Is there any equipment other then the icom ID-1 for digital voice that will work within the D-Star infrastructure? I am looking for something for voice only...

I think I understand your question as being "is there a 23cm D-STAR radio without the 128k Digital Data (DD) capability, but with the Digital Voice (DV) capability?" DV also carries data, at 1200 bps, so there is no "voice only" in D-STAR.
As was mentioned, the IC-9100 will have 23-cm DV capability when released. I am not aware of any other 23cm DV-only production radios. However, one could get there by using a homebrew GMSK modem and an AMBE device such as the DV-Dongle. There are PCBs/Kits for such things as well as Jonathan Naylor's soundcard GMSK modem. Are these appealing to you? (BTW, Friendcom supposedly is going to do some 23cm RF decks that would attach to either of these solutions.
