Blackberry 8800 problems

My BB 8700 has worked flawlessly with my Mercedes bluetooth interface module. But .... I just bought the 8800 and it does not download the phone book to the car and the BB voice dialing will not work. Anyone else have issues?

it's not a issue with the phone. It's the limited cabability of the MB system. Mb is releasing a new bluetooth blackberry cradle soon.

Before I bought my 8703e Blackberry, I considered the 8800 and then looked to see if it was on the AWS MB compatibility list, which is was not. I called AWS to see if they were going to test the phone on the Command system and they told me that it may be tested in the near future.

The only problem I have had with the 8703e is that most of the time the dialed number and recieved numbers icons do not show up on the Command screen. Regarding my phone book numbers, I sync the Blackberry with my desktop database and all numbers get loaded with no problems.

Sorry to see you have problems.
