New phone - less features. Bluetooth protocol problems?

I recently got a new Samsung Eternity from ATT (great phone btw). I switched from an old Nokia 6820. Here is my experience with bluetooth with my old nokia and F90BT:

 

1. Call: Phone book name shown. Number is shown under the name

2. Text Message: Voice announcement "You've got a message". Recipient is always UNKNOWN. TTS voice does not read the actual message.

 

Now with the new phone:

 

1. Call: Only number is shown. That's very uncomfortable, since I don't remember most numbers and rely on names in my phone book.

2. Text Message: NOTHING. No announcement. No TTS. Nada.

 

Do you guys think it's the phone, F90BT bluetooth stack or a bit of both? Should I try re-transferring the phone book to my AVIC again? Anyone experienced similar problems and has any fixes/workarounds?

Different brand phones use completely different bluetooth stacks so the phone is likely the problem
