Bluetooth Upgrade

i went ahead and did the update as well even though i didnt have any disconnect issues. i dont notice any issues yet. i wish they would improve their compatibility list though because i still cant pull up my phonebook. i can only get call history. i have an htc touch.

As I understand it, that is a function of whether the phone makes the phonebook available for download. My Razr is not a problem. Have you made a suggestion to HTC? Does the iPhone have the same limitation on phonebook?

I certainly hear your frustration and understand how you feel. On my BB/660 combination the "voice dial" feature works spottily, at best, it will sometimes work and sometimes it will do nothing even after I've repeated myself. I've had no problems with my phonebook and there is no sms messaging (no biggie for me). This will obviously continue to be a "work in progress" for the foreseeable future. Please keep in mind that part of the fault also lies with the different phone mfrs, when compatibility issues exists, and not just with Garmin.

I had a real problem when I upgraded from 2.8 to 3.0, finally decided to go back to 2.8. I haven't had any problems since the downgrade, and am kind of hesitant to upgrade to an unknown when it is working.
Has anyone noticed an actual improvement from 2.8 to 3.1?

It is completely up to the phone manufacturer as far as what they make available via bluetooth. My understanding is that the iPhone has no problem sending the address book via bluetooth. My old phone couldn't but my new one does and it does make life a little easier in that regard.
