Yep, think that's the one from the manual - and as I said - it's a bit out of date.

As its your phone you wont forget to take it out of the car either.

I hope the following will help those with an iPhone and a 500 on order.

The 8GB iPhone on O2 will readily 'pair' with Blue and Me and the Phonebook downloads and appears in the menus. The 'pairing' is retained in memory.
Since the 16GB has identical firmware and database I see no reason why it should not work equally well.
I have received calls and the caller name is accurately displayed on the dial at the centre of the speedometer. I have yet to plug the phone into the USB socket to test battery charging but, if USB output proves inadequate, the 12V socket will suffice.
You may need to rethink some entries in your contacts because the display width is limited.
To date I have had much less success with the voice activation which has proved unreliable and, on occasions, rather irritating.
That is no fault of iPhone and may well be me.

Paired my Nokia 5300 last night. Works fine.

Paired my Nokia E90, works fine and easy to download the phone book once i worked it out, just got to try the message reader!!

Will there be an updated list of compatible phones. My wifes Raza V8 seems so redundant as we are unable to connect it...

T-Mobile MDA Vario II pairs fine and calling is trouble free too. Not a big user so can't really give a percentage. Seem to be quite good at getting the "woman" to understand me too. This phone is also known as the HTC Tytn, the Orange SPV-M3100 and the O2 XDA Trion (and some other names in other markets).

Ok then heres a problems for people.....

My work number goes to a menu system when you call it and you would normally select the correct option by pushing the right number on the phone key pad! however how do you do this through the car, when connected i can't select any options, either through the key pad or by speaking...!!!

Other than that my E90 works fine apart from the message reader which is not compatible as my phone has it built in.

Still unable to pair my wifes Motorola V8. My Samsung G600 does connect, but I have never been able to download the phonebook properly. It only copies over a few, if any names. I have deleted the phone completely several times, but this does not help. What happens when I download updates?
Help!
