Had the same problem. Requires update of bluetooth firmware (found on crackberry user site). On the View Map screen touch "Speed"; at Dashboard view hold the "Moving Average" button for 15 seconds; this gets you into Diagnostic Mode. Press "next" until you get to Bluetooth Status screen (5-6 screens in). Click "Updt Page Ranking" and then click Yes. Software update will download and install. Then delete existing pairing (on your blackberry in the bluetooth program you can toggle to delete button) reboot Nuvi (push power button to the left for 8 seconds) then reinstall phone. Solves problem. No idea who discovered this first but it's actually easy and works.

I can sync and it hooks up properly, but then unexplainably disconnects within about 15 seconds. To make matters even more frustrating, it will occasionally stay hooked up and work perfectly all day long (about 10-15% of the time).
Most of the time, when I first turn the GPS on, the Blackberry will automatically try to hook up, with the results as stated above. Occasionally, I will have to manually envoke the connection.
Has anyone had similar experience, and if so, how did you remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance,
