Default Cell Phone for GS

Hey all:

I have a 2006 GS300 and am going to get a Bluetooth cell and was wondering what good and bad experiences people are having getting the Bluetooth to work well in the car. I understand about the phone book transfer issue, which isn't a problem for me. I just want the phone to interact well with the car.

Thanks for your help.

Cingular and T-Mobile phones work best with the Lexus BT. Verizon will not allow you to transfer any phonebook entries.

Cingular razor works great.I got mine 2 weeks ago. It takes a little bit of work to transfer the phone book, but well worth it.

I'm using a Sony Ericsson T637 with Cingular. Works great and the phone book transfers fine.

That phone is sick. My coworker just got it yesterday and was playing around with it. The thing is like a mini-computer.

Other than the phonebook transfer issue I have had a couple Verizon phones that pair easily and work extremely well. So far I have paired the following phones to my car:

Motorola V710
LG Vx9800 "The V"
Motorola Rzr V3C

Have used the Treo 650 (VZW) and Razr (T-Mobile) on my GS. Both connect fine, but the overall sound quality is just average.

I might have to adjust the mic sensitivity, as people often complain that they can't hear me well when I'm connected via BT.

When I first got my GS, I had a Treo 650 (T-Mobile) that was a pain to get connected the first time, but once I did it worked pretty well. Now I have a Blackberry 7100T (also T-Mobilethat was also a pain to get connected the first time, but now works much better than the Treo. I constantly ask people about the quality of the connection, and I rarely get any complaints.

My razr/cingular works great. Only issue is the phone book transfer which you already know about.

What is involved to transfer your phone book?

I just bought the Razor and everytime I try to transfer an address, when I select transfer the phone says, connection disconnected. What did you do to get the TRANSFER to work?

Thanks

Yah I've had the same problem with the Razr. Anyone know any fixes?

Btw. the razr works awesome in regards to bluetooth connectivity. Just turn on the car and it links right up.
