Default Bluetooth and Blackberry Curve - works, but BB freezes sometimes

I have a Blackberry Curve 8330 (Sprint) and 2009 IS250 (nav, no ML)

I have successfully paired it. I have successfully transferred phone book and all that good stuff. It works as advertised for my hands free use. However, when I turn off the car. I'd say more often than not, my Blackberry is unusable more often than not for a few minutes. I hit all the buttons and it is unresponsive (screen remains black). If the LED indicates I have a new notification, that continues to blink. It eventually unfreezes itself.

Anyone experience the same, and is there a workaround?

Thanks

have you updated the software to the latest version for the phone? i've notice that it takes a couple minutes for the blue tooth to disconnect or until I'm far away enough from the car.

Never had this problem before. I have a BB Curve from At&t.

However, I have had same issue as other members when it takes about a minute or so for the BB to disconnect from the hands free. Other than that, everything has worked well.

I would suggest maybe deleting the phone from the car's memory and re-synching it again. Hope it works out for you. Good luck.

Are you on Blackberry OS 4.5 (must use IE for site to work)? I upgraded the wife's 8330 Curve and it does not have these issues at all. My 8900 on OS 4.6 does not have these issues either.

I'm syncing my curve with is350 and works great. Don't have your issue. Might be the phone
