Searched the web and discovered that I'm not alone. Not sure why Nokia would manufacture a phone that isn't compatible with all car bluetooth packages - that's what standards are for. A few discussion groups have also indicated that Verizon may have something to do with it, who knows. A big miss. Was able to get my iPhone to pair with my car without any issues Rating: 1 / 5 The phone doesn’t pair with my 2008 Lexus LS460’s bluetooth handsfree package.

Also the menu system is not easy to use - to navigate to another screen within the same category requires you to back out all the way to the main screen, then hit menu again and choose your next menu item.

Which amounted to the LG choloclate3, LG8360 Motorola W755. Then I found Digital voice in the Samsung Renown which had lousy audio quality. Then Today I picked up the Intrigue. <br /> <br />I actually tested this phone out for about an hour before I committed to it. It sounded much better than the Samsung but not quite os good as the LG 8300 on hand however I was willing to give it a try because I really want visual voice mail. I was excited I actaully found a phone with some features that had nice voice quality and features. <br /> <br />My dreams were broken. When I called someone while traviling about 15 miles on the phone. His voice was either too loud (and my volume was at it's lowest) or it was low the way I wanted it. I returned it to the store and the tech was able to reproduce the problem. I got another phone from another store and tested it out of the phone in the store for about an hour and it was strange inside the store the other party was lower (not touching the volume button) and when I went outside the other party was too loud for me to keep my ear to the phone. <br /> <br />I have a feeling even though it's not memtioned that Nokia trys to adjusst the phone volume acording the the backgroud noise but does a lousy job of that. ( this is not a fact but just a thought) Well it's back to my LG VX 8300 <br /> <br />WHY WHY WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MAKE A PHONE THAT HAS THE FEATURES AND HAS GOOD SOUND QUALIITY AND LET ME ADJUST THE VOLUME THE OLD AND IS THAT IS A FLIP PHONE i DON'T NEED A PHONE THAT PLAYS MUSIC THATS WHAT i HAVE A STEREO FOR.

I like its sleekness and smooth finish. However, the downside is it shows horrible fingerprints on the outside and inside surfaces. <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 I have had this phone for about a month.
