Don't fall into the trap that because one Nokia works all of them well, neither with Sony Ericsson's.
To give you an example - had one of them Nokia 8800, lovely phone, cost a small fortune, had to get rid, refused to work with my E46 BT BMW carkit, girlfriend's Nokia 6230i, worked like a charm.

Sony Ericsson T630/K750i works, K700/P900 not a chance.
Samsungs I found were hopeless as well.
You are correct but in terms of compatibility, Sony Ericsson has been the most consistent. The P800 and P900 didn't work due to issues with the Symbian OS. I was not aware that the K700 didn't work.

That notwithstanding, pretty much everything in the Post T39 world from SE works - and is completely compatible in terms of directory transfer etc.

Nokias and Motorola mobiles are not consistent at all in this regard - even for the same mobile with different sw and fw.

The only way to know for sure is to make sure that the mobile you purchase can be returned if it doesn't work - that way you can test it on your vehicle.
