Cellular Phones/Bluetooth car kit

Question
Hi, hope you can help.
I have tried to use my Blackberry Curve with my Nokia CK7W bluetooth handsfree car kit and while I can hear perfectly well, the caller can hear a really bad echo of their own conversation.
I thought this might be the fault of the car kit so I tried with another phone (iphone4) and this had no problems.
Any idea what could be at fault?

Thanks

Mike

Answer
It sounds like the car kit is not completely compatible with the BlackBerry, i.e, it just doesn't work as well. Nothing you can do about this unfortunately. You did the test and it worked with another device, so that basically tells you that it just doesn't work as well with the BlackBerry.
