I would like for this thread to be a survey for those of us considering a new phone to use with their Mini Bluetooth systems. No arguments of this phone vs that one please - just tell us your phone & model if you are syncing successfully with your Bluetooth module.
thanks,
Pat

 

blackberry pearl seems to synch really well with the bluetooth from my experience and the razr as well.

What matters more than the model of the phone is the software that is in the phone.

Those two phones work the best from my experience of delivering cars with the bluetooth system.

I can post the phones that have been tested by mini and their software version if you would like to see that. There arent very many on the list, but those are the phones that are going to work the best according to MINI because they have been tested in the R56 with our programing!

KEEP IT MINI!

 

Verizon RAZR V3 works perfectly, and is on the mysterious "Mini Approved" list.

Palm Treo 755p works, but blows up the Bluetooth module from constant phone book uploads.

 

Nokia 6103 synched successfully
Nokia 6133 synched unsuccessfully
Blackberry 7520 synched successfully
Siemens SK65 synched successfully

 

Anyone sync'd a Verizon Motorola Q?

 

Anybody sync a Blackberry 8700? Any issues?

It appears to on the approved list but I've been wondering if I should do anything to my address book in advance. I haven't used filters to any great extent and thought there might be a reason to avoid syncing ALL the contacts in my database. Might give my something to do before my car shows up at the dealer.

 

My cel phone use is extremely light, but I have received and made calls with a Verizon Samsung SCH-A950.

I have not used a phonebook in the phone nor in the MCS.

I have the NAV.

 

My wife's Verizon RAZR V3m and my MOTOKRZR K1m both work just wonderfully on her Mini's bluetooth.

 

RAZR V3xx and Motorola SLVR, both on AT&T (Cingular)

 

the iPhone works.

 

Based on this, it might be interesting to know how long each person has been using their bluetooth. Assuming Coffeeman's problem is not a unique one, 1 month of usage might not indicate a given phone won't "blow up" the bluetooth module 6 months from now.

I have been using a Sprint Samsung M300 for a month without any problems. If it blowes up the BT Mod I will report back.

 

sony ericsson w580i
perfect.

 

my Samsung A900 works...ah-hem... worked..

 

uh oh.....that certainly doesn't sound good!

 

Look at his signature...

 

Moto razr v3
Moto krazr

 

Blackberry 8100, since April, no problems, but I only pair it 10% of the time.

 

I was using a VX6700 Win Mobile PPC, but it was intermittent at best with regards to connectivity. Phonebook synched fine, but more often than not after 5 mins of being in the car it would lose the BT connection.

Tried the 6700 again with the WM6 update, same thing, same issues. Powersave features were set to never turn off.

Recently swapped with the kids LG "Chocolate" and have 100% success with pairing etc. I'm using this until I figure out what phone I want to try next.

Thinking about the Razr Maxx or Razr 2

 

UT Starcom 6700 works fine as long as you don't have itset to any type of powersave (it tries to shut bluetooth down if you don't touch the phone for awhile), not the best but it does work.

 

Motorola Razr V50, no problems at all.

 

T-Mobile Dash.

No problems so far (for approx. 3 weeks).

 

I have the Treo 750. Same problems as SDMike

 

The Samsung Blackjack running Windows Mobile 5, works but does not sync the address book. HOWEVEr, I just upgraded to a new "pilot" version, Windows Mobile 6 which will be released in a few weeks to everyone, works perfect. The address book syncs right up.

So, in summary, the BlackJack (Samsung SGH-i607) works with the 07 mini.

 

Moto Krzr not issues works fine, audio quailty a little poor and i have to talk loud.
