BB works great. My Name/Address book on blackberry is very large (>500 entries), so syncing all of the entries is worthless to me What I did is change options on blackberry bluetooth settings under "Address Book Transfer" to hotlist only. Then what happens is whatever is listed in your phone program on blackberry is what syncs with BMW when car starts. I personally only view most frequently called #'s in my phone program on blackberry...about 10-15 numbers...perfect for using the steering wheel and scrolling down for dialing.

Scanning through the phone book is naturally easier on the BB device itself (as opposed to via the steering wheel or stereo), but answering/making calls is virtually flawless as appears to be the sound quality. The only annoyance is the disruption of good music whilst the phone rings. :-) I have a new Z4 and my 8700g (T-Mobile) works fine.
