Bluetooth and Blackberry

Been finally trying to get to grips with the bluetooth connectivity to my Blackberry and I'm a little disappointed with the X1 so far. I've got the standard stereo system without the iDrive and although my Blackberry is connected to the car it is difficult to initiate calls via the steering controls. The voice control button on the steering wheel is useless without voice control, but is there a way to initiate the voice dialing function of the Blackberry via the steering wheel controls?

I recently had a Ford Falcon hire car that did this and it makes sense. Use the smarts in the phone rather than fitting them in the car also. Once paired, holding down the call button for a few seconds initiated the Blackberry voice dial feature.

Anyone with any ideas on how this can be done on the X1 without the BMW voice control and without iDrive?
