Bluetooth Adapter Confusion

I just picked up a new S550. All is well except for the Bluetooth adapter. It's mind boggling. I have two phones--an AT&T Blackberry Curve and a Motorola Razr2 from Verizon. The BB pairs fine and the address book is transferred. But the spped dials are confusing. It seems that there is no way to alter them. They are assigned in whatever order the names appear on the phone. Can anyone figure this out?

On the Razr2, it won't pair. If I try from the phone and enter the code, it says that it is not valid. If I try from the car side, it looks like it pairs but won't connect at all. Does anyone have this figured out?

Thanks.

I too have an AT&T BB Curve 8310 paired to my E63, which uses the same BT module insert as the W221 S550.

My experience is that the speed dial is not changeable and the BT module in the car actually has a memory of what the last received and dialed numbers were in the car - but this is not transferred from the device so they hold two DIFFERENT recently dialed and received call lists.

FWIW, the speed dial issue does not bother me too much since I only have to hold the button programmed on the BB device for 3 secs and the dialing starts.

Good luck resolving your issues.
