I recently got a new iPhone and have paired it with my 08 535xi. I've noticed right off the bat that my contacts phone number are not always correct? Anyone else seen this? Some are correct, some only show the area code, and others are blank? iPhone firmware is 1.1.3.

Found the answer in the X5world forums for the e70. It appears if you entered the phone numbers with 555.555.5555 it will only display the area code. This is independent of how the address book is configured to display phone numbers. So even though the numbers are displayed correctly they screw things up since they were entered with dot's. So I'm in the middle of re-entering all my phone numbers as 5555555555.

Luckily I don't have more than 30 contacts in my address book at the moment. So it's a manual process but it's done and all my contacts work.
