I have an older BlackBerry and the bluetooth connection for making/answering phone calls works flawlessly. I use it all the time. You should be good!

I am sooooo glad I got the manual as this is the main reason I traded my BMW 335d. While I really enjoyed the torque of the diesel engine, the automatic tranny just made the car rather boring to drive especially on back roads.
