The Treo 600 doesn't since it's not Bluetooth, but someone mentioned they were going to test the 650 with it. I haven't seen a post regarding it.

The Blackberry was a 'no', and I haven't seen anyone dispute that. If you find out anything, please post it.

I have tried the Blackberry 7100 and it didn't work. I am on the list for a Treo 650. When it comes in, I am going to try it and will post back.

My car is 3 weeks old. It was there when I picked the car up after taking the car into have the winter tires put on it is gone. I have no idea why this happend. All they had to do was reset the FTM. My car goes in for that fix RDS a rattle in the sunroof on the 18th of this month.

Good luck :'(

I have a Blackberry 7290 and cannot get the paring to hold with the BMW Bluetooth. The car keeps dropping the connection. I am working with Blackberry to try and develop a profile that might work with Blackberry and BMW. We have had success with other Bluetooth devices that did not work at first. If I can make it work I will post a How-To.

I ran into the exact same proble you did. I spend a week with the Cingular and Blackberry rep and concluded the Blackberry isn't compatable with the bmw system.

I also have the 7290 and am having the same issues as ken o. They will pair, but i cannot make a call or receive a call. I keep getting the message "Activate Phone" from my car...
I'm working with Cingular on this. I'll be interested to compare notes once you hear back from the RIM folks!
