Bluetooth Phone System ~ Blackberry Compatibility?
Notice in the D4 brochure that the Bluetooth phone system feature has (Nokia) by the side of it.
My wife and I both use Blackberry's and wondered if there is any problem with communication with these phones?
Anyone use a Blackberry with the D4 Bluetooth system and if so, I wondered particualarly whether the Blackberry Phone Book comes across for display?
Thanks.2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey

good question. I needed to download some bluetooth software from BB website to get it working with my volvo
Use a blackberry on a D3, no real issues though address book at over 2000 entries does not transfer across. The car is big however that I am finding of late that if doing a long drive now back to plugging an ear piece in and using that. Better overall listening experience and the steering wheel controls still work.

My wife has a Cooper S and the Bluetooth system in that works fine with Blackberry's but don't know if it is similar/same as that used by LR.2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey

So does any of the Phone Book entries transfer across?
Our Phone Books have nowhere as many entries as yours.2015 D4 HSE in Corris Grey

My Blackberry bold works fine and displays the phone book. When someone rings me it only displays the number if the entries are stored in the +447xxxxxxxxx format (as all mine are). They need to be stored as 07xxxxxxxxx to display the name for incoming calls.

Basically for BB Curve 8900 updating to latest software 5.0.0.411 gets most things working just fine.
Good luck, Mike

Thankyou chaps.
Feel more at ease now that when I get my D4, our phones will work for us.
