Default Best bluetooth phone...

My audi dealer told me that Verizon does not work as well as cingular in the RS4. Anyone have experience with this? I wanted to get the new Verizon Q phone. Does anyone have this? How does it and other phones work?

Thanks

Default I have a Verizon Motorolla 815 phone. The phone sucks, but the bluetooth part works well

Do you have a link to the "Q" phone? I don't even know what it looks like.

Default Bluetooth has NOTHING to do with the carrier

Get the Q, personally I think it is great for what it is but for a true device there are better options for more money.

Your dealer probably gets a Cingular kick back, or the sales guys.

The Q phone book probably won't work as well as you would like, but they never do.

Default The E815 is a great phone!

The Moto E815 is better at nearly everything that a phone should do. Fantastic reception and excellent clarity. Now if you use any phone as a camera, then I understand (and feel sorry for you).

Default Well, I'm on my 7th replacement and this one does the same thing all the other ones did

Drops calls, turns off and reboots for no reason, and yes, does take crappy pictures. Anyway, I just saw that the "Q" phone is made by Motorolla. I think I am going to try a different brand for my next phone.

Default From what I have read - Verizon disables some of the bluetooth features that make it hard to work

with Audi Bluetooth. Cingular phones have not had that issue.
