Anyone have the Blackberry 7250 and get it working with Bluetooth?

This is a Verizon (CDMA) phone.

What is the functionality, if it works?

I believe the 7250 only supports handsfree BT profile...

Are you able to get the hands free part to work? Verizon usually disables all other functions.

I haven't purchased the phone yet...

So it will not pull the address book from the phone to display on Nav screen?

I have heard that the motorolas used to have crippled features but...

Verizon Wireless has announced a settlement in not the blackberry.

there was a class action lawsuit brought and won by people who purchased the Motorola V710 under the impression that its Bluetooth profile allowed a full range of features (it instead just supported a wireless headset).

Try it before you buy it!

No phonebook access. You may have issues with hanging up and picking up calls sometimes using the car BT. Try it before you buy it! I'm leaving Verizon as soon as my contract is up if they do not start releasing phones with full BT features.
