Lightbulb Updated Bluetooth Thread -- Recommendations Needed

It took me half an hour, but I've read every Bluetooth thread in the forum. Most are pretty old involving phones or links that are no longer available. So let's get some updated opinions:

If you have a bluetooth phone which works with the car, please give some feedback:

Model of phone

Call Sound Quality

Signal Quality

Ease of Linkup with the vehicle

Ability to use advanced features (e.g. phonebook, etc.)?

Any experience welcome -- also, let us know your vehicle model year.

THANKS!

My wife and I both use use a Nokia 6102i. The quality is fine throught he Bluetooth when they the car and the phone find one another. I need to have the phones on before I enter the car. If I don't, sometimes they don't connect. Transferring the phone numbers is a bit of a job since it can only transfer one phone number at a time, not the whole phonebook.
