I know I should RTFM but I notice a phone icon in the bottom of the screen that wasnt there before. My bluetooth phone also is not working.

Can someone give me the quick and dirty answer. No flames please

Mine used to display a triangle most of the time indicating I was "roaming", I think. Now I get a cell phone icon whenever I have my Bluetooth phone connected along with various bars for signal strength. I can't say for sure whether the phone icon appeared after a CIP upgrade or what it might be related to. I like it.

As was confirmed in another thread (I went and checked it out!!) it definitely refers to calls missed during handset bluetooth connection with the e60.

The icon can be cleared simply by clearing the missed calls list in your iDrive menu.

I will have to check that out. I am not very prompt in deleting missed calls. If a call is missed and no voicemail message ensued, it could not have been all that important.
