Android 2.2 Phone Issues

I have a Nexus One with Android 2.2 installed. I guess Android bars BT initiated calls (didn't know this when I bought it if there is a work around please post), but I was expecting to import contacts for easy GPS use. I've not tried USB import. All around BT seems like a 'rip off' feature with Android, all I can do is send audio out on a MP3.

 

Out of the box, the iPod is the way to go. Was looking to play Pandora and AT&T capped data rates so that was why I went with the Nexus. Wish the head unit had some Android features. I never saw Musicsphere as much of an iPod incentive and now seems to be Vaporware anyway.

 

Any Android phone users out there with BT hints or work arounds?

go to the market and get "bluetooth file transfer"

 

there is an option in there to enable it. i just transfered my phone book via my nexus one on 2.2 this way.

I got the contacts to synch from the Nexus One. Looks like the BT-initiated calls from the X920 are working. But, how do we navigate to a "contact" ??? Some of the implementation here is so silly - I see discussion on converting contacts to POI and also with AVIC feeds. WHY??? Can't we just have an option to navigate to the contact rather than just call? Did I miss something? I thought the X920 repaired some of these issues found in older models.
