[Ti] OT: Phone recommendations?

[Mark Swanson]

I not sure what you mean by crippling blue tooth.  I have a Verizon  
LG VX8100.  It connects with bluetooth on my mac (10.4.6), a G5 iMac,  
a windows laptop (XP pro) and auto connects to the blue tooth in my  
Car.  It even auto transfers call to the car when it starts and back  
to the phone when I leave it.  Am I missing something.   I don't sync  
with address book because  thats one thing I don't really need.    If  
there is more it can do I'd like to know how to uncripple it.
