Question for the experts here

I just bought the 8600 after losing my Slider last week in a cab in NYC. I like the phone so far (size is nice, good display, sound could be a little better but not bad).

Here is the question. In the Voice Svc menu you have the option to record Voice Commands such as Yes/No and Wake Up. What the heck are these used for? The manual is less than helpful to say the least. Let me know. Thanks all.

The phone allows you to dial by voice. You need to train it to recognize your voice saying the "standard" commands, then you need to associate a particular voice tag with each person you want to call. BEWARE -- if you have multiple numbers associated with a person -- eg, home, business, cell -- you can only tag ONE of them with a voice dial command. If you want to have a separate voice command for the same person's multiple numbers, you'll need to store them in separate phonebook locations.

I believe the "wake up" command is for use only when the phone is in a hands-free unit. When you're holding the phone in your hand, you can get it to go into voice recognition mode by holding down the SEND key for a few seconds.
