There have been several lists of this nature in the past, unfortunately mobile phones change so often that they are quickly out-dated. I am exploring switching to a new mobile phone provider (currently with sprint) and want to know which AVAILABLE phones work completely with the prius (phone book, ringer, signal strength meter, etc). Price is not a factor, but size is (the smaller the better). Jeremy
The only thing I'll recommend is that you might want to stay away from Verizon. I have an e815 with Verizon and it works great, but Verizon phones won't let you tranfer the phonebook like other carriers.
Motorola V551 works pretty well. I have Cingilar/AT&T, and I had to send the phone book 1 contact at a time, but it works fine in the car.
I believe that Sprint also turns off some functionality -- my current Sprint phone does not allow phone book transfer (one at a time or otherwise). I much prefer the interface in my dad's Audi -- the address book is a live connection, not transfered.

Bluetooth was not a part of the initial design of that phone, it was an added on feature so that Sprint would an earlier Bluetooth offering after the still birth of the Sony Ericsson T608.
So there are some sprint phones with full bluetooth support? Do these ring through the car and have phone book support? Which?
