My Ride: 2004 545i TITANIUM GREY II on Black Dakota Lthr, Comfort Seats, Sports PKG, Premium PKG, Active/Dynamic Drive, NAV, Winter Package.
Guys with Blackberry's the delay is mainly the address book, I have about 1000+ contacts and it takes sometimes more than a minute to sync and get control over the radio and the rest of the iDrive. Also while the BB is downloading the AB if you have navigation, your map is trying to load. Everything takes time.

My old phone, a Moto, took about 5-10 seconds.

~5-10 seconds for my phone to pair/connect. A bit longer for the AB to load, ~30 sec to 1 minute (400+ contacts).
Phone BB Curve 8330 (VZW)

1. Does it make a difference in connection time if you have navigation on?
Thanks!

My Motoorola MAXX takes 60-90 seconds to connect with my '07 530xi. 
By comparison, in my '01 e38 740i w/Nav the same phone paired in 5-10 seconds; in our '07 Rav4 the pairing is instantaneous. Maybe the "advanced technology" in the newer BMW's needs some vitamins!

Thanks - ONE more question to all of you:
1. Does it make a difference in connection time if you have navigation on?

Don't have NAv so could not tell you. Butmember Moopai posted above, it does. It would make sense tho, the computer can only process so much info at one time, slowing the load time...

Wonder if there's anything that can be done in terms of sw upgrade?
Also do you have NAV?

The Maxx has been updated several times since it was released. You'll need a mini USB cable.
