I have a Blackberry 8700 and was wondering if it will sync with a 550 (have one on order, delivery in Feb.). I see that the 8700c will work well but despite some searching I can't find any discussion on the 8700. Based on the BMW website that addresses bluetooth phones, where they list the 8700c as being compatible, I saw in a footnote that a certain software version is reuired for the 8700c to work and I actually have that software version on my phone. Am I OK then?

Although I can't say for sure, it's likely to work. (Obviously, you'll be able to tell us next month.) The 8700c is a Cingular specific model (hence the 'c') but I don't know how much different it is from a non-c model. Most likely, the changes area cosmetic and/or affect things that aren't going to change the core Bluetooth functionality...

Keep us posted!
