Has anyone tried the Cingular 2125 with the e60?
No, but I played with one at the Cingular store on Saturday. Impressive little device. Solid. I'm strongly considering one of these.

I wanted to try it in my car, but the local Cingular store wouldn't let me. I even offered to leave my ID in the store......
If anyone had tried it, let me know. It seems to be a neat phone.

I take my previos post partially back. I do not get a signal strength in the IDrive anymore, but now I see a little cell phone next to the antenna sign (never had that before with my V551). Anyone???

That means you have missed calls in the car's log. Just navigate to that list and view all of them. The phone symbol will go away.
Any more news on the reception? I am thinking of buying this phone also.

I had a missed call from 3 weeks back. With the V551, I never saw this symbol and it didn't show when I used it last week. The call was definitely from the V551 era. The antenne strength bars definitely do not work with the 2125. The rest seems to work fine. So far, battery life is better with the 2125. My V551 would have needed 2 charges by now with the BT on.

Weird - my Mot V600 shows it. That's basically the same guts as your old phone. That's good news about the battery life. A bit of a bummer that you can't see signal strength though.
