Verizon Cripples Bluetooth on RAZR2 now?

PC Magazine Article:
Motorola RAZR2 V9m (Verizon Wireless)

This is hard to believe, if it is true. The Maxx had all of this and now the Bluetooth is gone again?

The phone doesn't support file transfers or modem use over Bluetooth; only headsets, car kits and speakers. (Other RAZR2 models support Bluetooth file transfers.)

here is the aritcle with links to the original post with pictures at the bottom

Verizon Readying a 15 Phone Barrage for the Rest of '07

verizon_canon.jpgPhone Arena snagged some docs laying bare the rest of Verizon's 2007 release schedule—no major surprises here, with most of the heavy hitters Verizon versions of stuff we've already seen, or at least heard about: the Blackberry Pearl, for instance, isn't exactly tingling our spines with freshness. Hit the jump for a down-and-dirty bullet point runthrough of the fall spoilers.

Cell phone service - San Jose, CA

Anyone have any feedback on the quality of service provided by AT&T GSM versus Verizon in the San Jose, CA area? I have to switch from AT&T TDMA soon and would appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

screenshots

Can anyone get a screenshot of some sort of internal Verizon site with information pertaining to the release and specs of the Pearl? I'm so excited and I really want as much info as possible! Thanks!

LG 8350....not excited.

I have been holding out for the 8350. I have had the 8000, 8100, now the 8300 and was anxious for the upgrade. Now after seeing that picture just posted I am not so exicited. Still 1.3 mp. (was hoping for a 2mp). Don't see a flash. Design overall is kinda lame.

Looks like they just got rid of the stub antenna and made it more oval. Anyone else that might have been waiting for this phone less than excited like I am?

Honest Question

I come on this site all the time to read about people crying about Verizon not releasing phones. Do you guys honestly believe Verizon makes the phones. I agree that they are slow to release phones but you guys need to start blaming the manufactures. Sorry if that went on to long but its getting annoying coming on this site.

Razr v3m extended battery

Hi All,

I was thinking about purchasing the extended battery, but am concerned about how big it would make the phone. Can anyone let me know how thick the razr becomes with the extended battery? Does it still look normal or does it look bad?

Thanks
Mark

question on text

I have the Q ( unfortunately) any how, i text a lot and have told everyone not to send me a text over 160 characters because it gets stuck in my phone. Sometimes they forget and i get a long text that jams up my in box until i make a phone call and all the sudden i get like 9 or 10 texts rolling through. This also happened when i had my treo. Is there anyway to fix this or am i s.o.l.?

vzw vs others

I find it funny how everyone posts all this crud over who has better coverage and better phones. this is how i look at it.

I hunt and camp a lot and verizon works well where i need it, but i know there are plenty of areas it doesn't work maybe in another state or something. Same goes for sprint or whatever.

Also verizon does have a lot of features locked but it is better safe then sorry. I would rather have a cool phone with a couple crippled features then a cool phone with a virus. so to each their own but thats my perspective! 😁

yo i was in other forum and i come cross this. i read it and thinked that yeah man verizon phones are cippled. just like my bros samsung 950 that didnt play no mp3 man. why verizon do this to their peoples? its get to me bad.

Verizon, why bother?!

by the2ndflood Today, 6:05 AM


It is always stupid when Verizon offers phones like this.

RAZR 2
1. Full HTML web browser; Which Verizon will disable.
2. POP Email access; Which Verizon will disable. Unless you spend more.
3. Linux-Java; Which Verizon will disable.
4. Full media player; which Verizon limits to their own content.
5. 500+MHz processor; which Verizon will never let you access the content that would make this type of processor worth it.

What is the point?! ...

Just for the record...

I believe that all of VZW's data network is REV A. Someone in some forum was stating that Sprint's network was bigger and better and this is simply not true. I believe that phonescoop posted an article about this a month ago.
