You watch too many Star Trek shows.
I'd hate to be the one constantly apologizing to people for calling them by accident.
- You know, Frankie, I'm getting tired of that neighbor's dog barking so much.
-- Maybe you could tell the neighbor that someone threatened to "call the police".
(ring, ring)... 9-1-1, what's your emergency?

That's silly.
My VoiceSignal-equipped phones (a Sprint Samsung SPHA660, a Sprint Samsung
SPHA620 and my current T-Mobile Motorola U6 PEBL) only respond to a handful
of commands: Name dial (dial out of the phonebook), Digit dial (dial by saying
the digits of the phone number), and a few others. At least with the VS
software, I don't see your scenario happening very often, if at all.
But with VS, I have to open the flip or press a button on the phone or
headset (depending on which phone it is and how I have it configured).
I'd like to... not have to do that.

Truly hands-free voice-activated cell phones
is anyone aware of any cell phones in the market that offers true
hands-free voice-activated usage? I'm not talking the type where you
have to reach up to the earpiece to toggle the voice functions (i.e.
Bluetooth, etc.) or snap something on the cable. I'm looking for one
that constantly monitors your voice for a trigger word or some such
idea.
Thanks,

My guess is that idea is just too processor intensive at this time.
Right now the phones can "stop what they're doing" and devote any
necessary resources into parsing your speech when a button is pressed.
Constantly processing every sound they pick up waiting for a trigger
phrase would likely bring all other functions to a crawl, and perhaps
beheck on the battery life.
It might be a neat idea for a special interest product, though; i.e. a
model with few other features designed for, perhaps, the disabled.
