Had my 1490 for a year now. Paired bluetooth with my HTC Trophy (WP 7.5). have noticed a few oddities, was wondering if they're deliberate (in which case I'll need to go back to using an earpiece) or faults (in which case I'll pester Garmin). The other possibility is they are phone quirks.

1) When initiating a call, if the other person hangs up, the Satnav/ phone doesn't. This only happens using the Garmin - other Bluetooth devices work fine.

2) When connected by bluetooth, my phone will read out text messages. However, when the Garmin is connected - nada. BUT, if I push the "voice call" on the Garmin, it does connect to the phone and ask me to speak a number. So part of the phone-control "channel" will work via Garmin

3) (just noticed today) my Contacts don't always show.

I too have the odd problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace, Garmin lists which phones are compatible with which GPS, and mine isn't on the 'approved list'. If yours isn't either then it's just what it is Wink
