Best Verizon Phone For An '07 E60?
#1
I'm picking up my '07 550i this Friday and wondered what the experience has been with Verizon phones and the BMW Bluetooth system. I have a Motorola V710 which, according to BMW, is not fully compatible. I want to be able to download the phone register easily and have easy linking (including using a snap in adapter) and would appreciate some input from Verizon users before I pick a new phone.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Some have issues with its durability but the Motorola Razr works great and the cradle is readily available.
I work in sales and use the phone about 2 hours a day. It's been about 60 days since I picked it up and so far so good (as it relates to durability)

As many have stated, the Motorola phones (RAZR & K1m) are known to work flawlessly w/ the BMW Assist Bluetooth system. I recently got a LG VX8600 and no problems with pairing and phonebook transfer. I read several reports of Samsung users having problems with phonebook. Good luck on whatever you decide on.

I have a Samsung a930....with a camera that now has a pic on my car on my banner
The RAZR is allegedly compatible, too.....
I upgraded my Samsung a650 to a a870 that had Bluetooth but wasn't compatible. I went back to Verizon and they helped me find a compatible phone.
My husband's Treo 650 also quickly paired with my car and he's on Verizon, too

Paired my phone with a Verizon Moto Razr V3m (with latest software version) and had no problems. Phonebook dowloaded quickly and accurately and the reception (without a clip on adapter) is pretty good. In fact it is better than the Bluetooth performance of my recently turned in Lexus LS 430.

I have the verizon razr as well and it works perfect! Never had an issue since day 1 of owning the car. My blackberry doesn't work as well, so I only stick to using my razr when in the car.
