Best cell phone for use in X6

Packdaddy · 06-30-2011, 12:57 AM

I am looking to upgrade my cell phone to a smart phone, Apple, Verizon, Sprint, etc. however, I need a little help here...

What phone are you using and are you happy with it?

How difficult is it to sync with the bluetooth in the car?

I also understand that Android phones won't work with BMW bluetooth systems?
Sorry for all these questions.....Just need some direction from someone who's been there and done that.

I would recommend using Iphone, it fits very well in terms of software interfaces and easy to sinchronize with the car

since i bought my x6 in march 2010, i used the followings phone:

HTC HD2 (window platform)
HTC Incredible (droid)
HTC Incredible 2 (droid)

Working like a clock. And actually droid working faster than windows mobile, when it comes to loading the phone-book after car start

Use Both - HTC Windows
& - Iphone

Find the iphone,has better reception, longer battery life and links to all contacts than the HTC Windows. Both phones are about 6 months old.

I am using the iPhone 4 and the integration is tremendous. Download the BMW connect app and the Pandora app both of which connect seamlessly. I use Pandora all the time and the BMW app also gives you web radio. The only negative is the messages function in office will not work with the iPhone. The contacts synced easily.

I love the iPhone but I do wish the office sync feature worked (calendars and email). That is only with Blackberry....
