LG PM-325
SO glad I read the reviews about Crippled Bluetooth.
wow - I'm really disappointed in Sprint, but I'm certianly glad I read the reviews here first... half the reason I was excited to own this phone was so that I could always keep my phone is sync with my Mac address book and calender - a feature that Sprint has cleverly disabled. Shame on Sprint for A) doing that in the first place and B) not making it clear at all that they have disabled many of the features that the manufacturer touts.
I can understand not wanting people to use bluetooth as a cheaper route to the internet... but preventing simple and useful things like syncing contacts? its just foolish.
Does anyone know if this phone could be synced to a Mac OSX using iSync and some sort of cable?

I think it is pointless to diable contact sharing. Sprint generally crippled the features that defeat services that you have to pay for (no sending ringers, or pictures for example) but left it able to be used in DUN (dial up networking) profiles. Sprint Tech support and customer care lines adamantly tell you that this is not supported and if you have need of any tech support on the subject, there is no help from them. Being able to send contacts though is not a feature that would stop sprint from making any money and therefore makes no sense to disable. (the treo 650 on the other hand is able to receive contact information from bluetooth devices like laptops and other BT PDAs)

does anyone know if DUN works with a sony laptops? using the pm-325 as a modem, someone said it worked for some people.

it is supposed to. Sprint does not support this feature (similar to their animosity toward future dial's "SnapDialer" software) so they will NOT supply any tech support for this, but you can go into SprintPCS.com, go to your account, click on "phone details" and find the download for your OS on your laptop. I have not actually done this, so I am unsure if this works or not. If someone gets it to work, please post a reply.
