Blackberry Storm integration with Bluetooth puck?
Does anybody have the Blackberry Storm phone yet and if so, does it integrate with the Bluetooth puck? I'd like to get the phone, but only if it will work with the puck.

It should integrate. My Bold integrates with my Bluetec via the puck. The phone also connects to the new GL, SL.
the Storm should support the Handsfree profile and you should even be able to transfer the contacts from the Storm to the car.
Good Luck. let me know how you like the phone, I personally didn't like it.

Also, it took me forever to get anything done on it. Its slow, the graphics lag, and the accelerometer responds slowly. I am sure much of this will be addressed with software revisions. Also, no Wi-Fi, GPS is locked to crappy *** VZW Navigator. Interational roaming is also a big no no with Verizon, so you are forced to pay their asinine roaming fees.
Its a good phone, just not up to par with my Bold IMO.

The screen was a big dissapointment, it also was quite hard for me to type on. The click screen idea is pretty cool, just needs to be developed further.

Of course, I'm not bothering with stuff like email and such just now. Might in the future. Dunno.

Best phone I've ever had. To keep it on topic, yes it works with MB Bluetooth.

And I thought I was the only one with all these decisions I have decided to stick with a BB for work. They just can't be beat for all the email/calendar use I put them through. For me it's either an iPhone 3G or G1 (soon). Just need to test drive the G1 before I decide.

Yes, please keep us posted. I'm on a wait list for the Storm with a ship date of Dec 15. I've heard that the software is not quite ready for prime time and the device is a bit sluggish. I'd be interested in hearing your impressions.

I was able to get my greasy fingers on one of those the other day. It's a very nice phone, don't get me wrong, but I don't think the exterior design is up to par. The Android OS is pretty cool though.

OK, sorry I've been playing.
I can tell you that the Storm hooked up and paired with the GL without an incident. So no worries there.
I've had it for essentially 24 hours now and I am favorably impressed. It does seem a little sluggish at times, not necessarily all the time when switching between menus and going from vertical to horizontal. I wouldn't say I'm annoyed by it, but I did notice it.
There is a lot to learn about this phone. I have corporate e-mail working now with the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server), have synced my calendar to Lotus Notes (hey, I work for IBM, you don't expect outlook to you), have synced my Contact list from Outlook (long story here, but I migrated my Razr2 to Outlook and then from Outlook to the Storm.
The Verizon network here has already proven itself to be much more reliable and stronger. I'm in my basement right now and getting connected where with AT&T I had no chance of that.
NET: The first 24 hours have been good for me.
