The problem is the term 'work'
I would be very suprised if it didn't do the basic handsfree BT connectivity. I.e make and receive calls.
It may do the phonebook functionallity (i.e. keep your contacts list up to date on the nuvi) - but this isn't a major issue as long as you can get an initial copy onto the nuvi - even my least BT nuvi functional phone (Nokia N80) allows me to do this.
It might do SMS. This is only really useful if your nuvi does Text-to-speech as playing with your nav system to read texts is probably just as dangerous as using your phone.
I have listed them in order of probable working.
BT is not as 'standard' as manufacturers would have you believe and the nuvi BT s/w is fairly long in the tooth now.
The general trend eems to be he more modern the phone and he more 'smart' they are - the less functionality you get. _________________ Phil |

I have tried the samsung g600 and can confirm that if anyone buys it to use with a garmin 360T,then they,i believe have picked the wrong phone,ive tried it and it certainly didnt work with my360T.I have had to revert to a samsung E900 which works extremely well with my system.Hope it helps if anyone reads this message.
regards ray. |
