"Promising but disappointing"
Version: Vlingo for BlackBerry 3.0
Pros
Excellent replacement for BB's built in voice dialing
Cons
Completely kills VZ Navigator GPS navigation on Storm 2.
Summary
If it didn't kill navigation, I would highly recommend it. However, being as the vendor is aware of this issue and shows little interest in addressing it, I can't recommend it for Storm users.

"Only average"
Version: Vlingo for BlackBerry 3.0
Pros
Voice recognition is slightly better than the built in BB app
Cons
Cannot port from phone-to-phone. Voice recognition far from perfect.
Summary
Like most apps, the price is not exactly a budget buster, but I did not find the advantages of this app to warrant a second purchase for my new phone.

"Can't switch between devices"
Version: Vlingo for BlackBerry 3.0
Pros
Works ok at voice recognition, but could do better.
Cons
My biggest CON is that they will not allow you to switch your purchase between devices. I purchased this for my blackberry and am now switching to an Android device. They expect me to purchase it again. This WILL NOT happen. Only app to do this.
Summary
Works OK on the voice recognition. Could do much better and have not seen that the "learning" works. Again, they should not require you to purchase again to change devices. I will not buy this again or recommend to anyone.

"Buyer Beware"
Version: Vlingo for BlackBerry 3.0
Pros
Works decent...not great
Cons
Unrealistic reinstall restriction if you upgrade to different BlackBerry 30 days or more after purchase. If you do, and either say goodbye to Vlingo or pay again...and again.....and.....again. Each time you switch phone (huh...bait and switch?)
Summary
Ok for the money, as long as you don't switch phones for a year......ridiculous and unheard of in the app world.
I purchased 36 days ago for my Tour. Today I switched to a Curve. Surprise surprise! I can't reinstall. Vlingo policy only allows reinstall to a different model for 30 days or same model for a year (either way, must have same phone #). I will not waste my money a 2nd time. No warning (buyer beware) when u buy the product either. Goodbye Vlingo -
"Great app. A must have for the serious BB user"
Version: Vlingo for BlackBerry 3.0
Pros
It works. That is the most important thing.
Cons
Price
Only opens BBM, doesn't compose.Summary
I was able to get a copy of full version at no charge. Even if I had to pay though I would have still bought. I do a lot of txt and e-mailing. This has made it a lot easier. It can take awhile as it learns so you may have to go through and fix certain words. But is gets most of it right. The ability to open so many applications has been great. If they added the ability to compose BBM I would rate it a 5 star
