I just got home from getting my software upgraded. They said they tested it, and I was walked through pairing it up and could see all my contacts. Well I got home to dial a number in my car and I can only hear a word every 5 seconds. It freaking sucks! I'm using a iPhone for the bluetooth, anyone have similar problems?? What should I do?

Let's hope iPhone firmware 2.0 will fix that problem.

Yeah can't wait. I've had really bad audio quality with the iPhone since I originally got it. I don't know if alot of people have similar problems but I have my calls constantly break up on me when I'm talking.

I wouldn't hold my breath for this. I still have my AT&T Blackberry Curve for work, along with my iPhone for personal use. I can be in various locations and show 5 bars on the BB while the iPhone shows 1 or 0 bars! Don't know if it is the antenna in the iPhone or what but it does a poor job of picking up signals that my curve picks up just fine...

See my 2.0 thread - rumours are that it's a backward step

If you rely on the iPhone address book appearing in iDrive, DO NOT upgrade to iPhone firmware 2.0.
