I'm going to try to call my saleman, he's vietnamese also, to see what he can do. Oh, here's a tip, try to negotiate on the last day of the month, close to the end of that day. You will get a good deal.

In response to your bluetooth question, I have a samsung D-600 (which is just a newer version of your phone), and the bluetooth pairing works fine. It just takes a little getting used to. Some functions may not work (for me, the signal indicator and the battery life doesn't show up on the nav screen...but it's not a big problem for me). Actually, does the battery life/signal indicator work for anyone?

edit- my mistake that dealership is the one in grapevine. I did not look at the pictures to reference. Sorry! But yes I tried to deal with Brandon Chung and he was very nice but would not discount from MSRP.

If you are looking to get anything off of MSRP in Texas......tough luck right now. I don't see the dealers coming off of MSRP anytime soon either.
We bought ours from Sewell in Ft. Worth (looks like some of your pictures are from there). If you are looking for a great salesman I can help....but you'll still be paying MSRP in Texas. PM me if you need any help.
If you are looking for only 1000 off I personally think you are wasting your time. It will cost you right at that to buy it out of state and have the car brought here. Just my 2 cents.
This was the first car we've ever paid MSRP for that I can remember....I know it hurts. However, I think the car certainly is worth it.

Good luck on getting a discount, you can find one but its gonna be a hard one. I work for a Toyota/Lexus dealership and even they won't give me a discount. And the last day of the month deal, right timing is the key. You have to catch them when they are one or two units away from hitting their numbers.

Best thing to do is look around, ask different dealerships, and just tell the salesman how much you're willing to spend. They'll either bend or won't, but at least you get your demands understood.
Hey thanks for describing my car. You CANT find my car anywhere. I am getting a discount because I am waiting forever for it. If he wants the car NOW he just might have to pay.

My battery/signal strength works great. I do not have your phone however. I have the Razr.
Transfering my phone book didnt not work and I had to manually put all my numbers in. Only took like 20 numbers but still was pretty annoying
