Hey. My 530i will be here on Friday and I just made the switch to Verizon. Anyone here using a Verizon equipped, non-PDA mobile phone with their e60? If so, what problems if any have you encountered? Anyone specifically using the LG Chocolate???

Thanks...

LG Chocolate ( UK Version ) does not work with the bluetooth. I found it connects / disconnects in a constant loop with the BMW bluetooth device.

i agree ditch the girlie phone get a samsung e900 no problem at all

The Samsung SGH-E900 is not currently available from any major U.S. carrier. It is compatible with some U.S. networks, and may be available from third-party dealers or smaller, regional carriers.

The LG Chocolate is probably the only Verizon Bluetooth handset that presently does not work on the BMW.

The late model ULF modules require the Bluetooth Synchronization profile, which somehow got left off the LG Chocolate.

Thanks for the replies guys. I ditched Verizon and went back to my W810i with Cingy. I also ordered a Samsung D900 to use because I came to like the slider factor. Should be here next week and I will see how it works and update the thread.

From my experience, only Motorola worked for my 550 when using verizon.

E60 will recogonize the Chocolate but will not sync

Verizon released it's first Bluetooth phone, the V710 in August 2004 and it would not synch. They fixed it in December 2004 by adding the SyncML profile and all of the later Motorolas had it, including the E815, V3c, V3m and the Q.

Here is Verizon's Bluetooth? Car Kit/Accessory Support Matrix for all of their BT phones and PDA's.
