Trying to decide which bluetooth cell phone to use with my 250 NAV system. I currently have Sprint service and would like to stay on with it.

IS250AWD SMG LUX NAV

 

Sony Ericssons are probably best, as they do everything (push whole address book, show battery status). Moto's are less friendly, as they only push one number at a time, and don't display battery status via BT.

 

What about an A900 by Samsung?

 

Does anyone have experience with the Blackberry 8700c?

 

I have a Motorola RAZR (Verizon, no less), and it does display the battery status via BT.

 

Interesting. I have 2 other Mot's that don't. And have heard others say their RAZR's didn't.

 

Mine doesn't display battery either.

Are you RAZR guys having a lot of problems with dropping calls and stuff? Whenever I am in a call and I get another call, it disconnects me from both calls and just says call terminated by network. Asked the dealer, but they said nothing is wrong. This is also the same dealer that did my 5k service and put my rear wheels on the front of the car.

 

A900 should work, but I'm told that you have to get the firmware updated on it. I don't know if Sprint is currently selling the phone with the latest firmware on it or not. Cool phone though

 

As they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words...

 

PPC6700 pairs easily and works great but the signal strength and battery indicators do not show up. I can also transfer contacts one at a time but not the whole phone book.

 

I have the Sprint PPC-6700 Windows Mobile 5. It works well.

 

No, the phone is as stable with Bluetooth as it is handheld.

I did have stability issues when I went into the 'secret" menu on the phone and changed the preferred codec from EVRC to 13k. So I put it back to the factory default.

By the way, in addition to the battery meter, you'll also see that the signal strength is showing up via BT.

 

was told blackberry does not pair well but razr pairs very well

 

I have the 700w and it pairs very well. The problem I have is that when a call comes in, the nav screen will show the last number I called instead of whos actually calling. I don't show any batt or signal either.

In my previous car, my Cingular RAZR would only show signal, but my Verizon RAZR would show both. It's safe to say that they have different bluetooth implementations.

For those of you with the 6700's. Is your caller ID working correctly?

 

This is straight from a video from the Lexus web site on BlueTooth.

For my area code, it only showed six phones.

Hope this helps.
