I have successfully paired the two devices and have had very satisying results with normal calls. My question is about Phone Book Transfer. When I initiate the procedure on the NAV screen, it prompts me to "send phone book from the phone." I can't find anywhere in the Blackberry docs where it would allow you to "send the phone book." Any ideas?

Additionally, it appears the only way to register new numbers in the GS's phone book is by import from the cell phone via phone book transfer, or by grabbing them from the call log. Is there a way to assign a name to a number you have grabbed from the log?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same phone and unfortunately, none of the blackberry series have the ability to send or receive contacts wirelessly.

So then there is no way to add people to the GS phone book unless they appear in your call log? That sux.

I agree. I don't know why RIM doesn't believe anyone needs that functionality. I got around it because I don't use the phone functionality of my 7100. I carry a Motorola Razr for making calls and that does sync with the GS -- though only one entry at a time. You can't send your entire phonebook to the GS with the Motorolas it seems. I also have an old Sony Ericsson T610 that will sync phonebooks but only the first phone number for each contact -- if you have multiple phone numbers per name, you are SOL.

In short, the phonebook feature of the GS pretty much sucks in general...

yeah im having the same issue with my new LG phone from verizon. i need to get that phone book transfered and figure out how to vocally receive and send calls. anyone out there know how to use the voice command feature to send or receive calls? i couldnt find the instructions in any of the booklets.

btw its a 2006 gs430.

you cannot do voice commands for phone dialing thru the BT system, even if your phone is capable of doing it. which really, really, really, sucks! even the basic BT headsets allow this capability to allow for total handsfree driving, but for some reason the GS does not.

so this is one of those "shoulda bought an e55" moments...

oh well, ill take the money i saved and buy a different bt mic i guess.
