TomTom and Samsung Handsfree problem

[Jerro]

Hi there

I purchased a TomTom GO 500 at the weekend as I was impressed with a friends. I went to pair it up with my Samsung P300 but have had no end of problems. It detects the phone ok but when when the Tomtom trys to pair with my phone it says "Unable to use this phone. Your phone did not report any Bluetooth features" Now I know my phone does have these features as it says in the manual and I have also connected my phone up to a Parrot handsfree kit.

I have just downloaded the latest version of software for the Tomtom and it still isn't playing ball.

Does anyone have suggestions?

According to the TomTom site the Samsung's compatible with the Bluetooth on the 500 are:

SGH - D500
SGH - E340
SGH - E730
SGH - E760

All 4 are listed as supporting Hands free calling and TomTom Plus. There's no mention of the P300 unfortunately. Have you actually had your phone working with your friend's TomTom or was it just something you saw their phone doing? It does look like the P300 may not be compatible with the TomTom for the Bluetooth services.

Others may know better of course.
