Do you connect your phone via Bluetooth while driving?

If I had a car that I could pair my phone to (some day), I'd do it.
But back to VW Bluetooth, I had some problems getting my phone paired. Initially, it turned out my last cell phone had a software problem. The new smart phone still wasn't pairing, so I took it into the dealer who paired it in, uh, 10 seconds. So much for my tech savvy.
I only use the voice activation feature, and frankly, I find it somewhat time consuming. There seems to be a big lull between activating the system, listening to the list of possible options, and actually initiating the calls. Amusingly, I find the robot's pronunciation so weird, that sometimes I think it's retrieving contacts out of the blue.
