Office - TTS for e mails?

Hi,

Office works fine in my car for messages except it doesn't appear to offer 'Text to Speech' to read my e-mails out whilst driving.

I can read the e mail header whilst driving or read the complete message when stationary but I don't appear to have the icon to get the system to read my e mails aloud.

My phone is a Blackberry 9300.

Is the TTS feature phone dependent, car hardware dependent or only certain geographical locations have TTS enabled? I'm uk based.

Thanks in advance.

Would like to know how to do this as wel.... Is the reading functions only for emails or can it do texts as well??

Also, does anyone know how to make use of the rss feeds? I always get a "no Internet connection" facebook and twitter updates work fine tho..

Frustrating to have a car with so many toys that don't work..

I just want to get the text message feature working, which I can't seem to do. I have the original HTC Incredible, and while I can Bluetooth my phonebook and audio to play music, I can't get my texts to come across. What's the secret? Thanks...

Your phone must have a Bluetooth profile called "Message Access Profile (MAP)" for this to work. I don't think Incredible got that. You can check for compability

Is there a tutorial on how to use these functions? I really really want to be able to use them.. I have an iPhone 4 so should be fine!

iPhone 4 will most probably work when IOS6 is released in Sept/Oct.
