Announce caller name

---

I've had a search, but couldn't find anything ..

Is there a way to make the HD2 say the callers name (if in phonebook) when an incoming call comes in and you are using a headset?

It's a pain to have to look at the phone all the time before knowing whether to press the "answer key" on the headset.

ROM 1.48

Thanks!

They're discussing doing that exact thing with MS Voice Command, but on a Diamond.

Ahah.. great, thanks

Not sure if it's worth paying £30 though just to have someone tell me who is calling, lo.

Yeah, too right!

Maybe just record yourself saying the names of the more important people on your contact list and set the samples as ringtones for those people. You could do it for everyone on your list if you wanted to.

Not a perfect solution, I know, but it would work (and it's free )

Haha - I guess.

What I really want though is it will only say the name if I am using the headset.

If the headset isn't plugged in, I don't want it announcing the callers name to everyone around me

I wondered. My trinity could do that. But it was due to a rom I got from here, I think.
Somehow it was a nice feature. But utterly scary at the first time.
