dubbers

Just upgraded my UK T-Mobile phone package and as part of the deal got the K850i Blue. Thought I might have pairing problems, so flashed the mobile with latest code available on Davinci Team (cost about 10E). My firmware is now R1EA031 originally supplied T-Mobile customised R1DA038. Looking here there are a number of fixes, among which are bluetooth upgrade

So K850i pairs, transfers phonebook (with multiple phone #'s for single person) and provides signal strength display.


Would like to know which BMW snap in cradle adaptor can be used.

I also have the K850i and it works fine in the car.

Still looking for a cradle though - anyone know if one is likely to come out, or if one of the existing cradles will fit?

Thanks.
