My buddy and I were searching for MacNeill Autotmotive, the folks that manufacture those great floormats for your cars in Bolingbrook, Il.  Anyway, we have the Nav systems going on my N8, his Apple 4S, and his Caddy CTS looking for this place when he says,"list local restaurants"'  Up pop some great local eateries and I just about crapped my pants.  I said, "holy crap" and in his normal wise ass self says,"I'm sure your Nokia has the same app".  So tell me, is one available?  I hate being number two.

Try Vlingo. It's free. Doesn't have the same range and flavor as Siri, but sends messages, text, & does web search well enough.

I use Vlingo and I like it most for when I need to text or email while I'm driving.

I know you're not supposed to use the phone while driving but yeah, I still do..

Also great for when you have to text or email long messages.

The trick is to speak a bit slower and clearly and roll up the windows and turn down or off your radio.

Another thing that sucks is that it your text messages say "*Composed with Vlingo" at the bottom. Anyone know how to stop it from adding that?

It says that at the bottom of emails too but you can easily delete it before sending the email.

It's not so bad and they don't charge you for it.

Or, one can obey the law and the sense of reason and NOT email or text WHILE driving! How about stop the car and text the text!  Cool
