zakpeters said:I am wondering the same thing about using my Blackberry 7250 with the Z1...anyone tried this yet or find any resources that speak to this? I will be getting my entire package (Z1 with iPod, bluetooth, and XM radio modules, and the rear-camera) installed into my 06 Trailblazer SS in the next couple of weeks (Z1 was just released finally in Canada)....PLUS my order for Steve's Z1 headlight-flashing unit...should be a great overall a/v experience. Anything on bluetooth Z1 and blackberry...let me know. Thanks
It depends on what phone company you are with. RIM releases new software fairly quickly but ultimately it's up to the phone company to release it since they have to support the new software.
Software releas 4.1 (I think it's 4.1 anyway) fully unlocks bluetooth features such as phone book transfer. This was initially left out for security reasons but I guess RIM realized people want this and added it in 4.1. But companies like Cingular have still not released 4.1 to the public for their BB badged phones.
Anyway, I set a BB up for a friend of mine in his lexus. The lexus has no option to manually add phone #'s so I put his phone #'s in my RAZR, transferred them to his car then paired his BB to the car. The BB does the handsfree thing fine it just seems to be limited on the phone book transfers without 4.1. If you have a friend on the same phone company with a sim card phone you can do what I mentioned above to transfer your phonebook if 4.1 isn't available to you yet.
