#49 of 58 Bluetooth Phones by silverbullet12 Jun 18, 2008 (9:10 am)
There is a website wireless4bmw.com that lists the compatible phones for BMW. Also, please be aware that the new Razor from AT&T has some software issues. It will pair and work until you shut the car off and then it will pick up and drop the pairing constantly or wont automatically pair at all.

#50 of 58 smartphone Outlook and max addresses by pdude1 Jun 18, 2008 (9:35 am)
Replying to: silverbullet12 (Jun 18, 2008 9:10 am) Thanks!   Has anyone used a smart phone and gotten their "outlook" addresses to sync up? Or just their phone addresses?   Also, I see on my razr with sw 1.0F.03 I don't get all my contacts. Might be that I have too many and might be over the limit of allowable for the addresss book. I need to check that one out. Replies to this message: zekeman1 (Jun 18, 2008 1:38 pm)

Replying to: pdude1 (Jun 18, 2008 9:35 am) I have. I have the Samsung ACE and it's NOT on the list of compatible phones, but I paired it up and dumped all of my Outlook Contacts successfully - works great. Z

I have a Sprint i580 that works in my 530i that's not on the list. It won't download the phonebook, but works great. Keep in mind though, using a non-compatible phone can(not neccasarily will) cause issues with the telephone control unit not covered by warranty.

#55 of 58 Does the bluetooth generally work well? by taxesquire May 19, 2009 (3:06 am)
Does BMW's bluetooth generally work well? Answering calls and call waiting, making calls, etc?   Any complaints? Replies to this message: hemanthh (May 19, 2009 7:52 am) taxesquire (May 24, 2009 3:33 am)

Replying to: carnaught (Jun 18, 2008 4:25 pm) I have had three different cell phones since I got my 3. I have found that although they all work, some work better than others and each causes a slight glitch in the system. My Motorpla worked almost flawlessly. I now have a Samsung that works for calls with decent sound quality, but sometimes I fnd that the steering wheel buttons don't work the way they should. For example, I will have to press end call twice to actually end a call. Other than that it offers hands free security while driving, the ultimate goal.

Replying to: taxesquire (May 19, 2009 3:06 am) I use my iphone 3g in my 330xi. It generally works well, but there are some pet peeves. I cant seem to listen to voice mail at all.   I can make a call from my phone, or look up the downloaded contacts list on the car and ring somebody. Works great. I have not recevied calls while I was on the phone yet, so Im not sure about call waiting.   The worst thing is that when you hit the phone button on the steering wheel one time, it rings that last person you called from the CAR and not from your phone. So I end up calling the same person by mistake when I did not intend to.   So now, I make the call from my phone and not from the directory in the car.

Replying to: hemanthh (May 19, 2009 7:52 am) Thank you - to you and the person who posted right b4 you.   My Acura TL has bluetooth that works well with some minor glitches that seem to depend on the phone.   I think my next car will be a used 330 or 335 with 6MT. Bluetooth is soooo important when you need both hands to drive, you know? So I'd been monitoring this site for awhile and was only seeing comments about synching.   So thank you very much!
