blackberry 8320 & MB Bluetooth
I've spent the last few days trying to pair the Blackberry 8320 'Curve' and my C220CDI (W204). And - I've succeeded. I'm posting this because I want to share this with whoever else may be experiencing problems. Not even Mobilo Life could help.
1. In system settings - select bluetooth.
2. Select activate bluetooth.
3. Select phone list/telephone list.
4. DO NOT select UPDATE.
5. Select OPTIONS direct to the RIGHT of UPDATE. Note - my OPTIONS wasn't selectable. The ONLY way to select this was to RESET all of my COMAND settings. If reset, now select OPTIONS.
6. Select external authorization.
7. Switch to your 8320.
8. Add Device (make sure your phone is discoverable).
9. The Curve will now find MB Bluetooth.
10. COMAND will then ask you to authorise your phone. Select YES and input a random 4 digit passkey - I recommend 0000. Do not input 62872 as this is the code that should be selected if you have purchased the MB Cradle at an incredible £350 ($600) (however, it should still work if you choose this number).
11. Your phone will then ask you to follow a similar process. Again, make sure that you input the SAME passkey (i.e. 0000).
12. A few more simple steps to follow - but it should be self explanatory.
13. Good luck!
This took me 3 days, 2 calls (1 to my dealer and 1 to MB Mobilo Life), emails to previous posters on numerous forums and hours and hours of web surfing to begin to work out the process. The KEY is to RESET the system to enable the selection of the OPTIONS to enable external authorization.
I wish you the best of luck - but if you follow these instructions luck won't need to come into it!

UPDATE
Just found these instructions for the 8300 and are very similar to the solution that I discovered.

This instructions connected your bluetooth alright...but were you able to sync up your call lists from BB to W204 ?
I have a BB8830 and discovered this feature of push object profile is not support i.e. annot not sync up address book.
This is a bit inconvenience as either I have to dial individual digit or use the speed dial on the BB,
If you find out any tricks to fix this, please keep us posted.
