You face another problem - do you wait for the iPhone 5 in June, even further complicating things....
Thanks for the info. Not want I wanted to hear but thanks!

Re. iPhone 5, I know! Aaaaaargh! The iPhone 5 comes out a month after my existing contract expires. I can then buy an iPhone 3GS, an iPhone 4 or an iPhone 5.

The 3GS is the safest bet, one cradle, two iPhones, should work with 6NR but gives me an inferior phone.

iPhone 4 will mean the cradle will only work with my phone, not my wife's.

iPhone 5 is the best phone but will mean that the phone will probably not work with any BMW, old or new for another year!
