HELP with Blackjack

Has anyone been able to pair the Samsung Blackjack correctly? I am able to make and recieve calls. However, I am not able to download the phone book, and the SMS, recvieved and dialed buttons are blacked out on the screen.
I have read some people say to go to the COMAND screen to assist with manual phone book entry. How do I get to this area?

Thanks

I have an 07 GL 450 with NAV and yes, the Blackjack pairs, but will not transfer the phone book. If during an individual driving session, you send or receive a call, the received and dialed log will activate and remember, but only until the car is turned off. Also the speaker volume on the Blackjack needs to be up full for the MB to have decent audio.

Many "non certified" phones will pair, but few will transfer the phonebook...

I haven't done this update yet, but it comes directly from Samsung so it should be ok. I have an Argos unit and it's hit-and-miss with Blackjack pairing. About 20% of the time it pairs fine (no phonebook) and the steering wheel controls and buttons on COMAND are usable. The rest of the time it pairs but only allows control from the phone itself. When this happens I can make it pair right by toggling Bluetooth off then back on (FN+B).

The Blackjack has not been tested for hardware and firmware compatibility with the MB Bluetooth systems. There is no indication whether the Windows Mobile fix addressing the phone's existing Bluetooth problems will make it compatible.

I had a guy try to sell me one yesterday. He had no idea at all about the phone's compatibility with any car. Just pushing silicon.
