Doing over 2000 miles per month this is a real nice convienience. Highly suggest you navigation owners do this upgrade. It's a real nice saftey thing as well. No hands!!
PS: My mileage has also dropped a few MPG's since this cold weather has hit.
I was unable to get the whole book at once. Just downloaded the ones that I call on a regular basis.mikepaul said:So, did the RAZR transfer the whole phonebook at once?
If they ever put enough memory in one of those (2GB or so), I would consider getting one...

Thanks.
Not an answer to your question but you can use the one-touch buttons to store numbers. They can be programed from incoming and outgoing call records. The disadvantage is that you can't associate a name to the button when you do it this way so you have to recognize the number.jwygal said:So, does anybody know why the Prius doesn't allow manual phonebook entries through the MFD? That sure would be nice since I've had so many problems getting my Verizon phone to work. If I could just enter a few numbers manually into my Prius, I wouldn't care that Verizon has disabled the OBEX.
Toyota has a Bluetooth phone UserGuide available for the Motorola RAZR here: http://toyota.letstalk.com/bluetooth/to ... azr_bt.pdfnewpriusfan said:How did you download the phone numbers? I also have a razr and wasn't able to do it.

Sounds much louder then the Nokia had previously had. Speaker phone has something to be desired, but all in all it sounds real good. Comes through in gangbusters over the Prius console.marlowe7 said:Say, I'm thinking about upgrading to the Razr from the v400. I've never been happy with the receiver volume on my current phone. How do you like the Razr, in general? I'm not nuts about the goofy layout of the keypad, but maybe you get used to it. Is it generally a comfortable phone, etc.? And, is the volume decent?
Any input would be much appreciated!

Another option for adding a few phone numbers manually is to add them to “My Places” on the GPS menu screen. That way you have the name, address, location and phone number in one place. Heck you can even put some of them on the quick access list. When you want to call that number just select the destination screen. Pick the “Memory” then find the entry and select it. It will go to the map screen and show you where it is. Press the “Info” button on the screen. It will show you the address and phone number. Just press the phone icon and it will make your call. That’s the only way I have been able to enter names, addresses and phone numbers in one place manually.CarMyne said:Not an answer to your question but you can use the one-touch buttons to store numbers.

Nice phone...bigger keypad for bigger fingers...it works well for me.marlowe7 said:What about the general ergonomics of the phone. It doesn't look like it would be comfortable to use, but I've never held one. And, again, the funky keypad concerns me.
Is it generally a workable phone?
Thanks,

Did not compare with the e815. Was looking for something that was priced right and had ease of use with the Navigation system on the car. I'm sure there are other phones that will preform just as well. If not, wait a month and they'll be on the market!!wstander said:PassGas,

Great Info.... I'll try it!!RolfS said:Another option for adding a few phone numbers manually is to add them to “My Places” on the GPS menu screen.

It’s also an easy way to call businesses that are in the GPS already that you don’t have to enter in the regular phone book. I do it sometimes just to make sure they are open before I head there. Heck, I was surprised that my work address and phone number was there.
