Does T mobile have any BT phones that are not Crippled?
I read in the VErizon forum T Mobile has features disabled on some of their BT phones. I do not really believe it. Is it true? Which phones?
I did not think T Mobile would order BT feature disabled phones. They are more like Cingular then Verizon......or not?

As far as I've been able to see, TM doesn't cripple their phones. I've only tried to use the v600 with the computer, and that worked fine. As I understand it, some models only support certain BT profiles, but TM hasn't dictated any of that...
Since Cing and TM share many of the same models of phones, I don't think TM would be stupid enough to cripple something that would fully function with Cingular.

Tmobile does not cripple their phones. Verizon is the only major company that I know of that does that.

Yes, let me clarify. There are certain phones that bluetooth does not support "all" things it may inately be able to do as a product on the whole. That doesn't mean T-Mobile has disabled them....

(note: it doesn't advertise what it won't do, but what it will, which is just the hands-free headset and car-kit support)
I'll give you an example. The blackberry 7100t: it will not support data transfer via bluetooth, but will support the bluetooth earpiece. Blackberry does that, not T-Mobile, and yes we buy that product knowing so, and we do not advertise it as a phone that is capable of doing that, and to my knowledge, neither did vzw. From what I understand, and if anyone...

I think they should let customers know specifically that a device does not let you transfer files via bluetooth. Customers see bluetooth and assume it has all bluetooth capabilities. On T-Mobile's site, the bluetooth phones say they have it but does not go into any detail about which features are/aren't supported.

I think some of the problem is that consumers are not educating themselves on the purchases they make. In this case it just happens to be the functions of a cell phone. But you can list many many other cases in which it boils down to the consumer not educating themself on one thing or another.

I do agree with you to an extent. This could open up a HUGE amount of debate and/or confusion however, if we or anyone else did, and this is why:
We'll focus on bluetooth, but this could apply to several things...Bluetooth is a very vertatile tool, it can do a lot of different things, but you will hardly find 2 different products next to eachother that will do the exact sam...
