Bluetooth and Blackberry

[x5x3]

does anyone know if the Blackberry phones are compatible with the BMW bluetooth?

the website is painfully slow - only just acknowledged that the V3 is compatible - had mine for nearly a year now....

if the blackberry has bluetooth then it will be... exactly how compatable is another thing...

it may not support the phone book but you'll be able to accept incoming calls.

When you dial out on the handset the car will take over when it starts ringing or the call gets answered... I think

as expected then!

guess I will have to try and borrow one to see how compatible it is...

you may have a problem. dont ask me how i know this, but apparently beacuse of RIM's significant US Government who have security issues with bluetooth, the bluetooth on a blacklberry is very limited in its functionality - i.e. basically voice only, no data. i suggest go to a bmw dealer and try it...

This is a stoopid question along the same lines. If I have a non bluetooth phone (ie Motorola), is there a gizmo I can plug it into to make it talk to the X5 phone system without any wires?

I too am still waiting for a BMW response from their website. Dealer was a nice guy but didnt know anything beyond basic knobs n dials.

I have the car and the bluetooth - the problem is borrowing the phone to test it!

I would like the answer to this as I am considering buying a car with Bluetooth. I have the Blackberry but no car to test it on.

Anybody care for a test in the Cambridge or Colchester areas??
