OK, I know there have been a million buetooth posts, and I have done a search, but I am still not sure.....
I am picking up an ED 545i with NAV in a few days. I have a BlackBerry7100 t (t-mobile).
Will this phone work with Bluetooth? Any special hints or advice?
Thanks.

I had a 7100t for a few days.
I returned it because it will not function with BMW Bluetooth. It will pair, but that's all.

I guess I will find out soon enough, though it clearly doesn't look good.

That could be true.
I never knew of any software update to the Blackberry while I had it. I had to return it quickly or else lose the opportunity of the trial period.

It does work in a limited mode.
You need to upgrade your Blackberry software to the latest version.
You can receive calls. Dial thru Bberry to make the call (painful).
Connection is inconsistent (Once in a while, calling ability disappears).
I am using the speaker function on Bberry instead.

My Ride: 2002 330CIC with Sports and Premium (Sold 4/2005)
2005 545I Black Saphire Metalic, with Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim. Sport Package, MTech Body kit and Spoiler, HUD, Comfort Seats, Navigation, Premium sound, CWP, Heated Rear Seats, Window shades. Valentine 1 hardwired, Aux input.
I am using it, and can use it on a limited basis. The phonebook will not download, but everything else works great. I just updated to the newest SW version, and have 16.2 as I just got the car. A friend thinks the phone book will work if I move my address book to the SIM card in the phone. This will be painful, but I will try it and let you know. I love the phone, so I am sticking with it.

You could be correct..... but "working in a limited mode" does not = working in my view. Either you have a phone that allows phonebook download and voice control, or you have a phone that doesn't work.
That's why I had to break down and return to a normal cell phone. I never found a PDA style device that actually worked. After I got my RAZR, some people found that the Treo 650 PDA style device has been reported to have full funtionality.
