Default "Best" Phone for connecting to 2009 Prius?

I am having a difficult time finding a blue tooth phone to work with my Prius.

My current cell phone is not a blue tooth phone, and I want to take advantage of the hands free phone in the Prius, but everywhere I look there seem to be serious drawbacks to the phone to Prius match.

I have been to the Toyota Let's Talk site, and looked at and compared phones. They don't update that site very much.

They should really have a phone that Toyota endorses to go with the Prius and is completely compatible.

Does anyone have a phone they can recommend that they know works with a 2009 Prius with the Navigation Package?

I have an 04 Prius. I also have a 5330 Blackberry Curve. It works great with blue-tooth. No problems.

iPhone works great! It took a while to make the blue tooth handshake, but it works excellent every time now.

My T-Mobile G1 mates up with my 2009 w/Nav with no issues.

Just about any late-model phone (i.e., released within the last year) with Bluetooth should pair with your car with no issues.

I have a BlackBerry Bold and Curve. Both work great but the Bold comes in more clearer.

My iPhone paired up easily but you will have to transfer the phone numbers one at a time. Other than that it works great...
