From my understanding, not all bluetooth phones will work with the new GS. So, lets all pitch in and make a list of bluetooth phones that are compatible with the new GS?

Phones that work:
-Motorola Razr
-Sony Ericsson T610
-Sony Ericsson S710a
-Treo650 w/verizon*
-Motorola E815 with verizon*
-Nokia 6230*
-LG 8100*

*=limited function. can not transfer entire phonebook to GS.

keep'm comming guys.

my motorola from t-mobile works fine

The Motorolla V3 RAZR works great. The only downside is that you can only transfer 1 phonebook entry from the phone into the car's phonebook at a time.

My RAZR works like a charm as well. Unfortunately none of the Verizon phones work without doing what's called a SEEM edit, or basically hacking into the phone through a computer to open up some options and capabilities, since Verizon decides to limit their bluetooth on every phone thus far.

Based on my own theory, the Samsung i730 (it's a smartphone/PDA) should work from Verizon, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

In order to work with a bluetooth car, a phone needs a profile called "OBEX", or generic object exchange.

If you need more information on bluetooth or profiles, visit this site: http://www.bluetooth.com/, or you can PM me.

well, i picked up my gs yesterday and tried the bluetooth feature with my sony ericsson t610. it works great and i was able to send my entire phone book over to the gs.

LexuSteve,
I have the Sony Ericsson T616, which is probably pretty similar. I noticed on mine that it only sent over the first phone entry for each name. For instance, for my wife I have a Home, Mobile, and Work number entered. It only sent over the Home entry.

Did yours do the same? The only way I can figure to get around it is to list each number as separate name in the address book. That would be a major hassle.

my vzw treo650 has limited functionality...it'll pair up, i get phone calls and can make phone calls from the phone.

If I remember correctly, the new GS has bluetooth 1.1. The only phone that I'm SURE has bluetooth 1.1 is the Sony/Ericsson k750i. I picked one up in Hong Kong and although it's kinda pricey ($500), the merging of three main features really rocks.

mp3 player/radio (which sounds good)+ digital camera (2MP) + phone.

I didn't send each one over to the GS. My entire (about 70 phone numbers) were sent at the same time.

From my understanding, the t616 is the same as the t610. So, you should be able to transfer your entire phone book to the gs in one single command. Once your phone is connected to the GS, go into "connectivity" and poke around. You should find an option to "send all contacts", via bluetooth. If you cant figure it out, i'll post up a guide later tomorrow.

longjohn

Yeah, I was able to send my entire phone book over in one shot, but it only grabbed the first phone number for each name entry. I guess I'll have to give it another look.

i have the motorola e815 with verizon and works but limited on functions.

TheRupp

What functions are limited?

LexuSteve

i'm guessing that its the transfereing of the phone book, but yes, please elaborate.

has anybody tried the sony ericsson s710? i'm about to buy this phone, but if its functions are limited, i might have to get something else.

redsharky

yes it is the phonebook. i cannot transfer the phone book to the car. i called both motorola and verizon and they said that i have to wait for a newer program for the phone to use this function.
