I have a Motorola Krzr which sucks. Sometimes it works flawlessly with bluetooth and sometime not.... kinda 50/50. The phone just seems to freeze and I have to shut it down and turn it back on and then it is fine. A real pain in the ass.
Any suggestions on a great bluetooth phone? I am not interested nor do I need a smart phone. I just want a phone that is easy to use with great bluetooth capabilities and won't freeze up.

Thanks in advance.

I was told by a service tech at Cunningham BMW in El Cajon, CA that the iPhone works great with BMW BT, I know you said you aren't interested in a smart phone but there ya go

Except there's been many reports of the 3G iPhone not working well with the car so without further testing or research, I don't think you should run out and get one of those but since you mentioned you weren't interested in a PDA or smartphone, I'm not sure what else to recommend. Early on, the RAZR V3 worked well but I don't know if you can still get one of those new anymore.

If you end up looking at a PDA/smartphone, stay away from Palm devices but BlackBerry devices seem to work very well!

Take a look at JSpira's posts about BT testing, etc.

I had a Blackberry Pearl that worked flawlessly (8100 I think). I have the iphone now (older version) and I haven't really had any problems. I've heard that certain phones will display SMS messages on the screen, but I've yet to confirm that. I also had a V3 Razr when I first bought my e60 and it worked good too.
