What cell phone to get???

Try this site:
Toyota Bluetooth Phone

 

I have a unlocked Nokia N85 and when i got it i just moved the ATT sim card from the old razr and put it in the N85. No problems with that and it synced with the bluetooth phone sys in my Gen III model III with nav and transfered all my contacts. I have NOT tried streaming music but it handles phone calls just fine.
That's one of the things i like about ATT that you can pretty much stick your sim card into a new phone and it works fine.
BTW i didn't buy the phone from ATT, i got it from Amazon

 

I JUST WENT THROUGH THIS. I WENT TO THE at&t STORE AND WE TRIED SEVERAL PHONES WITH NO LUCK. WE THEN FOUND A PHONE THAT WORKED FINE (I FORGET WHICH ONE). AFTER WE DROVE HOME AND SHUT OFF THE CAR I DECIDED TO PLAY WITH THE NEW PHONE AND THE BLUETOOTH. I RE STARTED THE CAR AND THE PHONE NEVER CONNECTED AGAIN. I DROVE BACK TO THE STORE TO FIND OUT THAT THE PHONE IS NOT COMPATABLE. I THEN BOUGHT A SONY W760A WHICH CONNECTS TO THE THE BLUETOOTH FINE. I THEN BOUGHT THE W350 FOR THE WIFE WHICH IS A SONY ALSO. BOTH PHONES ARE BOTH NORMAL PHONES AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A DATA PLAN TO BE PURCHASED. GOOD LUCK!

 

I have the LG Chocolate and it works very well but it will not transfer the contact list. I had to input all my contacts manually.

 

I had no problem pairing my Blackberry Curve (AT&T) with system. The few times that I've used the phone in the car, audio reception and transmission was fine.

 

I get great connectivity and call quality with my Blackberry.

 

i checked the verizon options on the Toyota BT site and the list comes no where close to what will connect. i have a LG 11000 enV touch, a Palm Centro, Blackberry Storm and LG 10000 Voyager, all connected, all transfered contacts. was actually pretty easy process.

on the Chocolate?? what version is it? the site above says it works with all versions except that the 8500 and 8550 dont support multiple entries (iow, more than one # for a single name entry). if your phone is not working, you might want to make sure you have the latest flash upgrade (this requires you to take to store to connect to their machine). the Chocolate was a work in progress the entire time it was available (which means it was a piece of garbage) so multiple updates were released to fix one bug after another.

My wife's I-Phone works great.

 

Also have an iPhone and it works great in my Prius IV without NAV.

 

I got a Prius II with the BluLogic (Bluetooth), and the current phone used in pairing with the car is a Samsung SGH-t339. I am able to make phone calls by dialing on my phone, but what I really want to do is to make call using the voice recognition system. When I was reading the manual, it stated that I need a phone with voice tagging capablity. Could anyone elaborate on this? Second, how do I transfer my contacts or is it not possible with the BluLogic?

 

I absolutely love my iphone (3g) not the new one and it works great in my honey's prius (2008). It is such a flexible useful tool. I highly recommend it (former verizon user).

 

Good to know, HTMLSpinnr. I have the 8900 also, but on AT&T. This will be my first car with Bluetooth, so I hope it works well.

 

You bought the top teckie car you mize as well get the top phone. The 3gs Iphone

 

I would appreciate any opinions/tips folks could offer me. I am a t-mobile prepaid customer and quite happy with this service. I have a handset without bluetooth now and wish to get a new phone to make use of the hands-free features of my Prius IV. Here are the models t-mobile (prepaid) offers which claim bluetooth functionality:

Samsung t239 ($60)
Samsung t429 ($50)
Samsung t349 ($100)
Nokia 3555 ($50)

Are any of these handsets likely to work well with my Prius IV? Are there particular bluetooth-related features I should be looking for?

 

I decided to give the Nokia 3555 a try. The t-mobile rep. said they have a 30 day return policy if it doesn't work well with my car. I'll report back once I receive the phone and test it.

Thanks Dave!!!

I have the chocolate 8550 and was SO MAD that it wouldn't transfer my contact list!! It's only a year and a half old! I will take it in and make them upgrade it for me. Wohoo!
