When aways from home, especially when driving, it's virtually impossible
to take notes while talking to somebody and it would be very useful if
there was some record button on the phone to capture any part of a
conversation. I haven't seen any such mobile phones. Anybody knows of
such?

Do any phones _not_ have this? The last five Motorola phones I've owned
have had this capability, V60s, V276 , V325, V325i, V195.

It sounds like he wants to record both sides of the conversation. My last
few phones had a "voice memo" function, that you Could speak into like a
tape recorder, but not a Call recorder (attempting to capture a call with
the voice recorder on my current WinMo phone only captures my half of the
conversation.)

Yes, you've got it. I have a Moto V330 phone that also has a Voice
Record option within the Office Tools menu but there is no indication
even in the Owner's Manual that it can be used for recording a phone
conversation. Interestingly though, as I looked into that option, I
found an old voice record in it that was apparently a recording of a
phone conversation of mine but for the life of me I can't figure out how
that happened. I accidentally must have stumbled into the recording
method and I sure would like to find out how to do it deliberately.

Go to phonescoop.com, and do a search with "Voice Memo" set to
"Required" (and whatever other features you require (use the "Show all
options" option to search by more parameters, including "Voice Memo,"
which isn't in the basic search).

There are many errors in the Phone Scoop database, so don't assume that
the phone you want doesn't have the features you want. I.e., one of my
T-Mobile phones doesn't show up even when I select only features that it
actually has.
