Just traded from a 8125 to the 8525 and for the life of me I can not figure out how to use the voice tags. It was simple on the 8125 -- just a button on the side, press it and speak the contact's name and it would dial it.
Went back to the Cingular store and no one knew how to do it?
From what I have experienced so far, it is pretty simple once you find out where to go. Go to the start menu, then settings, then make sure you are on the personal tab and select the "voice speed dial". Once selected, there are tabs on the bottom; voice tag, contacts, SIM, application, and about.
If you want to tag a contact, then go to contacts and select a contact and tap the button in the bottom right that has the image of a phone and mic. Then you can select which phone # you want and press the red button to record. Record your tag then tap "ok" in the upper right to go back to the list.
If you want to tag a SIM contact or an application, just choose that tab, then choose the contact or app, then tap record and record your tag.
As for how to start it, you can go to start menu, programs, voice speed dial, or you can do what I did. I found myself using the voice tags more than the comm manager (you can just tap the screen for that) so I replaced the button assignments. To do that, go to the start menu, settings, make sure you are on the personal tab, then tap buttons. I assigned the comm button, right next to power button, button 3, to voice speed dial. That way I can just press that button, wait for the beep, then say the voice tag and viola.
If you have any other questions, let me know, hopefully I can help. I have been all about this phone since I got it and have been playing with it nonstop.
I agree -- that's almost exactly what I did after much fooling around. I just replaced the internet button for voice tag. It was much simpler with the 8125 but this is a good workaround.
