Siemens SK65 with Blackberry Built-In is compatible. Not a full blown Blackberry device, but wireless mail and calendar work fine.
Former topic on Siemens SK65:
It's a great phone, very good integrated with Blackberry functionality, and most important ..... it works with E60 Bluetooth! As you see on the picture, this phone has a "hidden" qwerty keyboard for f.e. writing e-mails.
Pairing is easy.
Synchronisation with the E60 of address book is limited to SIM Phonebook, so only 12 characters per name. At first I thought it was bad, but using it, it's good to have your (big) contact address book seperate from the names you often dial in your car. You can easily copy items between the two address books and also easily switch between the two address books.
You can dial from iDrive, names appear on iDrive when you receive calls.

[/quote]I have a 7100t with software version 4.0 also. I had problems with disconnects until I set the BMW to be a "trusted" device in the Blackberry bluetooth options menu. Not sure if you have tried that. I have not noticed any issues with BMW Assist yet, but will try it out again next time in the car.

[/quote]I just upgraded to 16.2 and I also have a BB7100t with v4.0something. I also noticed BMW Assist is off whenever the bluetooth connection is active. when I turned off bluetooth on the phone, the SOS button (roof mount)was still not enabled until I went to idrive to initiate service call. Then the roof mounted SOS button lit up.
Still no phone book download to idrive. I tried using a pocket pc with bluetooth to send phone book entries but pocket pc reported that the bmwdevice does not support data transfer. Also while the pocket pc's bluetooth device manager sees the idrive but it's not recognized as a device that supports "OBJECT PUSH" function which is required for data transfer.
But I'm happy with the current voice command functions.

My Ride: '05 530i Silver Grey , black interior. Premium Package, Satellite Radio, Adaptive Xenon Headlights, alpine 500amp pushing 12" alpine sub in the trunk, MTech pedals, 30% tint.
You would think with all the BB users out there and the amount of post on this forum and others (I know BMW is watching) they would get with RIM and make this relationship work. Hopefully we will have full funtions soon.
