Yep. I have three (Nokia 6820, 6234, and Blackberry 7239). All working as advertised (i.e. different degrees of compatibility).

You can pair more than one phone but only one can be "active" at a given time. If your wife's phone is active, then your phone may not be discovered. Make sure to turn hers off when you attempt to pair yours -- once you get them both paired, you can set the priority in iDrive to choose which phone has precedence over the other if both are available...

I believe the bluetooth on her phone was off when I tried to pair my phone. I'll give it another shot with the other phone completely turn off when i get home later tonite. Thanks for the advice.

The e60 will permit up to 4 telephones to be paired at any one time - the priority, therefore the active one, is set by moving the required name to the top of the paired list via the iDrive.

I regularly use two telephones, a Motorola Razr V3i and Siemans S65 - both paired with the car, the Siemans is the priority (top of list) - All I do is turn on/off the V3i bluetooth to switch between - its simple to setup/do on the V3i as you can set an icon to access bluetooth menu (I also switch the Siemans off), when I switch from one to the other - you don't need to set priority via iDrive either as the car will link to the active bluetooth telephone - I'd say therefore if 'either' (not both) your wives or your telephone has the bluetooth switched on (e.g. power set to on under V3i Setup) the car will automaitically pick the telephone with the enabled buletooth, this would allow for a simple means for either yours or your wives telephone to be active in the car, try and hope for the best ..............
