Version is GATW_01.18.02 adds back Bluetooth Object Push so you can transfer the contact list to another device, like a Lexus or a Toyota Prius. It is free for the asking at the Verizon corporate stores.

Steve Sinclair, the Senior Product Manager, Palm OS Wireless Products has issued statement that addresses these people's complaints. It says, in part: Dissatisfaction with Bluetooth performance is clearly a top customer issue and our technical team has been working to overcome Bluetooth hardware limitations to deliver improved performance on the 700p. Tops among these is improving the stability of the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the headset/carkit. We hope to have a patch specifically available for Bluetooth early in the new year assuming it passes through all its certifications and is approved by the carriers. At that time, we'll be able to publish an updated compatibility list, but to be upfront about this, the number of devices we have time to test is limited, so some users may still be disappointed that their headset or carkit isn't listed. That doesn't mean it doesn't work - it just means we didn't have the resources to test it. http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12689 Palm VP Promises Treo 700p Update - 12/15/2006

No, just pick ur phone up normally and push the talk button on it. sometimes it will let u take the call privately by doing only this. when you are talking through the system though, if u push transfer call on your phone or the nav screen it should transfer the call frm the system to your phone. There is no universal answer on how to disconnect Bluetooth on the handset while in a call. With the new Verizon UI, just press the right soft key on the phone and see the option to do that. Otherwise, every OEM may have different keystrokes to accomplish that.

It's a great music phone, but don't plan on uploading your phonebook to the car with Verizon's crippled model.

You can't transfer the phonebook at all with a Verizon Razr. Not true. http://cavemonkey50.com/2006/04/verizon-en...sfers-on-razrs/ Mine transfered nice & easy. You were lucky. Verizon MISTAKENLY allowed file transfer on the initial release of their V3c RAZR only when they maded the initial rush release before the Christmas season last year. ALL other versions of their RAZR are crippled. Click your link again for the editorial remark:

How can the passenger dial from the dash console without pressing a button on the driver's steering wheel?

Has anybody tried the Motorola KRZR K1m yet? I saw some posts that say you can transfer contacts to the phonebook.

Here, try this instead. Load up a notebook computer with your contacts in Outlook Express. No extra characters (555) 123-4567 no - 5551234567 like that then use this easy procedure: http://priuschat.com/Bluetooth-phone-book-...ptop-t6017.html

The Motorola Q smartphone from Verizon will load the phonebook to the car.

Pair the Q with the Lexus and then use the Bluetooth Manager in Object Push Mode. As the other poster said, unless the Outlook data is pristine, though, you can send corrupted data to your phonebook that are impossible to delete. The phone number format must be strictly numeric 1234567890, with no punctuation or space characters. My BMW was quite different. All I did was pair the phone with the car and everything transferred automatically. Lexus uses the Object Push Profile of Bluetooth while most of the other cars use the Synchronization Profile - much better. The Bluetooth standards were adopted in 2003 and the car-phone interoperability problems are still horrible, with Lexus (Denso carkit) and Verizon being the worst.

Yes. It works with any Bluetooth phone that will otherwise pair with the car for audio and a laptop with a BT adapter.

How do you delete those corrupted contacts, or how can you delete the whole phone book? All of the entries are greyed out all of the time, so you can't select and delete.

Is the car moving? The phone book is non functioning with the car in motion. Names need to be in the speed dial menu in order to call while moving. See if you can call from the address book with the car still. No, what is the command to dial from the phonebook while the car is stopped?

The Q is an engineering marvel, but there is no way I can use it to process my email because I do too much over 75 per day that require complete answers. Also, the web browser is more of a novelty because of it's size. For business, I still need my RAZR with Broadband Access, Navigation and complete connectivity with my laptop - none of which I can do with the Q.

I bought the new Motorola Q and was able to upload the contacts into the phone book. However, the names appear grey when they are displayed and nothing happens when you press them, although the phone is paired. Any similar experiences?
