it can be done relatively quickly, even though it's not a perfect system.
30 seconds is too long. I don't like waiting for the woman to talk (maybe this is part of a larger personal problem? ). One little feature I found that makes it quicker is the "Voice Recognition Guidance." Set that to "no" and when you hit the voice button it just beeps instead of you having to sit there and wait for her to get done with her speech.

Also, I have not been able to hit the off hook button without waiting for her to stop talking. If I hit it prior to her finishing it doesn't do anything and I have to hit it again. I have to wait for her to finish. (I have the nav.)

Honestly, sometimes I find the voice system to be quite distracting as you fight with it.
