Help Everyone.
I ordered the Nokia E61(Go Figure!) from T-Mobile and have had to return it as it was totally incompatible. It wouldnt even share its phonebook with my E60. I had to return to my old Mda Vario which works very well even with the BMW Voice Command.
Can anyone recommend a CURRENT phone that is fully compatible with their BMWs?
Thanks.
P.S. I am in the U.K.

I've got the Sony Ericsson K750i and that works great.
Only thing that doesn't seem to work is the SMS text function, but then I don't really want to be reading text messages while driving anyway so it doesn't bother me.

MOTOROLA V3 RAZR, or similar models to this phone (V3i, V3x, KRZR, SLVR, etc.)
Works like a dream via the Blue-Tooth. The snap-in craddle is also fine. Only heard good things about these phones interfacing with the E60 (and E90) Bluetooth hands-free phone system.
Cheers

Trying not to go the Motorola route if poss. I have been impressed with the Sony E's thought so I probably will go for that, only wish the W950i was on T-mobile.
MARCSONFIRE... Your spec is just mindblowing... Never even thought the Logic 7 was available in UK... Must be very baddd, I mean good (Well u know what I mean

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
I've been happy with using my Motorola E815 (Service Provider = Verizon) with BMW phone cradle -- I like the opportunity to use the BMW cradle so that I'm charging the phone and using the BMW antennae too.
I've got a V3 Razr (Service Provider = Cingular) and that seems to work fine. There's a phone cradle for this too but I haven't picked one up yet.
Latest News: My company is supplying me with the Treo 650P (P=Palm OS versus the W=Windows OS). I just called BMW parts and they unfortunately do not have any plans in the near future to accomodate a cradle for this mobile PDA phone.
Anyone have any luck with bluetooth and the Treo 650?
