The Blackberry 8800 has been released. It's available in Europe and in the US through Cingular. Has anyone tried to pair the phone in an E60 and, if so, does it fully integrate or are there any issues?

Thanks,

Lou

 

I am waiting for RIM to send me one but I suspect it will work quite well, given that all other recent BlackBerry devices I?ve used work well.

However, there?s always the chance...

 

The 8800 works like a charm, with a slighly better sound, less "cracks" when I'm dialling.

I have the BlackBerry 8800 also and it works perfectly with every BMW I have paired it too here at my dealership. Works with all 3,5,6,7 and X3 X5 and Z4

 

it works very well....better than my razr

 

Thanks for everyone's comments!

There is one problem. If you set up a contact group on your BB the transferr of the address books get hung up and the phone won't synch. Thanks to bb forums I found the solution to the problem.

 

Aha! That might be what the problem is with my phone!!
(see this link for more information about my problem.)

Do you happen to have a link to more information from the BB forums?

(fingers crossed until I test things out in a short while...)

 

Bingo! That was the problem...

When I read the above mention about how contact groups (mailing lists) cause the address book transfer to hang, I remembered that I had created a group a little while ago -- right around the time my car was getting fixed. I was pretty optimistic this morning that this would be the solution to my problem but I just now got around to testing things out.

Thanks a million ljmsrv550!

 

No problem. I felt the same way you did when I found the solution to the problem via a google search. I got lucky. To that point I was very frustrated that the bb worked then stopped. Once I saw this thread I knew I had to post the problem to prevent the same issues.
