Haven't been here in a while so it's
good to be back. I know I know
maybe someone has asked this question
already. Just tolerate me for a bit.

The wife needs a new cell phone that will
pair and download the phone book with her
2006 530i. She's doesn't want an iPhone
and she's not interested in a data plan either.
Right now she has a razor from AT&T and she's
Thinking of moving to Verizion although she
not firm on that decision.

Any thoughts.

And thanks for your kindness

Try a Blackberry, although I have an I-Phone now, when I had the Blackberry Pearl and Curve, I had no issues with the BT connection or phone book thru I-drive.

+1, I also have an iPhone 3G now, but BB Pearl worked flawlessly via i-Drive when I had it.

My BB Curve works very well with the bluetooth, and people very ofter can't tell if I'm on speakerphone or not. My sister has the iPhone with her 335xi and it doesn't nearly work as good as my Blackberry. Get the 8900.

Tin can and piece of string is inexpensive but I've not had much luck pairing it. Maybe I need a software update, I'll check with my SA.
