    I have a Treo 650 w/ Sprint. Does this transfer the phonebook to the car?

    Also... my 650 address book gets updated often... at least a couple of times most weeks. Is there anyway to have them automatically sync without user intervention?

    A quick search shows posts where users say the 650 works fine. To sync, you simply choose 'replace' phonebook when doing the transfer.

    You may want to add if you have a Razr through Verizon or Cingular/T-Mobile

    I keep my cell phone in case clipped to my belt. I can open the magnetic clasp on the flap and initiate a call with voice command on the phone without ever taking my eyes off the road. Using the MFD requires a driver to look at and touch the MFD. The latter is more likely to lead to an accident, IMO.

    For incoming calls, the caller is almost always somebody that I want to talk so I don't need to know who's calling before answering.

    Well, you sir, should donate your Bluetooth handsfree to someone who can appreciate it! ;)

    The conversation is hands-free, and that's plenty good enough :p

    I hope this is not viewed as thread crapping ..

    I found Verizon annoying with it's intentional breaking of BT, and being expensive to boot. I moved myself and my wife to t-mobile pay-per-minute at 9 cents/minute (they have their own marketing term), and have no complaints.

    The moto v330 works without problem.

    OK, under full disclosure I fully admit to being technology challenged. It took me three attempts just to turn off the reverse beeper. So, has anyone successfully completed and how does one upload the phone book from a blackberry 7100?
