Windows Mobile 6 BT pairing

e90fanatic · 05-29-2007, 11:29 AM

Hey guys...was planning to switch from blackberry to WM6. anybody have any experience with pairing the WM6 to the car? i had WM5 before and the address book did not sync. Hopefully WM6 fixed that issue?

I thought phonebook can be synchronized, but can you really synchronize addressbook?

it doesn't really "sync"...but it directly access your phone's address book. I know that many phones were incompatible with the BT system on our cars..and Windows Mobile 5 was only capable of dialing and receiving calls but could not access the address book.

That is not true; at least not in my case. My 545 (and soon to be redelivered 335) has full visibility into my WM5 T-Mobile SDA's contact list, with multiple phone numbers per contact showing up as "{name} (M|H|W)".

Now, I don't have access to all of the mailing address or email address info for all of the contacts, but the phone numbers are all there and selectable from the vehicle.

Windows Mobile 5 on an SPV(HTC) C600 works for me. It also displays the signal strengh with a little add on piece of software.
