TL HFLink and WinMobile 6
FYI, I just purchased a Windows Mobile 6 device (HTC S710) and all functions work with HF Link. I receive signal and battery strength indicators without any issues. The phone is compatible with AT&T/Cingular and T-mobile.
Just wanted to let you all know!

Excellent.. I emailed Acura the WM6 question - because the WM5 phones don't support all of the HFL features. I have a Cingular 8125 right now; I tested WM6 but it wasn't all that stable ('cooked' version). I should be getting an 8525, which will have the WM6 download from Cingular in Q3 of this year.
Mike - did you test the data connection to see if it was compatible? (That's the nice thing about these phones.. new os = new bluetooth features!)

Example using Motorola Bluetooth Headset..
WM5 - incoming call - headset beeps
WM6 - incoming call - ringtone plays through ear piece & voice command announces the name
WM5 - battery level - look at the phone
WM6 - push button on headset; ask battery level - phone tells you via the headset
I'm hoping that w/ the upgrade all of the functions will work on an 8125 or 8525. I don't think its a completely different bluetooth module - all of the phones are made by HTC.

Hopefully it will work out for you. Do you have a 04-06 or an 07? Does wm6 push contacts?

I don't have a TL yet =p
But I did go test drive one today at lunch (wanted to make sure I really liked it.. I've wanted a TL since 2002!)
If the HTC phone mentioned above w/ WM6 is 100% compatible then I'm going to assume (horrible thing to do) that my phone w/ WM6 would also be 100% functional.
But i'll find out when I buy my car -_-
