Cingular Bluetooth Car Compatibility

I have pretty much had it with Verizon on their high-end phones not working with factory car kits.

Does Cingular publish a Bluetooth® Car Kit/Accessory Support Matrix like Verizon does on this page:

Or does any Cingular cell phone work with any regular car kit?

In the two and a half years that I have been selling cingular phones I have never had a customer come back to tell me that his/her phone could not pair with their car. Never.

So there is no compatibility chart needed, correct? Pick any phone and it will have interoperability with all of the BT features on the car, including phonebook transfer?

How about pictures? Can you push pictures to other BT devices, including the phones without pushing them over the network for a fee?

Good to see you on this side of the forum.

The only phone with any limitations on BT that I have found is the LG CG300. I do not think it is crippled, I just think it is not designed by LG for any profile except HF. At least with GSM, LG has been very late in bringing BT to the USA. This handset was their first.

Anything else and you should be fine. Good luck.

With everyone one I have used so far except the LG CG300. Whatever the capabilities are as specified with the manufacturer regarding BT, they aren't changed or toned down by Cingular request.
