Question
I know I must seem really SLOW on this question but, here goes!?
Between myself and 3 or 4  friends we all could not come up with getting my Blackberry 8330 Curve get together with a motorola H 700 bLUETOOTH HEADSET??
I SEE CONNECTIVITY! but, I cannot hear from earpiece, the instructions for the H-700 are made for Motorola wireless phones and the instructions on my Blackberry are for Blackberry or info.in the owners manual ( which of course I cannot find ?? )

Is there some " idiot proof instruction " I can get hold of to ensure proper connections of these units????
Thanks,
Joe E.

Answer
The H700 should definitely work with your Curve. The way that you do this is to start by pairing the devices. Put the BlackBerry into the discovery mode - go into your connections and set up Bluetooth and before you have it search for the headset, put the headset into the pairing mode (the light has to be solid which indicates pairing mode - on the H700, I'm not positive, but I believe you have to press and hold two buttons to put it into pairing mode). Once in this mode, then have the BlackBerry search for the headset. Once it finds it, then it, then select the headset and once it asks for a passcode, put in 0000. Once the devices are paired, then you have to have the headset turned on and the Blackberry with Bluetooth on in order to use the two together. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks. DebiN
