Thumbs up

I use a BB8700c (AT&T) in my E60. It's really great, synchs up 400+ telephone numbers in contact list, shows signal strength, etc....all-in-all it works great. However, every now and then I get some odd symbols in the NAV window (to the right of the TI initials) including a little symbol that looks like a Palm Treo, and sometimes a little solid triangle. BB still works just fine, but these symbols come and go for inexplicable reasons. I just wondered if anyone had an explanation for this?

The "Treo" symbol means you have a missed call logged in iDrive...

Would be helpful to have a picture but your description makes it sound like missed call and roaming symbols.

I agree -- for some strange reason, when I used to have a Treo, I found that it usually roamed even when I was in my home area. While it was roaming, the triangle roam symbol would display. In the case of my BB, I never see the triangle symbol anymore...

One of my SE T610s would always display roaming as well. Very consistent in its display. Out of all of the mobiles I tested, it was the only mobile to do that. It was perfect otherwise in terms of compatibility.
