If anyone is interested in getting a Verizon Treo 650, let me know. I can send you to Bill @ Custom Cellular and he'll give a good deal. Just mention that you know me.

The VZW Treo 650 is out of stock at all the Verizon Wireless stores and even VZW Online! Bill had two VZW Treo 650 left and he was nice enough to open one and charge up the battery and let me see if it would pair up with the BT/Assist module in the M3.

Then, while I was trying to pair it, this lady shows up wanting a Treo 650...She gets the other one and I have the last one in my hand. I finally get the BMW BT/Assist and Treo 650 paired up. Then I make a voicemail call from it well knowing that there was no service and then you hear it ringing in the M3's speaker and I get Verizon's canned message that my phone has not been activated, blah, blah, blah. Then after I hang up, I notice that VOICEMAIL was in my BMW Telephone directory. Then I add some "speed dial" numbers and it shows up in the BMW Telephone directory in 1-2 minutes. That's it....I get the Treo and have not had any problems with pairing and I have about 15 speed dials. You can dial from the Treo or from the BMW Telephone menu, or the from the R/T button or from Voice Recognition. The only I noticed is that the Treo 650 does not transmit signal strength data for the BMW Telephone menu on the NAV Screen.

Now, I originally stated that I had the Treo 650 paired up with my BT/Assist module which I assume I had the -993 module. However, CAS mentioned that his -114 module has voice recognition. I tried voice recognition in my BT/Assist module and it works!! So either the -993 does come with voice recognition or I got a -114 module BT/Assist module as a replacement when Crevier was working my phantom BMW Assist calls.

So, I know the VZW Treo 650 will work with BT/Assist module in a E46 3-series. I also hear that the VZW Treo 650 works great on the 2005 5-series and 6-series and 2006 7-series.

Palmone website states the VZW Treo 650 currently does NOT work on the BMW Visteon ULF unfortunately.

It's great to have now 2 Bluetooth phones between my wife and I.

I will probably retrofit an aftermarket BT kit (Motorola BT kit?) in the 2001 X5 (the Visteon ULF will not really work well with the V710 or the VZW Treo 650).
