iPhone: Yes, I Know It Pairs...But Can It Send Contacts?

So, I've successfully paired my iPhone to my new G (meaning, I can talk through the G's speakers), but can you transfer contacts/numbers? I'm having immense difficulty doing so, in fact, I don't even think it's possible. If you've been able to do so, pleeeease walk me through a step-by-step process. I really don't want to do this manually like I had to do from my old mobile to the iPhone.

Thanks!

I do not have an iPhone, but on my BB I had to send the contacts from the phone to the car before I could sync the contacts.

Another possible solution, if you cannot send contacts, is to buy a cheap older phone, I have an old SE T68i ($5 on ebay). I then synced the T68 with my wifes RAZR and then used the T68i to synch her contacts with her Acura MDX. I used our iMac to sync the 2 phones.

Not sure if that proceedure would work since the G keeps a separate phone book for each paired phone. I guess that if you called them the same name it might work, but I doubt it.

yep, i don't think that solution would work. i had all of my contacts downloaded from my other phone, then when i paired the iPhone, none of them showed up at all.

Well, the G35 has the capability to receive contact information from certain phones. Likewise, the iPhone can theoretically upload contact information to some cars. The iPhone's user guide (page 39) says:

"In some cases, your contacts list transfers to the car kit and you can start a call by looking up a contact on the car kit’s display."

However, it's not clear if the iPhone can actually send contact information to the G35.

A friend of mine has the same problem in transfering contacts to the iphone. He doesn't believe it's possible either.

If you can send pic/text to another phone using bluetooth then you can do the same way to your G. I send pics to other phones with friends and family and I don't have any problem using those phones to send contact to my G. It must be very easy. If I have iphone, I can tell.

bluetooth is very limited on the iphone, you cant even send pics or contacts from it to other bluetooth enabled phones. i'm hoping apple fixes this soon via a software update. so it looks like we're out of luck.
