I've got the same model for a couple of months now.. It does look very nice and is quite functional, but being as it's a slide-up model, it gets quite flimsy after some use.. It just isn't as compact as it was when I bought it..

About bluetooth: I'll be able to tell you more next week, when my car finally arrives..

I have the phone.. not a fan of sumsung software as its the same to the older E900 etc... The Slide has become very loose now and sometimes opens in my pocket when I run or bend down and then calls people!! The stupid touch buttons means the screen must be unlocked for each function, ie in a call it locks the screen, so you press unlock the cancel/hold etc... a complete pain!

The speakerphone is weak and useless when in the car or in open. Also due to touch buttons it can be activated when holding phone near ear(!) as the unlock button can be accidently pressed which then turns into the speakerphone button.

The sms function is rubbish as when using the sms menu it only shows the numbers saved specifically as mobile numbers.. ie cant sms a contact on "other" number unless you go through the phone book and click on it. That means I have multiple person entries which each have the persons various mobile numbers.

The battery remains (or appears to remain) full for a couple of days then suddenly drops to one bar, flashes and dies - very sudden and so I just charge it every night now.

The touch buttons also means its very easy to delete sms and accidently clear entries if you have big hands.

Mine is all scratched up and I've only had it 5months or so... just kept in my pocket away from keys etc.. its so bad now I just don't bother caring.

Get a SE or Nokia or a Samsung with no touch buttons.

Hope that helps.

does it woirk with bluetooth?

hmi1750 · 08-17-2007, 01:49 AM

no idea as I don't have bluetooth... and I've heard the BMW one is very picky, why not go to the dealer and test it, every dealer has a 325d with bluetooth, due the current used stock that's come in from BMW UK.
