OK. So, in another thread I stated that I'm having a problem with my Treo 650 and the G35x hanging up on people.

I'm due for a new phone and I'm wondering if anyone out there has a Blackberry 8830 and uses it in their G35 with Navi. If you have this combo . . .

How has it worked?

Have you tested call waiting?

 

Wife has the 8830 and has used it in our 07 G35S w/Nav. Pairs fine, calls seem fine, have not tested call waiting.

 

If there's any way you could take 10 seconds to test it when you get home I would REALLY appreciate it.

I need to be able to use my phone in the car for work and my current phone is problematic.

 

I have the 8830, and it works fine. I have used call waiting and it has worked fine. Granted...this is my work phone...so I don't use it as much as I have it as a secondary phone on my Bluetooth. But the times I have used it I have never had a problem.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

I think I'll order one after I try it out at a local Verizon store. I also need to talk to the tech guy at work about setting it up to get my email.

 

I have the 8830 and an 07 G35X. Works great in all aspects and I am on the phone in my car all day. The only problem with the phone itself is that the ringer is not loud enough when you use the phone outside the car. Unless the phone is on vibrate and in my pocket, I miss calls sometimes. If you get the phone, put the ring tone on "Calypso" it is the loudest ring tone.

I went from a treo 650 also and had the same problems that you are having. You will be amazed at how much better the 8830 is with your cars bluetooth. It even shows your phones signal strength and allows you to make calls on it through the voice command. Bith by dialing numbers and by voice tags.

I am convinced you will be very happy with it.

 

That is so strange about the ringer volume...because mine is crazy loud. I have it on a progressive ring where it starts low and gets louder, and I have it set on the low volume version of the tone because the loud version is just too loud.

So strange...must be those oh so slight differences in area manufactured or something.

 

Verizon is horrible. No OBEX profile supported, so you have to manually input your entire phone book. Thanks alot, Verizon.

 

i have one. works great. with g35 or without. great phone.

as for volume, to the other poster, jsut put it on LOUDEST setting of a good ring tone. you can adjust the ring volume

 

That's odd . . . I can use the voice tags and see signal strength already with my 650. I seem to have full functionality with the phone via Bluetooth. The only problem is call waiting. It hangs up on everyone when I get call waiting.

Otherwise, I imported my phone book with no problem and did pretty much everything else the Bluetooth link is capable of.
