BlackBerry 7100t firmware upgrade

T-Mobile US has released a firmware update to the BlackBerry 7100t that upgrades the device to OS 4.0 and apparently fixes some problems that have plagued Audi MMI users. great!

a reader "Monet the Cat" sends in:

Thought you might like to know (or post) that T-Mobile released an upgrade for the Blackberry 7100t. Its the 4.0 operating system (4.0.0.198). The reason this is important to me is that previously the 7100t and my 2005 Audi (w/ Bluetooth) could not work together. My assumption was due to the Audi interface (MMI) requiring OBEX and RIM/Blackberry not allowing the Bluetooth interface to do that.
With the new 4.0 operating system the 7100t and the Audi Bluetooth work
great together. Although the phone book from the Blackberry is not loaded
into the Audi the hands free operation is perfect and the phone
automatically pairs with the Audi.

I'll have to try upgrading my 7100t and re-testing with the Acura HFL.

Will a blackberry 7100t work with a new BMW with bluetooth.

Thanks

I have an Acura RL and so far, it and the 7100t work great together. The phone book doesn't transfer, but, the signal/battery meters display in the LCD in the instrument cluster, and if I speak the numbers, the system has gotten them right and dialed every time. The Acura pairing system is great.

Also have a BMW X3, and while we finally got it to work in there, the X3 was very cranky and it took quite a few tries.

I got my 7100T (Latest firmware) to work with my 545i. The phone book doesn't work but the hands free and dialing from the iDrive works flawlessly. very cool. I just have to figure how to get some frequently used numbers onto my SIM card to dial via the iDrive.

Humour is an element that adds spice to life and without which may be life would have been very difficult to spend. But contrary to what many people believe, http://www.besthealthmed.com/humour.html humour is not all about smiling and laughing, though it caters to these fields mainly. Humour is actually the capability to see the lighter side of life, sometimes even in a serious environment. But this lighter view of life should be done intelligently. Slapstick humour is no humour at all, it is just trash.
