BlackBerry® Bold™

[djl3375]

Hello Everyone,

A new one here. I recently got  Blackberry Bold and have been trying to pair it with my New Jawbone bluetooth headset. It continually tells me that no device is found. I have tried everything....resetting the Jawbone, everything. I went to the Jawbone website and the Bold was not listed under compatible devices. I found this kind of hard to believe, so I emailed Jawbone tech support on Monday and have not had a response back. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try or do? Any response is appreciated! Thanks!

I just did it with my 9700 (T-mobile) Bold, you need to make absolutely sure your Jawbone is pairing mode (red and white flashing) then hit "search" on the Bold in the bluetooth set up.  My mistake was that I was pressing  too far down on the jawbone toward the front part when I moved the hand closer to the where the ear bud is and simultaneously pressed the noise assassin button it finally went into pairing mode.

1) Ensure that the Jawbone is fully charged.
2) Start with the Jawbone OFF (no flashing LED).
3) Press and hold the NoiseAssassin while powering up the headset with the Talk button. The LED indicator light should flash RED and WHITE alternately to indicate its in pairing mode.

The  "hidden" Talk button is located just slight over and BEHIND (towards the earbud) of the LED.  You two fingers will only be about a 1/4 inch apart.

I saw a good video tutorial on Youtube about pairing a Blackberry with a Jawbone. Once I saw this video, I successfully paired my Jawbone in about 30 seconds!
