My Ride: 525ise, Dec 2003, Silver Grey, Black Dakota Leather, Bluetooth, 18'' Runflats, Folding mirrors, Automatic/man box,parking sensers front/rear,latest addition 645ci black saphire, with everthing on, nothing it does not have.
i have had same problems as everybody else with the phone conecting then disconecting. all i do each time i start the engine is to delete phone in i-drive then pair again with phone and it is fine. only takes a few seconds which is a small price to pay for such a cool phone

beg to differ at least the 8800 is a bit different and unique not like the billions of people that got their 6230 free!!!!!!!! :thumbsdown: software upgrade will sort this out anyway

I have an 8800 that I paid a King's ransom for (it'll be the last 'premium' handset I buy after years of wasting money on poseur's phones) and a 525i that i also paid a King's ransom for (have you seen Bimmer prices in Aus) and the weakest link is BTooth; who'd've thought, it shits me to be frank!!!!!
6230i inbound, can't bloody wait!!!
There, got it off my chest

Its crazy when you think about it. I paid E1100 for the bluetooth extra in my car. Bluetooth is an industry standard and only 4 nokia phones are on the compatibility list. The 6310i which has not been in production for nearly 4 years, 8910 which again is no longer being made and then only this year the 6230i and 6230.
My pal bought a Ford Focus last week and his radio has a bluetooth which will work with all phones as a standard piece of kit

BMW/ Nokia shoudl egt their act together. In Aus (as it was in the uk when I left 6 yewars ago) Nokia is the pre-eminent handset manufacturer and BMW is pretty big news (bigger in the UK granted)but I thought BTooth was open architecture?!?!? Thats what gets me. I thought any 2 BTooth devices would comunicate?!?!?!?!?!
I had my 8800 connected to a moto btooth kit (prev had a Razr) without any issues at all and that kit cost AU$200!!!
Now i have btooth 'plumbed in' and my hand is forced over the handset!!! Ach, I should get over it but its annoying me, you know?

I guess the only option I have therefore is to swap my old 6310i for a 6230i
I'll need to get used to the tiny keys though, unless I make all my calls from the car 
Just a shame the software doesn't utilise many of the features of the 6310i or 6230i handsets, see my other query here: 6230i query

What was your other query? About what phones seem to be more feature enriched with BMW Bluetooth? I think the answer to that one seems to be motorolla phones
