I'm considering upgrading to the Touch from an old Magician. I'm a heavy duty phone user and was hoping to get some advice and opinions on the following items:

Phone Dialler: I currently use a touch/gesture-based dialler called Potalla Telly which is excellent for quickly scrolling through 100's contacts with your thumb. How easy is the Touch dialler to use compared to this old software I've been using? Are there better options now?

Profile Switcher: does Touch have a decent phone profiler like Zen Pocket Phone or would you continue using ZPP?

Voice Command: I currently use the UK version of Microsoft Voice Command. How does Touch's native voice command compare? I have an Australian accent...

Magic Button: to properly quit programs will I still need to use a program like Magic Button?

Any comments appreciated.....

Phone dialler I find is fine, bu I tend to use Smart Dial or the 9-picture quickdial screen. To scroll quickly, just hold the D-pad down and letters appear taking you through hundreds of contacts very quickly. (Also works on the Magician)
No Profiles on the Touch
Voice command-haven't tried yet but plan to, especially for the car. Might wait until I get a Jawbone headset though because the noise cancellation might make everything more reliable.
Magic button. You can opt to have apps shut down with the X or only if you hold it down for a second. Works fine for me.

i use magic button and absolutely love it.
the only problem is that the phone app somehow got changed into two programs when i installed it. Each screen has to be closed individually (the screen with the keypad, and the screen with the speakerphone and other buttons).

THIS IS ANNOYING AS HELL!!!! anyone having this issue? Anyone have an idea how to fix??
