I have used the Windows Live Search feature on Sprint’s non-Windows phones, and it works beautifully. The voice recognition is far better than the WLS for WM voice recognition, and the GPS feature works great as well.

I fully recommend it to anybody. Much easier to use than Google maps on a tiny screen.

It may be that TellMe was already far enough along in the development of this for the BlackBerry before the Microsoft acquisition?

Still, it doesn’t look good when a Microsoft company releases something for the competition before their own product.

Which is why the first sentence reads “Windows Mobile does have and support voice-enabled functions…” ;)

Microsoft have had voice search on Windows Mobile for nearly a year, in the form of Live Search for Mobile (http://wls.live.com).
