   Unfortunately, this does NOT add voice-activated search on my 8830/OS v4.2.2.196 (neither did the 2.2.1 beta).

   Tom were you able to load any version higher then 2.2.0 on your 8830?

   I have voice enabled on my Cellular South 8330 running 4.5.0.51beta. It seems to work though haven’t tested it with a location locked in. A quick way to be sure if it’s enabled on your device, is to check the help option. There will be a special section there just for voice searching…even has a demo.

   I guess it doesn’t matter if the Voice Recognition works because I was never able to get it to work correctly on my 8320 under 2.2.1 anyway.

   Can somebody verify if you need to have VAD installed in order for this to work properly?

    doc: I loaded 2.2.1 and now 2.2.2 on my 8830 — neither supports voice-activated search.

    It doesn’t work on my 8830 4.5.0.52 on VZW. It would stop loading at 90% after asking me if I granted access to the radio location or something like that. 2.2.1 did the same thing

    Look at the link. It says “blackberry-42″ not “blackberry-45″ so even though it is for 4.2 it still works on higher OSs.

    Got it running on 4.5.0.69 on my 8310, and there is a voice search option though it’s not working very well. It can’t understand what I’m saying. I also noticed that this option only came up tonight as I was checking the maps, it wasn’t there when I first installed this morning. Maybe Google is still slowly implementing it and is why it’s not showing on the main Google Mobile site for download yet.

    To get the voice to work when upgrading you need to go under help and click on reset google maps. Works on my 8330 with os 4.5.0.51
