Anyone use this phone. Is there a list of phones that you can use? Why won't it work with ANY bluetooth phone??

Here's why...
The blue tooth standard calls for several profiles. The most common profile is the headset profile, to be used for blue tooth wireless headsets.
Cars require a phone to support the "Hands-Free profile", and many phones don't support that profile. It's a very well known issue.
I have the Sony Ericsson p900 phone that I paid $800 for last year. Doesn't work. Lucky for me, ahem, the p910 DOES (and I've tried it in my A6 so I can say it does).
The tough thing is finding out whether a phone supports the blue tooth hands free profile BEFORE we buy the phone, and it's not always very clear.

That dealer is clueless. My i730 works great, but cannot import my address book. All other functions work flawlessly.
