Don't you wish it was just a little bit wider? It fits the iPhone perfectly, but I usually keep my iPhone on my belt. If it was just a bit wider, it would hold my 8800 Blackberry. (Life must be good to have something so small to complain about!)

I have no idea what that silly little "slot" is for! I would have like to put my 8800 Blackberry in it too. If BMW had made the sides straight, it could have done that.

that slot is for the DVD entertainment system's remote control. But, I do agree that i would've been perfect for a cell phone if it was a little wider.

Oh, that makes sense then... But I agree it should have been wider so it could be used for other purposes.

Didn't fit my Treo and it doesn't fit my Mogul / VX6800. Another few centimeters please...

What loose change? I only roll with $100 bills.......

OK, joking aside, where do you put your change? I just have my quarters sliding around in the center console. I didn't see anyplace specific.
