Now you can dial by talking to you phone if you'd like

The Nokia 3310, from 2000, already had voice dialing. And while the recognition may not have been as good (I frankly can't remember), it certainly didn't take the time that my current cheap Android takes to even start listening.

It worked good enough. I pressed a button and said Pizza and it immediately called my local pizzeria. For some reason I’ve never got that to work smoothly with Siri.
I was honestly thinking about landlines when I wrote this :)

Sidenote: I've never used the voice recognition myself, honestly.
