New Internet based Command System
I stumbled across this while searching for compatible Bluetooth phones. I don't know about anyone else's experience, but in mine there are so few fully compatible phones. Most shown at wireless4mb.com are not even in production anymore. Anyway, this new Command system looks very impressive.

Compatibility is not a binary value, I have not heard about a BT capable phone that would not work with the MB system, excluding phone book transfer where some models do have limitations. Still the number of phones that also support phone book transfer is a lot larger than shown at AWS site, those are the ones they have been able to check in detail and can be guaranteed to work while many others, if not most others also work fine.

You are correct. I should have been more specific regarding compatibility. The specific issue as you noted is not being able to access the full functionality of the phone through Command. My current phone, Motorola E815 fully functions through Command including phone book, calls sent and calls received. This evening I tried the LG EnV. The phone worked but the other functionalities did not, including not being able to hang up or answer using the steering wheel controls. The keypad worked to initially dial the call but it became non-functional when calling voice mail and trying to type in access codes. Therefore, it would be nice to know which phones are fully functional to eliminate the need of buying and returning phones.
