In a bizarre coincidence, I spent about 20 minutes yesterday evening  
trying to figure out exactly the same thing with my Moto SLVR. From  
what I see and read in Help, we _should_ be able to dial any contact  
in AddressBook, send and receive SMS, etc, once paired.

I too can sync and move files back and forth, but none of the  
AddressBook stuff works and when ran the paring from within  
AddressBook, it disabled syncing, etc.

If you find out what's on, please post to the list.
