Announce the name of the caller

Please add the option to announce the name of the caller. My old crummy feature phone had this and it was awesome.

        Oh, it may have something to do with the first setting you do when you reset the phone. Changing settings after the fact did not enable music search.

        I tried all settings and languages, some stuff is hard coded or takes hints from GSM.

        I have 2 Lumia 920 phones, one has music recognition, one doesn't. This is really cutting into my love for WP.

        Why can't I be in Japan and still use English TTS? This localization thing is getting out of hand. My friend's phone has a built-in music search he paid for and can't use because of some stuck setting.

        I keep seeing (Americans?) advising how to turn this on,
        The option just does not appear on uk lumia 920 phones..
        Not that I can find and changing the language to english us and restarting did not enable the option either.
        Really hope I am wrong!

        This is a feature that Microsoft has disabled in HTC HD7 phone without anyone willing to explain why. HTC stated the function under "speech for phone accessibilty" was "removed" by Microsoft. It was a superb feature when on the move and hands-free and is very useful for the blind. Lets get this reinstated as a matter of urgency

        Available in Mango but not available on Nokia Lumia 800!! This is a backward step from my Nokia N8. Can only hope that this is planned.
