So really, it's a pretty major flaw.

They also don't have voice dialing.

Afaik, my Motorola Razr V3c was fine with hearing aids (although i can't confirm this), and it definitely had voice dialing (albeit, you had to tag waveforms onto contacts for it to work)

most importantly, it's illegal, and they're jerks. Yes, the razr is fine. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:17 8
- I love them. my iphone is so good to me. sorry you're so embittered by the sitaution. -- nm - amanda Jan 5, 15:23 3
  - they've had what, three years to work this out? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:24 2
    - yeah, I'm really sorry for your loss. but you've also said you think it and its service overpriced. - amanda Jan 5, 15:35 1
      - because it's a chat forum and we're all in a chatty mood, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:42
- do you know if the 3GS has the same hearing aid issue? They may have improved it for the refresh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:18 3
  - If you mean the iphone, it is still incompatible as far as I know. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:22 2
    - Yes, I mean the iPhone 3GS. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:24 1
      - yeah, no dice. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:24
