iPhone was the first device/OS to have this feature AFAIK. Very few carriers around the world support it. I only know of AT&T and T-Mobile in US that support visual voicemail but there might few in Europe that do as well. I guess if there was demand here in NZ, Vodafone who sell the iPhone officially here would have implemented it by now.
How did you get the facebook chat to work? When i try to go to whos online in messaging, it just says no ones online when i know that there is people online...

- Sign in on facebook.com - Scroll down and click on your language (in my case: "Deutsch"). Change it to "English (US)" - Syncronize your facebook & live account on windows phone.
Disable facebook chat in the phone's message settings.
Login to your live/hotmail.com account you used for your phone.
add facebook if it's not under services already. it is click on it anyways and just then click on save. Back on live.com you should now see messenger friends, and it should show all the people facebook available for chat.
Now go to your phone, settings, email accounts, and sync the live account first, then sync your facebook account.
Go back to messaging and settings and turn fb chat on and everyone should show up!
Nah it still doesn't work for me. When i go into messaging settings and turn on facebook chat it says"we're connecting to facebook" for a couple of seconds, and then comes up with the web page saying "the address is invalid" ???
re-sync the facebook account under settings in windows phone.
after disconnecting facebook on hotmail and re-connecting it again and doing the re-sync of both facebook and windows live on the phone can take up to 24 hours to take effect on the phone.
Tellme voice recognition where the phone reads out chats and text messages is cool and you can reply to the message or call the person without even lifiting the handset. You can now take photos by touching on the screen so don't have to use the hardware button.
Hey I have a mango running on my HD7 and it's doing pretty good. really really polished for a beta. but still a few things to add.
my question is can you get speech to text to work over 3g? It works perfectly over wifi but it seems when i am out and about (which is when i need it the most) it doesnt work.

my carrier is vodafone.

it's vodafone that's the issue. I get speech to text on my facebook chat and windows live chat over 3G fine via telecom XT network.
When I installed the mango BETA on my windows phone, I had my work vodafone sim inserted in the phone in Auckland so had 3G connectivity on 2100MHz band and the phone also confirmed the 3G signal with 4/5 bars. Everytime I logged into facebook/windows live chat on the phone, I kept getting disconnected and logged out every 30 seconds. When I was sending messages to people online, I kept getting kicked out of my account. Inserted my telecom XT sim and I haven't had even 1 disconnection on the chat functionality and voice to text over 3G works without a hitch.
My friend who also has a vodafone's htc branded windows phone with VF sim, gets his voice to text messages delivered to him on the phone after a good couple of minutes.
I also noticed considerable difference between VF and XT when I was running the same apps like twitter, facebook, tripit etc which took a lot longer to pull data on to the app from the internet under VF in comparison to XT.
to give some positive credit to VF, I was getting my emails from work exchange account and hotmail delivered to my windows phone under VF quicker than it even reached my outlook client. This is also the case with my work VF blackberry. XT is always a second or 2 slower in receiving push emails.
Ropenuts: I find that speak to txt is almost useless for me. It hardly recognises what I'm trying to say. Still gives me some amusing results haha
it works great for me even though English is not my first language. I have noticed though that tellme does not likes loud background noises. it's perfect in my car as I have a cradle for the phone and my sound system mutes automatically before the call is connected or before the facebook and windows live messages are read and I can reply to them via voice.
Maybe the language thing then. May need to be localized or something cos I can't get a decent message sent out. I keep sending the random ones it comes up with tho its cracking me up
it's vodafone that's the issue. I get speech to text on my facebook chat and windows live chat over 3G fine via telecom XT network. .
ah ok thanks for that... my speech to text is working perfectly over wifi. to the point it's a little scary because i mumble a lot. its pretty cool when you just wake up and cbf replying texts XD
anyway, do you know what vodafone settings this speech to text issue could be under? i have a friend who works at vodafone who might be able to have a peek into the system files and see if they "can" do anything about it.
