I currently have a T-Mobile Motorola V330 phone, and I am only able to download one phone number at a time into my 2006 RX-330.

I was told by a Lexus mechanic that some phones have the ability to transfer the whole phone book at once.

Which phone is the best?

Anyone use the T-Mobile Blackberry Pearl?
If so please advise...

 

I use a Cingular Blackjack with my RX's Bluetooth connect. The phone and the car's connection work great!

A few Blackjack questions for you RXowner:
How is your battery life?
Do you keep the bluetooth on all day?
Have you tried call waiting with your BJ and the Lexus?
Does the Blackjack accept 3rd party software installations ie. MS Onenote?
Thanks

 

Couple of days, depending on how you use it. I don't use it for music, but I have BT on all day. I make short-length phone calls, with a 30-minute con-call maybe every other day.

Yes.

Hmm...never had a call come in while I was using it in the Lexus. I would imaging I would pick up the phone and press the appropriate key.

Yes. Currently, I have the following third-party apps installed:

1. pTravelAlarm (Burr Oak Software)
2. Connected Bits Weather
3. greatBal gCalc (cool calculator)
4. Ilium Software's Screen Capture
5. Mapopolis (GPS Navigation software)
6. Microsoft's .NET Compact Framework 2.0
7. Microsoft Live Search
8. PHM Registry Editor
9. Vieka WordPad

I used to have Microsoft OneNote 2007 Beta until I upgraded the phone's firmware. After that, I didn't reinstall it. I use OneNote on my laptop daily, but really never used it on the phone.

IMO, the coolest feature of the Blackjack (and other Windows Mobile -based phones) is that I can "tether" it to my laptop and have a high-speed network connection just about anywhere. The 3G speed for me is from 750Kbps to over 900Kbps. I once got T1 speed (1024Kbps)! I no longer pay for T-Mobile HotSpots or airport wireless fees, etc.

p.s. The Blackjack also comes (in the box) with a second, high capacity battery which provides even more juice than the standard battery.

i still havent down loaded mny phone book into my nav...

 

Do you pay extra for the ability to connect to the Internet through your laptop with the Blackjack? I have an older Verizon cell that I use to connect to the Internet and no extra charge, except it does use the minutes that I have in my regular plan.

 

I think I'm paying an extra $29 for an unlimited data access plan.

buy a sony ericsson, most of them can transfer whole phone book at once.
i have tried out k700i iand k750i and it works fine

 

Sony Ericsson works, a friend of mine says.

 

Does 2004 RX has bluetooth option? Or how do I find out? I have a NAV system.

 

Do you have the two little phone buttons on the right side of your steering wheel? If so, then yes you have it.

Thank you for your reply. RXOwner, would it be possible for you to test the call waiting with your Blackjack? With my Razr, I loose both phone calls. I had to shut off the call waiting because my wife always calls me for nonsense while I am on with a customer. I would really appreciate it.

 

I'll test this over the weekend. I'll call my wife from my Lexus and have my daughter call me. Stay tuned...

I have a new '08 RX-350 and a Verizon Blackberry 8830 which is just a full QWERTY Pearl and I can download the whole phone book in one swoop. However, if you have more than two entries per person (phones) they will be split up into multiple duplicate names with separate numbers.. .that is a poor implementation of the address book on the car but I can live with it.

 

RXOwner,
Did you have a chance to test the Blackjack call waiting this weekend?
