Verizon Wireless Phone to import phone book..?
So I've searched the threads (and haven't found the exact answer I want) and some people have mentioned that the new chocolate with Verizon will import your phonebook into the navi.
I have an 08 TL-S and want to make sure that when I upgrade my phone I get a phone that will import the phone book. My wife has a Samsung Gleam and it's supposed to support this function, but when I tried to import the phone book it didn't work.
So please help me out here. Who out there has Verizon and has successfully imported their phonebook and with what phone?
Thanks.

I've looked on hands free link. It's not up to date. Supposedly all the new Verizon Samsung phones have this feature (although like I said earlier, my wifes gleam didn't work) and the newer Verizon phones aren't on there yet like the Envy.
I just was hoping that some Verizon users can tell me the actual phones that they have that have worked so that I can import my phonebook.

if you want my opinion..just go buy from ebay a used phone with the feature so you can download your phonebook..i know for sure 4 sony models that will work..
once you download your phonebook then you can use your new phone..it will still work..just keep the used phone only for downloads until you find they upadte the list..

as long as that phone is unlocked you will be fine..you are verizon and the phone you want to use is sprint..it's a different network so it won't work unless that sprint phone is unlocked so that it will work with any compatible network..

Since I'm not even placing a call from the Sprint phone I would think service would be a non-issue. I could keep the phone for the sole purpose of uploading new contacts to the car, nothing else.

when i phone is purchased through a certain carrier it only works with that carrier..in other words if you get your verizon sim card and put it on the sprint phone it won't work..it will only work if the phone is unlocked..which means the phone will work with any carrier..which means any sim card inserted in that phone will work..

The Venus WORKS!!! The phone book was imported!!! I am kind of disapointed though, I thought if i imported my phone book it would display the phone number plus the name in the center display when someone calls... but its still just the phone number.

I have the Samsung U740 and it does NOT work. I had to manually transfer numbers 1 by 1 using the "name send" feature.
If you have access to a Sprint phone and want to use that to transfer your phonebook, that should be fine. You can pair up to 5 phones with the car and then never use the other phone again. I do have a question though - how are you going to get your phonebook onto the Sprint phone??
Another option is to find out which phone definitely works with the car, "rent" it from Verizon, and then exchange it for the phone you really want. And when I say rent, you get 15 days from date of purchase to exchange the phone. You can use Verizon's Backup Service to get your address book from one phone to the other and back again.

(Darsom1) Yea I understand what your sayin, but that still means I have to look at my phone to even know who is calling if I dont know the number. Where did you get that grill? That is fuckin tight I want it so bad, let me know.

Benefits, anyone? What is the best thing about having your phone book imported? I'm trying to decide if I want to drop 200 bones on a new Venus or just roll with my current phone.

The only thing it does is have your phonebook through the navi, and it also lets you transfer numbers easier to the voice call recognition. Its not worth buyin a new phone for it....
#26
FYI, Verizon does NOT use SIM cards, they use a techonolgy called CDMA. I'm not sure how exactly it works, but its gets better reception on the phone than the SIM cards used by Cingular and T Mobile.
and you can only use phones with CDMA with Verizon, any phones with a SIM card will not work for Verizon. even if you unlock a SIM card operated phone, it will NOT work with Verizon.

Also, is this phonebook import feature exclusive to newer TLs? Will it work on my 05? (im guessing not...but figured i'd ask)

Follow this link guys. --->http://support.vzw.com/how_to_use/bl...h_car_kit.html Has every phone Verizon currently has available and what features do and don't work with the HFL.
I've verified that the new chocolate 8550 does transfer the phone book. However, it was pretty wishy washy as far as the HFL. A lot of the times the phone would not correctly hand over calls to the HFL.
I picked up the VX10000 Voyager recently and the phonebook transfers as well - in fact it was able to use the one transfered over by the chocolate, which surprised me because I couldn't use the phonebook transfered by the chocolate when I paired my motorola K1m.
Anyway, no transfer issues with the HFL with the voyager, everything seems to work.

So far the best luck for me has been Motorola phones. Both my old e815 and my wife's V325i work great, but didn't have PB transfer either.

There is a disclaimer that says the data is provided by the handset manufacturer and not verified, so perhaps those features are supported by the phone itself, and Acura decided not to implement them.

Voyager and TL
Has anyone had any success pairing an LG Voyager with an '06 TL? A friend of mine has an '05 TL and a rep from Verizon was able to pair the Voyager to her TL. I have tried several times to pair my Voyager to my '06 TL but have had no success...
