Motorola V3 RAZR. Use the voice dial all the time and I'm impressed with how well it works.

Cingular 8125. (made by HTC)

it works fairly well. Now and then I get people saying I sound bad on the other end. Usually they're on a cell phone too.

Blackberry 8700c (mine), Motorola L7 (hers).

Hers works flawlessly, I cant seem to initiate calls on mine. Probably a BES policy set by our admins.

BB 8700C on Cingular. Works great. I wish Acura made the address book on the BB available. That would be incredible. The "transfer" feature works but blows.

Verizon phone... Motorola V710... Shows everything. Even the data link works (with a bit of tweaking and tips that I found on here somewhere)!

I just got the Sanyo SCP-6600 "Katana" from Sprint. Works great and shows signal strength, etc. something my old LG PM-325 did not.

Is that a Power Vision phone, or just a Vision phone?

I too have the 8125. It followed the 2125. I was told by EVERYBODY that I sounded awful using either phone. I finally got my service advisor to change out the microphones with new ones (he told me there are 2 microphones - I did not know that). Well since the change - or whatever they did - I have not had one single complaint. When I ask, everyone says it sounds fine. So it was either the microphone swap, or the ROM upgrade for the 8125. Either way, its nice to be able to use the HFL again.

rexorg, are you able to hangup your sanyo katana using the hfl buttons on the steering wheel? i've been using the samsung a900 since it first came out in december 2005 for sprint and am not able to hangup using the hfl buttons. however, if the person i am speaking with on the other line hangs up first, then the call is disconnected. thus, this is only a problem when i call someone and get their voicemail, i have to manually hangup using the cellphone keypad.

Okay, I'm planning to pick up a different phone for the RL (right now I've just got a basic PM-325 LG that stays in the car). I'm looking at either the Blackberry 7130e or the SCP-6600 "Katana". I do realize the difference in functionality between the two phones as far as personal use goes. However, I'm curious as to their interaction with the RL. What else will I see? Right now the LG doesn't do anything other than make phone calls and receive them (and shows caller ID). Will either or both of these other two do more? Can I voice call by name rather than number or any other info show up on the MID? Both these phones show they are still being evaluated by Acura so they don't have details on the site. Any info would be appreciated.

Can't speak for the phones, but the RL's voice dial is independant of the phone.

With the Blackberry you will get battery & signal meter. No address book access.

Well, I know you voice dial the number. That works just fine. But I also thought the feature was available to dial by name. I can do that with my handset but not from the car to the handset... Seems like I remember seeing a commercial where folks were able to do that tho...

Press the button to open the link to the phone.

Say...

"phone book"
"store"

It then asks you for the name (i.e. "home"), then it asks you for the number.

After you store it, instead of voice dialing the number, you just say, "call Home".

I think that's the sequence of commands, if not, just say "help" and it'll walk you through it.

I have several numbers setup that way, even my work voice mail box. I even stored the key sequences to log in stored as LOGIN VOICE MAIL.

I just say... "Call VOICE MAIL WORK", after it connects, I say Send LOGIN VOICE MAIL.

Pretty cool.

HAHA, yeah, I was just going to post RTFM!!! I went ahead and picked up the Katana yesterday evening and decided to link it up this morning. I guess I linked the first one up with the dealer because I couldn't recall the steps to do it so I grabbed the manual and accidentally found a wealth of knowledge!! Sorry for the silly post. Yep, that is what I was looking for. I setup several numbers in my phonebook this morning so that is very cool!!

LG 8300 With Verizon

My info shows up fine. I am not sure if caller ID works. I never get to use it though, because everyone says I sound terrible. I was so excited, and could not wait to get a bluetooth phone to use with my RL. I haven't used it in weeks. I am bummed.

HELP!! Have an LG-325 but want a PDA phone!

Can someone please tell me once and for all...
does the Treo 700w or Treo 700p work with the HFL? I have seen posts
where incoming calls do not route to the HFL??? Has anyone had success
with the 700? Currently my 325 allows send and receive of calls with caller ID and call waiting, but no sig strength and no battery level. I am with Sprint.


Quick Reply: Do you use the bluetooth feature of the RL? If so, what phone do you use?
