When I go to the phone screen, on the bottom, "Text Messages" box appears to the left of "Call List". I don't get e-mails, just text messages and I use a Blackberry. I also think I have Command 4.5 since I see the globe (for Sirius Weather) and the color dash.

I think most devices cannot "push" the text message via blue-tooth. I'm fairly certain the Iphone cannot do this, most HTC phones I don't think can either.
As for hanging up and drive - I'm pretty busy and would imagine quite a few MB owners are also. I really like the fact that this car has a quiet cabin so I can have conference calls while driving. One of the perks of driving a MB sedan IMO...

Interesting. I have the new Command 4.5 and I do not see Text Messages on the phone screen. Might be because I am using an iPhone and its not supported. I will try to pair my BB or Andriod and test it that way. Maybe with a supported device it will show.

This feature is only supported by NTG4.5. The NTG 4 system cannot do this. Also to the OP, the Ford may have been able to do this first but there are many more things this car does better than a Ford (for the record I love their trucks and think their cars are headed in the right direction but lets be honest... at the end of the day its not an MB).

If you are interested in listening to your messages (emails), you can buy a piece of hardware from Ilane.com. I'm using it for almost a year and it is fantastic.

email? that's awesome.......
you people have obviously never killed anyone with your car before....
I can't believe how DUMB people look when the phone is in use......this
dumb blank stare......fighting to keep control, barely able to make that right hand turn....lol
to afraid to not answer the phone......don't want to miss that socializing huh?
how much is your phone anyway? is it nicer than your frieinds? is it expensive? a status symbol maybe? do you have a house phone too??? do you have a phone just like your frineds? lol
if someone calls you, do you drop everything you're doing?
Can people get a hold of you 24 hours a day? seven days a week?
man, that would be annoying........
we need more distractions huh?

LOL!!! Makes me sick to my stomach when I see people with a phone on their ear in traffic. AT LEAST get yourself a handsfree kit!! I also see people doing this who have BT in their car but are too stupid to know they have that feature or how to hook it up.

So if you see me with a phone on my ear, it's not because I'm too stupid to hook it up...it's because the mercedes comand (or verizon iphone 4 software) programmers are too stupid to code things so they work.

I have my iphone 4 linked with comand 4.5 and most of the time it works correctly. However at times, the phone will ring and I answer it (button on steering wheel) and there's no voice. If I pick up the phone, the voice is on the phone, not the built in bluetooth. Outgoing calls seem to always work correctly...it's just incoming calls that sometimes go wacky.
So if you see me with a phone on my ear, it's not because I'm too stupid to hook it up...it's because the mercedes comand (or verizon iphone 4 software) programmers are too stupid to code things so they work.

There is NO EXCUSE to drive and talk on a hand held phone. And yes, you are stupid if you do.
