To those who have the Treo 650 (my carrier is Sprint) paired to their E60:

Do you get more than just 1 bar on the iDrive display once your phone syncs with your E60? My Treo works/pairs just fine with my 550, but one day I was just experimenting with my friend's Cingular Razr and out of curiousity, paired it with the car. Lo and behold, all the signal bars lit up! But when I switched back to my Treo, I only got one bar even though the Treo's display shows all bars lit. Anyone else getting the same experience (1 bar on iDrive display) with their Treo?

I get multiple changing bars on my I-drive paired with my Sprint Treo 650.

the bluetooth pairing is the communition between the phone and the car. the bars on the car a single strength for the bmw assist system. the bars on the phone is the cell phone strength. if you have hooked the cradle up to the car shark fin, then the car bars maybe the cell phones strength when its in transmit mode.
