charge while it is connected via bluetooth. I have a blackberry 7105t. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Also has anyone gotten the phonebook to download for a blackberry?

Default just get a plug-in car charger for your phone and bluetooth still works normally...

from my experience with bluetooth on previous bmw's that had cradles in the armrest, I tend to forget the phone in the cradle and often find myself away from my car without my phone. With a plug-in charger with the phone in plain view, there's less of that happening.

Default Not a great chance they make one for a Blackberry either....

Battery life being what it is now, I find little need to charge my phone. I usually leave it in my pocket when it is connected to the bluetooth handsfree kit in my car.

Default Add Blackberry 8700C to the list

Only downloads 500 numbers, perhaps less. On mine, it loads through 'C' but I have 1500 + contacts, most with multiple numbers.

All other functions work.

try and download phonebook entries. I have a 7105t.

Default that list needs lots of updating. it supports much more phones than that with full phonebook d/l

even my relatively new moto PEBL works perfectly with phonebook download and a few more SE phones that aren't listed as well.

Default yeah the BT works fine, but it wont download the phone book. Do you have your phone book

on your phone or stored on your SIM?
