Does anyone have a list of cellular phones in Canada that would work with the new TL's hands-free link system? My dealer told me that I'd find such a list from www.acura.ca but I couldn't find any information on this after 1 hour spent there.
BTW, does "Hands-free Link" mean the same as "Bluetooth"? If so, I don't understand why Acura uses a different terminology in Canada.

 

Rogers have about 4 or 5 phones that are blue tooth enabled. I bought the Nokia 6310i. Seems like a great phone although its kinda bland looking. I'll only be getting my car early next week - will let you know how it works in the car.
Hands free profile seems to apply to all bluetooth phones.
Bell dont do bluetooth

 

BTW the list of phones is on the US web site www.acura.com

 

Last week I was able to get the list from the Acura.ca site under "Benefits -Hands-free". There was a pop-up that listed the phones. As far as I can see you are correct as I can't find it either so they must be working on it.

However, I downloaded the list and saved it so here are the models:

Nokia 3650, 6310i
Sony Ericsson T68i, T610/T616
Siemens S55/56

The best deal I can find is Fido who just dropped their T616 price to $300 this week, and the Siemans to $200 (both if you get an airtime package). Since I won't deal with Rogers anymore the Nokia is out.

I am getting the Ericsson T616 as it looks like the best value to me, but check out all of them as I think you can most likely get any bluetooth to work.

 

Thanks. Hopefully Canadian phone companies (Bell, Telus, Rogers, Fido, etc.) will start adding more bluetooth phones to their lines. Right now, the 2 big guys (Bell & TELUS) don't even seem to support bluetooth at all.

 

Bell doesn't even know what bluetooth is. I was transferred 3 times in search of their "expert" and finally gave up. Fido appeals to me as they bill by the second, not round up like Cantel does. Even if Cantel cuts you off with one of their infamous "dead zones" you still get charged, and rounded up if over 30 seconds.

 

Would be nice if Blackberry (RIM) would add it to their models. Might be difficult to have two types of wireless on the same phone.

 

Anyone know if Nextel has any Bluetooth phones?
