Bluetooth w/ Blackberry
I find that with my BB 7290 I can receve BT calls no problem, yet when I place a call from the phone it switches BACK to handset and then I have to switch BACK to BT again. Seems like an unecessary step. Is this a HSF issue or a BB issue?

I've seen a similar issue with my 7290 as well, just haven't played with it much at all yet. I think you may have to change the BB Bluetooth settings. I just looked at the Options->Bluetooth on the handheld. You'll see "HandsFreeLink TM", click the scroll button and select Options. By default Discoverable is set to No. Change that to Yes and see if it helps HFL connect automatically. I also went to "Device Properties" and changed "Trusted" to Yes (it was defaulting to No).
I just changed my settings and will check to see if it works in the car tonight (car's at home right now)...

If I place the car is dialing this isn't a problem of course, but then I don't have access to my BB address book either.
So what am I doing wrong??

I have to click the wheel and select "Activate Handsfree TM" every time.

No issues with my 7290 running Cingular's latest software.
I would suggest deleting the pair from the phone, update the software, and repair. Also make sure it is a trusted device after pairing as mentioned above.
