I picked up a new Treo 650 phone on the Canada Bell Mobility Network a few days ago. They did a great job integrating the phone with the built-in PDA.

But enough of that. How did it work with the factory uconnect?

Training was easy. I didn't even read the instructions. The uconnect girl prompted me all the way to completing the pairing.

Using uconnect is easy too. I just press the button on the mirror, and give out voice commands. I haven't programmed in any phone numbers yet, but the voice recognition software doesn't seem to have any problems understanding the phone numbers I say for it to dial. Quality of the speaker phone is good, but the person you call does know you are on a speakerphone.

Only issue so far is that just before it begins dialling, there is a short (less than 2 seconds) burst of a high pitched squeal (feedback?) before you hear the remote phone ringing.

Unfortunately, I may be returning the Treo since I must have a silent phone (vibrate only), and it just doesn't vibrate enough for me to feel it in my jacket pocket (no jokes please). If I can find a comfortable enough belt holster, I may keep it. Otherwise, I will be shortly posting my uconnect success with either the Motorola Razor V3c or the Motorola e815.

I wouldn't mind looking at the Samsung A920, but I believe it is not compatible with uconnect.
