Bluetooth compatability

I have read here that the iPhone and Motorola razrs work well with the Bluetooth module. Has anybody had luck with any other phones such as the Nokia n95, or the LG Voyageur or Venus?
Thanks for the info.

I have tried the Nokia n95 and that phone is flaky, and the address book doesn't sync with the MB kit like "supported" phones do; The N95 was the worst Nokia phone I ever owned.

I now use a Blackberry, and aside from the address book not linking, it works fine (minus the standard bluetooth issue in the MB of the puck not turning off, and you have to wait for the puck to power down, or be out of range for the phone to disengage the kit)

I run a Nokia N95 and it works perfectly with the kit. My two directors at work use N95's in their CLS's and they work perfectly too. The phonebook downloads and everything works fine, BTW the N95 has been listed as a supported phone in Europe for well over six months.

Where do you find the supported phone list for Europe?

I'm just curious to see what other phones they list as supported, because the US list is quite short, but I couldn't seem to find it. Thanks

the MB Blue-tooth aside, the N95 had a habit of working fine, then locking up requiring the battery to be removed at least 2 times per month; I have 2 of these N95 and both did the same thing; I tried the firmware upgrades and no improvement; However I did stop using hte phone about 6 months ago as it was unusable for my business the way it was and switched to a Blackerry (which I also carried at the time anyway).

If you are seeing better performance, I will try power that phone up and see what happens; There also appears to be a number of variants on the n95 - so possible your variant works better than the one I had. The firmware comes out for those in waves, and I think there was at least 4 variants last I looked;

LG Voyageur from Verizon

I'm happy to report that the LG Voyageur from Verizon works perfectly. Phone book downloads, etc. Only had it a day, but it seems to be a great phone.
