The only limitation with all of the phones above is that the phone book does not transfer. I believe you can do one contact at a time but what's the point. The one thing I can say is that the Lexus bluetooth system has a completely separate phone book which is good and bad at the same time. The bad part is the issue above with the phone book transfer. The good part is that if you enter all of your important contacts or at least the one's that you will need in the car, you won't need to transfer the phone book. They are in there regardless of what phone you are using.

All of the above phones connect automatically and seamlessly. I have read that some of the Sony Ericsson phones allow complete phone book transfers.

Any more updates on this? I have a Razor and tried to transfer the phone book today. The phone recognized and sent the book and the car acknowledged it, but no book there when I went to check it.

Blackberry 8830 works well as the LG8300. No issues at all.

I have Verizon. Got the LG VX8300 which per Lexus' website has the most compatable features with the Bluetooth system. No issues with phone book transfer.

Lexus Corp stated to me yesterday that the BLACKBERRY is the most desirable device and ranked #1 by them simply for the least hassle free phone. They like ANYTHING BLACKBERRY.

Just typing in what was told to me by a Lexus rep.....

Very cool considering my previous rides never had this.
does your 700p show battery life and siginal strength on the nav screen. My saleman said my 700p would not pair so I bought a Samsung 610. He even tried to pair it and could not. I realize however I should have tried it myself and then I would not have wasted the money. On my 07 TL it only showed signal strength, not battery, just curious if the 350 shows both.
