Default Bluetooth compatibility

Does anyone know where to get an updated list of bluetooth compatible phones? I went to the Lexus site and it seems like it hasn't been updated in a year based on the phones on the list.

I was thinking of getting the Droid X or the Samsung smart phone with VZW. I'm used to the Bluetooth feature and can't live without it. I currently use a BB that isn't on the list but it pairs up with np's.

I have no problem pairing with my Droid and Droid Incredible. Would be surprised if there was a problem with X. You can always just have the Verizon rep test a phone for you.

I have the Droid Incredible and I have no problem. They use the same technology so you will be fine.

I just got a Droid X and have been trying to pair it with an '07 RX 350 with Nav, but can't do it. I took it to a Verizon store and a rep tried for awhile, but the phone couldn't find the Nav. Didn't have any problems with 3 iPhones or an older BB.

Any suggestions?
