Bluetooth connection to Samsung Freeform II SCH-R360
Just putting it out there for anyone trying to do a Bluetooth connection to the Samsung Freeform II SCH-R360 cell phone:
The phone connects FINE during initial pairing... HOWEVER, if you try to change the name and/or "unpair" and then try to pair it again the phone MAY NOT pair.
After initally pairing the device (no problems), I tried to get cute and change the name of the device in my car's menu and afterwards all I would get is "unable to pair, wrong passkey try again message".
I tired every imaginable thing to re-establish the pairing with no luck. Wiping the phone's memory to factory defaults did not work. Initializing the car's bluetooth system did nothing. The cell phone rep could not do it either. Samsung reps were stumped, too. I had to order a new phone from Samsung to get it to pair again.
Bottom line, if you happen to have this phone... once it pairs LEAVE IT ALONE.
All features and functions work fine -- the address books tranferred flawlessy. Great setup overall.
Avoid HOURS of headaches with this phone.. PAIR it and LEAVE IT ALONE!!!
Googling for answers I found nothing on this topic... I am hoping to save another soul this setup frustration.

Free Form II
Hi... ok so I'm lucky enough to have this phone too 
How did you get the your contacts to transfer "flawlessly"? When I try my phone automatically disables the blue tooth. Any suggestions?
