Hello, Although I don't find the option to turn off the announcement of caller ID of high priority, I do realize that some might. Sure, having caller ID announced is good, but I don't look at it like Apple has done us a great favor by adding it, and those who think it can be implemented better should just shut up and be content. I mean, nothing would ever get better if we all had such an outlook on things.
