I understand from some earlier threads that, unfortunately, this does not work (for any phone, not just BB). It's not a part of the BT integration.

I have a Blackberry 8100 (Pearl) through T-mobile. It downloads my entire address book via bluetooth (about 500+ contacts, each with multiple numbers).

Each number shows up as "FirstName Lastname - Home, work, or mobile". I can dial any number through the iDrive voice commands by simply saying the name (first and last) followed by which number I want to call (home, work, or mobile). There are a few names which have difficult pronunciations, which haven't worked well with voice commands. But it has been fairly accurate for me, so far.

I should also add that there is no voice training necessary when you have iDrive.

My Verizon BlackBerry 8830 works great with it and the phone book transfers as well.

tx330i · 07-10-2007, 02:13 PM

So is it possible that the iDrive voice command is different than the non-iDrive voice command? Maybe that's why I've seen some say the phone's voice dialing doesn't work while some say they can do everything, including using the phone's voice dialing through the car.

I had a non-iDrive car as a loaner and the voice commands DID NOT work the same as my iDrive equipped car. It would recognize individual numbers, but not full names.

everything works great except car does not accept voice command to "save name", forcing me to manually dial or dial by #. It is at the dealer now, they're going to test to see whether "save name" works with one of their approved phones.

fatalkarma · 07-20-2007, 04:20 PM

Good news is I have Nav which will allow name searches directly into the phone so there is no need to "save names" nor is there a command for that. bad news is voice recongnition of names is poor, tried to call Andy and it asked if I wanted to call Anne, my English is fine

Also, how would you pronounce AAA? So it's a good system in that you don't have to input #s manually, but the recognition leaves some to be desired.

For anyone interested Sprint Blackberry 8830 integrates perfectly with my 335XI. Have not tried voice dialing yet.

myker · 07-25-2007, 08:30 AM

Blackberry 8703E
production 06/07

Integrated and worked right away. only downside i can see is that it will not duplicate phone numbers in my address book ie if i have 50 contacts at a customer and their number is xxx-xxx-xxxx it will only enter the number for the first contact. all the other contacts will be there, however the main number is only listed under the first contact alphabetically. So i either have to enter separate contacts for customer beginning with A or know who's name is first alphabetically to make the call. Does anyone else see the same thing?

Quality and voice dialling are great.

my 8800 works great

so for this question what does RTTI stand for? I had to train by car to dial by name with my cure (no nav) im not sure if that is correct.

Real Time Traffic Info. A feature of the nav for 07 and later model cars.

Not True - I have 4.2 on my 8700C (BES Server) running on a 03/06 production e90 330i WILL NOT transfer phonebook regardless of size but will transfer hot list (limit this on the BB options) Other than that it works great

blackberry curve 8300 works amazingly with my e90 as well. soo smooth. much better than my motorolla slivr. probably also bcuz AT&T owns tmobile
