Alltel offers Voice2TXT voicemail transcription {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 1st 2008 4:12PM I've been part of the SpinVox beta trial for the last 10 months, averaging around 10 converted voicemails per day. It is tremendously helpful when sitting in a meeting--you can't answer the call and you don't want to be rude and hold the phone up to your ear to listen to voicemail, but you can steal a quick read of your e-mail without interrupting things. Are the transcriptions perfect? No, but they're 90% accurate and that's good enough. (They have some trouble with names and proper nouns. It's pretty obvious the transcriptionists are not North American. And yes, these are transcripts generated by people, not speech reco software.)
I consider this an essential business app--I can't imagine working without it.
Don't forget it, kwiry it {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 15th 2007 1:32AM If you don't want to text the info to yourself, you could use Jott instead. With Jott, you speak the note into your phone, which is then converted to text and SMS'd or e-mailed to you (your choice). You can also send messages to other people the same way. Free. I've been using it happily for months now. I don't work for them or own any stock in the company. I'm just a Jott fanboy. http://jott.com/

Why the BlackBerry Pearl keys suck {Engadget Mobile}
Dec 2nd 2006 11:41PM I tried the Pearl, returned it, and went to the Samsung SGH-T719. I've never looked back. The 719 is the first clamshell with Blackberry Connect. It's actually a little bit smaller than a RAZR, and does everything the Pearl does: Blackberry e-mail, contacts sync and calendar sync. It's quadband--I've used it in five European countries now. BTW, the keyboard is terrific.
