Hello there,

I have looked through the search and was unable to find anything related to pairing a Curve to a TomTom (I saw other devices but not the Curve), so I'm wondering if anyone has been able to pair this?

I have paired my Curve with my TomTom however I am that's for voice calls only. I am still unable to utilize the Curve to connect to data services.

Anyone had any luck with pairing a TomTom to a Curve 8300?

Thanks,

Any assistance with connecting the TomTom GO 720 to a BlackBerry 8300 Curve on the Rogers network (with data service plan).

Thanks,

I've had no luck pairing the 8310 with a TomTom go 720 for data. The 8100 is listed as supported by TomTom but the 8300 is not.

Interesting thread guys. I'm seriously looking at a Garmin 660 (nuvi). for me to just have hands free for incomming calls is a major bonus.

But I am curious about "data" transfer. Are we talking about using the BB to update maps or is there more to this equation.?

pls 'splain to me..?

thanx,

The TomTom can use a data connection for receiving traffic info and a few other functions.

OK: The Garmin (nuvi 660), I am looking at buying uses an FM TMC receiver that would be totally independant of the BB...? (at least from the way I read it, it should be.). Independant / integrated antenna, Garmin connection and 12V plug.

thank you,

As info, RDS-TMC services are not available in Calgary at this time. Currently RDS-TMC services are only available in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

What's the technical difference between the 8100 and 8300? Why would the 8100 work with a TomTom but not the 8300?

I think this is more to do with OS versions.

The 8100 only worked when using OS 4.2.1.66, however the I don't believe this release was a vailable for the Curve, so this is probably why it doesn't on the Curve.

I can vouch that every version of 4.3 that I have run on my 8120 has had no problems with TomTom Plus services

I have successfully paired my TomTom and Curve. It is tricky in that you have to enable "visibility" of your Curve. Once you do that - in settings, you should pair with no problem. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to handle Traffic - TomTom seems to only recognize the 8100 so it seems not to connect via edge with is a necessity.

Hope that helps.

I own a BB 8310 and have had no issues connecting to the TomTom 720 for handsfree use. So I am happy with that. I cannot get it to connect for wireless data, either automatically or manually. I went back through the TomTom and connected via blutooth to my phone and it searched for phone features. What it found was: handsfree, phone book, and wireless data. So it knows the feature is there but for some reason it won't accept the connection. Is there anything Rogers or BB can do to enable this feature?
