All,
Just wanted t say that I just got a Blackberry curve and it's working perfectly with my 2005 Audi a6 MMI system. The phone book syncs perfectly. Only issue is with the "dialed calls" list. It doesn't list all of the calls I made, but received calls and missed calls work fine.
Couple of tricks:
1 - The MMI can only access the telephone's phone book, it doesn't see the SIM card.
2 - You need to tell the curve to transfer all phone book entries (not just "hotlist only" - default on mine). Hotlist only just sent my 10 most recent contacts, which seems kind of useless to me. You can also configure the curve to send only certain groups, so if you have a ton of contacts, you may need to dig into this more.

3 - On the MMI in phone mode, press setup, then memory settings. Make sure "all" or "telephone" is selected. it doesn't read the SIM, and that was my default in the MMI.

That should do it... I'm happy I spent a little time to make this work. Just wanted to post this for a reference in case someone comes searching.

I've got the updated MMI as well... What network are you on with your pearl?

I usually have the phone in my briefcase in the back so cannot hear the phone. Only indication of a call is the visual display. I miss this feature. It worked fine on my now retired Motorola Razr. I posted about this and others had similar difficulties. Does your car ring when your phone rings?

Yes, my phone rings. It's the ugly Audi ring, but it works. I'm trying to get it to send the ringtone I have selected... my old Raxr v3xx did that and it was kind of cool. Let me know if I can help you figure it out... do you have a BB Curve?

Re: I'd settle for the Audi ring. I have a Blackberry 8830 World Edition Smartphone with Verizon.

I have the Verizon Blackberry 8830 and recently updated my MMI ('05 3.2) to the most current version. For the first time ever I see my phone book, missed and dialed calls, etc., BUT, the phone book only transfers through letter N, then skips to one entry for the letter S and then no other entries. Is there a setting on either the Blackberry or the MMI to transfer more numbers, or is there a storage capacity issue here as I have almost two thousand phone entries (lots of business numbers, fax numbers, etc.)?

I have had no issues others have mentioned with receiving calls.
