Blackberry 9000 SYNC issues??

Does anyone with a 9000 have issues with SYNC? Mine has not worked great for about a year. It used to drop the call about 25% of the time when I tried to answer. Now it rings once and dropps the call even if I don't do anything. I am thinking it is the phone but the phone works well otherwise.

How do the newer BB's work with SYNC, any issues? Time for an upgrade I guess.

Thanks

Can't say how all of the BBs work, but I have a Bold and it works fine for the phone functions. Text messaging does not work because it doesn't have the needed Bluetooth profile (Message Access Profile).

Thanks for the input, is your bold a 9000 or one of the newer ones?

Sgt, trying to get the boss to buy in! But she is a BB loyalist!

The wife had a BB through her work and was a die hard as well. She convinced her work to pay for the iPhone and is a loyal follower now.

Just pried the cover off. It is a 9700.

Been using a BB torch for a year now. No issues at all with Sync. Wish I could do the text to voice thing but phone not compatible. I am going to get an i5 in Oct. Fed up with RIM. Very few apps, no development path, and their pad is garbage compared to the iPad. Maybe if he focused on R&D instead of trying to buy hockey teams they would be better off.

I have a BB 9630 Tour. It works great with the sync and bluetooth. I've left my phone in the glove box in my bass boat I've been towing and the bluetooth even connects to the phone that far back!!

I'm using a BB 9700 and it is sync-ing up great. I'm waiting till Aug 31 to upgrade- T-Mobile is coming out with the 9900. Sounds like your issue would be resolved with a new phone.

Now if I could just upload pics from the BB to FTE

There might be a newer update for your 9700. Check which operating system it is running. Head to Advanced settings- wireless update and see if there is anything available. It probably won't help the sync issue, but might. ?

Also I have a lot of contacts in the phone and turned off the "auto update contact list" on the truck side.
