Anyone using a Blackberry 8100 (Pearl) with their bluetooth MHI?

My company is switching to AT&T and my Verizon Black Q is history. It worked, but no phone book download. I'm guessing I'll get the same results from a Blackberry? Anyone have experience with these and the bluetooth connection to your E55/63?

I use the pearl, connects, but no address book or steering wheel control. It is also a bit finicky as to whether it actually connects or not.

Ouch. No steering wheel buttons to answer or hang up? You mean you have to hit the answer/hang up on the phone itself?

I have a Blackberry Curve that works fine with my E350. No address book, but I can hang up and answer from the steering wheel.

Figured that. Voice command still works for some functions as well. I guess if you have a smart phone, none of them will give full voice command and phone book download, but that's OK, thanks.

+1 on the Curve 8300 being fully integrated with my BT module - the only thing for me is the address book on board fills up before my phone book is completely downloaded.

I figured that was the reason the Q wouldn't download any contacts, just not enough memory to hold 600+ entries. If it takes any at all, that will be an improvement, thanks. Black Pearl it is.
