Dear all, While you are all on the topic of the caller ID anouncement, I have yet something more irritating. Not only does the phone anounce when it rings, even during the conversation it will also anounce the caller or his number. Besides muting the speech while we are on the line, is there something else that we can do?

The fact is that if you wish VO to speak lower on incoming calls, you must lower the volume of the ringer alert. Otherwise turning down the volume of VO is not extremely practical since there are too many cases where you need the volume back at a normal level. And muting VO every time you are done with it? I don't think the setting is intended to be used that way. Did you see the issue where an incoming call triggers VO to speak through the speakerphone even with a headset connected? The fact is that I am not asking for an improvement here, but something that should have been there at the first place. I am far from being over concerned by privacy, but I happen to feel a little uncomfortable when VO announces the names of people that call me when I am sitting on a train, in a meeting or basically close to strangers. Cheers!
