Not sure if you guys have mentioned this yet, the new firmware coming out for the 710 will remove the copy,move, option in menu when you want to move files from the card to your phone or the other way around....

VERIZON is Becomming more and more GREEDY!!!

I will happily pay the disconnect fee to switch to Sprint or the next best carrier.

Depends on the area... around here cingular is absolute crap.. (they tie with sprint for worst network)... ATTWS is ok, if you're not moving around during a call... If you're on the go, get used to dropping calls...

i believe its because if VZW gives us one thing the take the other. They give us full bluetooth function, then they take away our MP3 player. Such that we can not put music our selves in the TF card. we would have to buy and download them from Get It Now. and if you think its too slow downloading it, then thats why they are bringing out EV-DO. $80/month EV-DO+$1/song= VZ rich/us broke. its all a big puzzle.my .02$

Sorry if this is obvious, but does the new firmware fully enable bluetooth/ie. the ability to send pic files to PC without emailing or using my f*cked TF card?

Yeah, if we could get bitpim working properly on this phone moving media would be a non-issue.


By the way, Verizon already does this with games. The only way to get games on this phone is with GIN. Soon, this will be for mp3s as well...

I'd like confirmation too. Also, what if I do not want the firmware change? Is there any more info about over the air vs physical connection?

We may have to wait for someone to actually get it and post exactly what all of the changes are - good and bad.

What location are you out of? Just wondering. Good to see a fellow tech amidst the ranks of conspiracy theorists, "Know it all" hacks, and amateurs. 😲

Yes, 80% of us are consumers, and no we don't work for Verizon or a phone tech place. I am grateful to the people who do work in the business that offer their input but I love the fact that there are phone hackers out there to help us enable the functionality that should be enabled but companies like Verizon disable it for greed. I consider this a violation of our rights.

I really hope someday in the near future the international mobile market meshes with ours because than it will be the way it should be. And by the way, as consumers, I dont appreciate being l...

None of us have any RIGHTS in these matters. We are consumers and inform the manufacturer through our verbal, written and purchasing communication our desires. $ are a powerful tool for informing a company.
