Hi Guys!



I am in the process of getting the white iphone 4 with verizon. Can someone tell me if the phone has talking caller id? My droid has it and it starts of with "call from"...



Please advise.

Thanks!

    I've never understood that. My landline phone has that feature, and it also starts with "Call from..."



    NO. SERIOUSLY, PHONE? I HAD NO IDEA I WAS RECEIVING A CALL; I THOUGHT THE RINGING WAS JUST ME HAVING A BOUT OF TINNITUS. Just say the freaking name, for heaven's sake. Nothing more.



    There's no reason for anything to start with "Call from..." But I digress.



    No, there's no spoken Caller ID, though that would be AWESOME.



    I make up for it by setting everyone's ringtone to Alex-spoken renders of their name that I made myself in Terminal, copied to my phone, and assigned to each contact. Which is what you'll have to do, too.



    Wish my iPhone was actually a phone, though. I might get more use out of that.

    Is it possible change the standard ring tone to some thing like call from xxx-xxx-xxxx and then the stanadard ring tone. Most of the android phones have this feature and it could be very usefull.
