If I stay with Sprint, I'll have to get a new phone when my 535i arrives in a few weeks.
If anyone is currently integrating their Sprint phone with a 535i, I'd like to know:
What model phone.
What features are working when paired with the car.
Overall satisfaction with the phone/car integration.
Any info / guidance will be most appreciated.

My Ride: 2006 550i - Metallic Mystic Blue, Sport Package, STEPTRONIC Auto Transmission, Leather Interior, Power Front Seats w/Lumbar Support, Xeonon Head Lights (Angel Eyes), Park Distance Control (PDC), 6-CD Changer, Adaptive Head Light, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Professional Radio, Premium Sound Package 13-Speakers Logic 7, Weather Band Radio, Voice Control (for Bluetooth Telephone Operatoin), 18" Run Flats, Rain-Sensing Wipers, Front/Rear Heated Seats, Flat Tire Monitor (FTM), Moonroof, Fold Down Rear Seats, Hardwired Valentine One
2006 550i: I have a Fusic by LG (Sprint) - the only issue that I've got is that I can't get the "Send Contact to Bluetooth" option to work. It want to disconnect the BT connection and then tries to "push" the contact to the iDrive compter. The work around, via Voice Control I use the "Save Name" option to add the contact.

I had a Samsung A900 and had issues. Now have the RAZR V3 (admittedly a bit dated!) but works perfectly. Pairs everytime and downloads all contacts...

I decided to live on the edge and try a Sanyo Katana DLX. Sprint said I could return it within 30 days if not satisfied.
So far with my new 535i, it:
1) Pairs with iDrive system.
2) Transfers Address Book successfully.
3) Makes calls using address book via iDrive menus
4) Receives calls and answers using phone button on steering wheel.
5) Terminates calls using phone button on steering wheel.
6) Hands free sound quality is good (both in the car and for remote party)
I'll try more things with it tomorrow.
