i have recently bought an unlocked blackberry bold phone which i activated on at&t with no problems.
i paired the phone with my LR2 with no problems; i can make and receive calls.
the problem i''m having is that when i copy the phonebook from my blackberry to the LR2, it only copies my contacts'' phone numbers, not their names. so when i scroll through the phonebook on the LR2, all it shows are phone numbers in numerical order. so i cannot make a call because i don''t know who i''m calling and i don''t know who''s calling me.
i''ve been through numerous blackberry forums and have tried all different setting changes on the blackberry phone with no luck. my previous phone was running windows mobile 6 and i had no problem with the phonebook.
this is my first blackberry phone, so i don''t now if it''s an issue with blackberry or landrover.
any help is greatly appreciated.

If the Blackberry was brand new you would not have this issue.
The issue is that you bought a "unlocked" blackberry.
The only thing I can suggest is you do the following.
Down load a user guide for the Bold.
Read about how to wipe the memory.
Wipe the memory.
Down load the desk top software from Blackberry.com
Download serive pack 4.6 and hope it works.
Good luck. If you''re still haveing issues drop me a note and I''ll see what I can do.
I bought my Bold brand new and I haven''t had any issues with wif-fi, bluetooth or my 3g network.

i don''t know if being unlocked has anything to do with it. i''ve already wiped the memory and upgraded the operating system to the newest version. still no luck.
i actually called landrover tech support and they told me that certain blackberry phones are not compatible with the bluetooth in the lr2 "yet". supposedly because the bluetooth in the lr2 doesn''t support "object push profiles" which the blackberry has.
can i ask where you got your new bold from? it''s only been released officially in canada, if you''re in north america. it''s pending official release in the united states on 11/4/08 on at&t. i''m hoping when that happens, i can download an official operating system from at&t that would fix this problem, since that is my phone service carrier.
however, thank you very much for your reply, and if there''s anything else that you can find out to help me, that would be appreciated.

Go to www.landroverusa.com
http://www.landroverusa.com/us/en/Owners/About/Bluetooth.htm
start here...sometimes you will need to contact the technical support of your phone provider and then ask for "advanced help" and or you will also have to contact Black berry www.blackberry.com/go/bluetoothpairing for manufacturer solutions too.
The iphone works!
I know that Cingular/Verizon, and T-mobile have blackberry versions that worked as of June 2008 not At&T
good luck

thank you so much for your response. i checked the website and it clearly says that the latest tested software version of the blackberry bold 9000 has partial phonebook functionality with my 2008 lr2 (wish i would''ve known that before i bought my phone).
my question now is in order for the phonebook to have full functionality, will it depend on a software update from blackberry or from landrover?
thanks again.

I''ve got a Curve mated with mine, but in order to get the address book to come up correctly, I had to first set the Blackberry''s default for "last name" not business name or first name. The default on my Curve was apparently "business" name and the first time it synchronized the address book, it was a total mess - all I saw were phone numbers, and in some cases, just a blank space. I think, but I''m not positive, that the Blackberry''s internal settings will override the Bluetooth settings on the LR2.
