Which is best AT&T phone for '05 TL HFL?

Just purchased an '05 TL and its also time for phone upgrade w/ AT&T. Which phone being offered by AT&T currently is compatible with the most features offered by Acura HFL?

Many thanks,
Terk91

Terk, MR1 is right. I just got an iPhone myself. And it's really great with my '07 Type S. I had a Treo before, which worked, but not nearly as well as my iPhone. Plus, you can transfer your phonebook into the TL, where you couldn't with the Treo.

I am sure the iPhone is great but I really don't want to spring for the data plan to get the phone at a decent price.

Check the Hands Free Link minisite on acura.com - it'll have all available phones by AT&T which have been tested with the HFL.

FWIW, I am cheap and always get free AT&T Motorola phones when contracts expire. The Motorolas usually don't show remaining battery life in the MID.
Otherwise, my current AT&T Razr V3r (not V3xx) works very well.

Can we transfer the phonebook in the 05s? I'm leaning towards no since I can find no instructions for it. If we can I'd like to know so I can try it.

+1 on the iPhone. You'll be amazed at how often you take advantage of the data services. My wife gave me grief when I pulled the trigger on a 3G last summer. Now she wants to use its applications about as often as I do. Playing its MP3 files on those long trips in another winner.
