Answer 1

I don't own the Sirocco Edition but the 8800 original. Don't mean to offend but, are you making extra sure that the ear-piece for the phone is properly positioned? Also double check that there's no plastic over that part of the phone. One of the things about the 8800 series is that unless the portal for the incoming speech is right over your ear, its pretty much inaudible. For some reason it seems to be especially problematic with this type of handset. Otherwise, the only other reasons I can think of are that you might have some signal issues where you're located, or it could just be faulty. Try it out in lots of different environments and positions and see what happens.
The voice tags are very likely automatic, (similar to the way they are in the N80, or 6233, etc) and you can't edit them per se. They do take some getting used to but the phone becomes better able to recognize tags the more often you use them. To make voice dialling easier, try looking in the options under each contact to see if there is a possibility for adding a nickname, and then try checking to see whether the phone will recognize the nickname for calling that person. One last resort is to check first how the phone pronounces the tag for each default. You might find a slight difference in emphasis or inflection which will make all the difference between getting the right number and no match at all.
