I know, I know... use the search function... but to be quite honest there is so much scattered info there that it only confuses us amateur bluetooth users now. Im asking if anyone suggests a particular phone for me (and other amateur e60 BT users) to use in the US. I would like this phone to have a cradle for the car as well. I know that limits my choices but im begging you guys for this... please help!

The best functionality so far is with Sony phones, as well as most (not all) Motorola.
If you want a cradle, I suggest Sony.

Motorola has the most options. All v5xx and v6xx fit same cradle, should you choose to go that route. If you're not into cradles then that opens up even more choices. Also depends on your service provider. Thay might limit your choices somewhat. U can c I use v551 w/Cingular. U may also want to check out the x5 board some have posted links to.
Yes the info is scattered, but do a search to pull up some of the recent discussions and it should be helpful enough.

I love my Treo 650 (Cingular). Much of the functionality of other phones (the stuff that matters, steering wheel answer, hangup, phonebook transfer, etc).
