How about voice dialing/voice commands? I understand the Sprint version does neither, how about the VZW version?

No voice dialing or commands for the VZW Pre either.

Will the 1.4 update supposedly coming soon do anything about this? Or is it a webos prob. in general?

One would hope so, since all things seem possible with software these days (e.g., Nexus 1 to get multitouch capability via latest software update). The lack of voice dialing/voice command feature on a so-called "smart phone" seems incredibly "stupid" to me, right up there with not being able to voice dial via bluetooth on the Droid Eris. I'm also wondering about the reports that you have to slide the Pre + open to answer an incoming call...

I agree with you blackburn5: Palm missed big by leaving out voice command and an onscreen keyboard. However, I still love WebOS and the Pre.

Regarding opening the phone to answer, this is not accurate. I can answer my Pre without opening the keyboard.
