Comparing iPhone and Android with BeSpoke - Just phone functions. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

benlevy3 · 03-20-2013, 05:04 PM

I have an iPhone and am planning on switching to an Android phone. I never use the BeSpoke iPhone functionality, so that is NOT AN ISSUES for me.

What I do really like is the way the BeSpoke works with my iPhone over bluetooth. It reads my contacts, recent calls, etc. Voice dial works great. I am wondering if this all works the same with an Android device.

If anyone has actually compared the phone functionality between the iPhone and the Android, please let me know.

Note, I have an iPod connected to the USB input and use that for music. All I am interested in is the phone functionality (over Bluetooth).

Can't help you with the iPhone side, but my Motorola Atrix 4G works perfectly...it downloaded all my contacts, connects right away when I get in the car, and the sound quality (both ways) is excellent. Haven't tried voice dialing though.

RAZR Maxx works perfectly.

Does voice dialing even work with Android?

Thanks. That is helpful. I suspect it will all work the same. By the way, to get voice dialing, just hold down the red phone button. not obvious, but it does work well. They even included an option to turn off the voice prompts.

Any Android flagship should be on par or if not better than the iPhone 5.

Ex. Nexus 4, GS3, GS4(upcoming), HTC X+, HTC One (upcoming), RAZR Maxx HD, Sony Xperia Z,

I just swapped from an iPhone to Galxy3. Same functionality but much quicker to connect via bluetooth. With the Galaxy it will read my texts to me where the iPhone didn't.

Blu tooth functionality with the Galaxy Note 2 is top notch. Both phone and media.
