The Office features work great on the old SE phones as well. My wife's old W980 connected showing so many options it was unreal, complete with SMS and Email read-out, calendar, contacts etc. My HTC HD2 only showed contacts which is a bit daft! as I already had that and it was called Address Book.

If you go to the BMWUSA web site, you can see what phones are compatible with specific features of the car:

Although it works (and is not on the "supported" list), I now realize that BB OS6 is not a requirement for the Office features of the car...

I see the UK version of this page is better in that it allows you to filter on model of phone.

Yet to find a phone that supports emails on that list.

That list is a good starting point but its not entirely accurate. My HTC HD2 shows that with the Bluetooth Audio I'm not supposed to be able to do a forward and back etc. But I can. It works better using the HTC Media Player rather than WMP. But I like the way you can choose the features you most want and then see which phones support it.

Agreed, as I said I changed my bb8900 after a dropping in a sink moment for another 8900 and the functionality changed for the better. I get audio but thats it. Going to try a torch tomorrow
