I guess it depends on the reason that its not supported now. The way phones are supported or not is not individually but if they support what's called a Bluetooth "profile".

There are a couple of Bluetooth profiles that can be used with handsfree sets and cars, one more capable than the other. Their exact names I'm not sure of right this second so I won't say what I think they are anyway.

So let's say new phones come out in the future with proper support for these profiles, then they SHOULD work in the BMW. If there is a bug in the implementation of either the car or the phone you have and that's why its not supported now; AND the company responsible decides to fix it, then its feasible your phone could work in the future as well.

That said, I still don't know the reason why the Treos and Blackberries aren't supported right now. I think that's really ironic because the people with those phones are the ones MOST likely to be talking most, especially on the go. Oh well.
