Palm Pre (Sprint) 3G Bluetooth Audio

I am about to buy the Palm Pre. Mazda's site says it will work.

Anyone know for sure, or tried it?

Hey tomtom,

I saw your message a couple of days ago and was finally able to test out the Palm Pre with the Mazda 3 last night.

The bluetooth connection seemed to work great. The phone worked just like you'd expect.

Unfortunately I don't have any MP3s loaded on my Pre right now, but I did test it with Pandora and can confirm that it worked great. The next button even advanced the track in the Pandora app. So I would assume it would be able to go forward and back tracks in the regular music player as well.

I've tried the bluetooth with a Palm Centro and an iPhone and the Palm Pre has been the best of the three for use in the Mazda 3.

Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll try to test it out for you.

How was the sound quality with Pandora? I tried playing Pandora thru my Palm Treo Pro. While it worked, I found the sound quality pretty poor.
