I'm having difficulty with voice dialing over a Bluetooth connection using the Plantronics Discovery 655 headset and my Blackberry 8830. It worked a couple of times for me, but when I initiate voice dialing on the headset, the screen on the 8830 reads, "Initializing; please wait", and then it just freezes there without transferring the control to the headset. Other functions of the headset work just fine.

I have deleted and re-installed the headset many times without success in getting voice dialing back. Once, I thought that making the 8830 "discoverable" did the job, but that doesn't work either now.

Anyone have any suggestions?

When the headset isn't bound you don't have that problem? Try this, try to start a voice call without the headset and then immediately bind the headset and try with it. I know that if my 8830 has to rebuild the database at the time I'm bound it kicks right out after being done. So if I know I've made Contact changes I build it again before using it with the headset. -Pk
