I bought my G37 last month, I've had my Samsung Gleam phone from Verizon for about three months, it is an awesome, slim phone with a nice look and great features such as the Bluetooth. The phonebook can be "pushed” to my G37 Prem/Nav via Bluetooth, which is nice. However, the phone picks up a line on an outgoing call only once every three or four tries, this is annoying because it takes about 30 seconds for the system to realize there is no activity and hang up so you can try again. My car always picks up on incoming calls.I've tried deleting my phone from the car’s Bluetooth list and re-installing it but still had the same problem.Beware; when I deleted my phone form the list it took away all the contacts in my downloaded phonebook and the car's call phonebook. I don't know if it would delete all contacts because all mine were from my phone.Note that this phone is not an approved phone on Infiniti's website, although it is being tested, my guess is it won’t cut the mustard.Just a side note: when setting up contacts on your cell phone, add a new name for every number because when it ‘pushes’ the phonebook to your car, if you have the cell, home, work etc numbers under one name then the car’s phonebook will show the same name for all numbers associated.Now I’ve got a number for Home, Wife’s Cell and Wife’s work all listed under separate names to distinguish them on the car’s phonebook.

Yes I have, my old LG VX8100 that's now my son's phone, it works great. Since you work at Verizon let me ask you, I love the slim design and cool factor of the Gleam, if I had to go with another phone, what would you recommend? My wife is do for an upgrade and she told me she would like the Gleam, then I could have the new phone. Don't want to spend more than say $50.00 - $100.00 bucks but want a reliable slim phone. My thought was the Samsung SCHU-740AG. It is on the Infiniti list. Your thoughts?
