Am I only limited to the phones offered by Mercedes for use in my car?

Hello,
I already have the hands free communication installed in my car, If i get the Cradle from Mercedes can I use other phones, I have a Nokia 9500 Communicator phone.

If this is not possible, then are there any other alternative?

There have to be phones and phone kits out there that are not from Mercedes and will hook up to our cars.

The phones that you buy through mercedes are the only ones that work through the car. They have additional integrated software that allows them to connect to the car, so this means that a non benz phone will not work in the cradle.
