Summary:                    Blackberry Pearl (8100) rarely initialises
Description: 
Fedora 9, bluez-3.35-1 (rpms) Asterisk 1.6.0-beta9 from RPM and
asterisk-addons-1.6.0-rc1 from source.

When using a blackberry pearl (8100) I need to unload and load chan_mobile
multiple times before the state moves from Init to Free. Chan mobile
working great with other phones (e.g. Nokia).
Blackberry appears to not respond consistently to (or response may be
missed?) AT+CIND=? however if I attempt to work around this by issuing
AT+CMER=3,0,0,1 manually the BB appears to initialise but the connection is
lost when I recieve a call (has occasionally caused BB to reboot also!). If
the BB does (after repeated attempts) initialise properly then it works
correctly for the duration of that connection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I also have serious audio delay to the point where it is unusable and was
hoping that bluez-4.26 might help but by the sounds of things it doesnt.
One thing I will point out on the initialisation issue is that I had tried
that AT+CMER=3,0,0,1 (sent using rfcomm write at the asterisk command line)
and this caused the bt connection to be dropped as soon as I recieved a
call (on a few occasions my blackberry actually rebooted!) but this could
be because it was being sent at the wrong point in the initialisation i.e.
while chan mobile was still waiting for the response to AT+CIND=?.
