[Electronics-talk] Cellphone Vocabulary

[cheez]

A couple of days ago, it dawned on me.  the guy I work with didn't 
understand what I meant about speaking a text message.  for I know those of 
you that use Talks would have answered my inquiry expeditiously.
However, a supervisor at my job has a son that has the Samsung Alias 2, 
which does have a feature  that does this.  I saw this phone, but I had to 
use to many reference points to use certain features I like.
I'll check out what this dictation feature is all about and will let 
everyone know.
