Did a quick check on mobile phone's compatibility here for the F10, the range of mobile phones which were tested to be one way or another compatible with the earlier software version (TX002.005.021 and TX002.005.025) is 89; out of which 50 has some OFFICE functions.

The updated software (TX003.004.031) tested alright with only 15 mobile phones out of which only 5 qualified for some OFFICE functions!! There is no mention of the remaining 74 previously compatible phones, did they suddenly became not compatible or that BMW has been slow in their tests?

When I looked into the RIM BB Torch 9800's firmware requirement, it listed OS6.0.0.337 as being compatible for the earflier F10 software versions and OS6.0.0.358 for TX003.004.031; there is no mention if it is backward compatible with OS6.0.0.337.

When I googled OS6.0.0.358 for Torch 9800, I get results that it is for BB 9700 and worst, a beta!

My BB Torch 9800 came with OS6.0.0.248, it didn't work with my post-sept production combox equipped F10. Upgrading the F10 to TX003.004.031 didn't see it work too. Neither did it work after I have updated the BB Torch 9800 to OS6.0.0.448 (local telco approved firmware version).

So for those whose mobile (including BB Torch 9800) worked with the F10 with the OFFICE functions, you might want to reconsider a software update on your ride!
