Bluetooth and BMW compatibility

BMW only recommends the E815 as a compatible Bluetooth phone with the cars communication system. I was wondering if anyone has had success with any other Bluetooth Verizon phone and a BMW. I really don't like the E815 and I am looking for other options. Thanks

Verizon Bluetooth Phones, Infiniti M35 and Palm Tungsten E2

I am approaching the 2-year point for my phone and have recently leased an Infiniti M35 and bought a Palm Tungsten E2. Both of these are Bluetooth enabled. The phone must work with the Infiniti and I would like it to work with both, if possible. For a variety of reasons I do not wish to change carriers, but the only phone listed by both as compatible is the Motorola RAZR. Having read this forum I was considering waiting for VZW to release it, but am tempted by the Samsung A970, though I'm not even certain it will work with the car, let alone the Palm. Does anyone else have Bluetooth experience and can help me with this dilemma?

LG8100 or LG9800???

I need help! I'm on the second day of my trial period with the 9800. It took an hour in the store to decide between the two ((8100 or 9800))! Tell me what I will hate about the 9800 or the 8100 and what I will love about each one. They have both what I'm looking for so I just need some opinions and what I'm getting myself into with one or the other. User reviews have gone both ways... any insight???
Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ˜

3rd Quarter Results: Predictions for All Major Carriers...

Here are Merrill Lynch's latest forecasts for net customer adds for the soon-to-be-reported 3rd Quarter:

National Cariers

* Verizon Wireless: 1.95 million customers net added

* Sprint-Nextel: 1.3 million

* Cingular: 900k

* T-Mobile: 800k


Regionals:

* Alltel (CDMA): 117k customers added (net)

* U.S. Cellular (CDMA): 110k

* Suncom (GSM): -5k (net customers lost)

* Cincinnati Bell (GSM): -3k (net customer loss)


Anyone think those numbers will be far off? I myself have a hard time believeing VZW will more than DOUBLE Cingy in net adds, but they will probably come close. Should be interesting when everyone reports over the next couple of weeks. ๐Ÿ™‚

razr for vzw

you know i really feel sorry for all you VZW sheep because the best thing you have to look forward to is the RAZR, hate to burst your bubble but the phone is lacking in a lot of areas for the price, and here in cingular world we have nicknamed it "the coaster phone".. because when closed on a table it looks like you should set a drink on it and not make a call with is.. maybe one day VZW will get with the times, deploy a modern network so that modern handsets can be sold to its followers.. till then we will raise the bar!

I think I know way the delay for Nokia 6256i

Well I have this phone for Alltel which is the Nokia 6255i. I never really used the phone as I am more comfortable with my 710. Well I just now started getting into playing with it and noticed somethings Verizon will not like. Nokia left this phone total open, BT with OBEX, IR. Well I just purchased a 1 gig MMC card and have been watching my movies and listening to my music on this thing. There was a rumor you could only access 512mb of the 1 gig card but thats untrue, you have access to all 1 gig of the memory. Well what Verizon will not like is that I found that you can make full mp3, AAC songs into ringtones. Its pretty nice now to make your own ringtone as there is nothing to do but drag the whole song over to the card and set as ringer....

Question on BT headsets available through Verizon

I see the headsets available through Verizon that are posted on verizonwireless.com, but does anyone, employee or otherwise, know ALL the BT headsets available directly from Verizon? I thought there were more than that and I thought I had seen a Plantronics behind the ear one w/ eargel and extended mic awhile back. Could you please list ALL BT headsets I could get directly from Verizon? I've called CS, but they keep telling me about the handsets they have that have BT or just plain not getting what I am asking. I didn't think it was such a difficult question. Anyway, if anyone could tell me I would love you for it!
Thanks in advance,
Mary

Qualcomm screwed you guys

That company unleashes HSDPA for W-CDMA but nothing for CDMA2000 based operaters to use to compete.

Verizon can keep the advantage up for the next few years based on coverage but eventually, something will have to be done about technology limitations.

I think it's time for Verizon to play hardball with Qualcomm.

Anyone know anything about how Verizon will answer HSDPA when it becomes a serious threat in the future??
