Motorola V710
Phone Tools to enable full Bluetooth
I read a couple of postings suggesting that the Phone Tools utility could be used to enable full Bluetooth functionality. Can anyone confirm that they have been successful in doing this?

I have the latest version of phone tools, and it does allow for BT connections... But the phone has to have the BT profiles to support this. The v710 currently does not.

I have the 710, but don't try to hook it up to my computer yet (no need, i have the memory card). anyway, looking at the VZ website, it says:
"And with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can make hands-free, eyes-free calls, and connect to your PC or PDA whenever and wherever you want."
So what is that supposed to mean? Just for the internet?

Verizon is still testing the software to make the bluetooth fully functional, but you will lose funcionality of the transflash card to transfer mp3's as ringtones. Pick your poison. Folks you must realize(despite the flak I may recieve) Fully functional bluetooth will put allot of software developers out of business.

I am wondering then, why didn't 802.11b wireless networks put software developers out of business?
Bluetooth is a short range wireless networking technology that uses the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as 802.11b wireless networks.
Imagine buying a 802.11b wireless notebook computer and taking it home with you, only to learn that it could not transfer files over your network.
Now how about if the manufacturer kept promising a fix, but the dealer was clueless about that fix?
It's really back to business basics, I think. Handcuffing the connectivity technology never works in the long run.

I totally understand your complaint. I think you had a bad rep who didn't fully disclose info and features about the phone. I too would have been pissed to bring home a laptop that didn't do what I thought it would do

It's even worse than that. They're intending to disable what you've already bought, paid for, and have been using. Their 'weasle words' you'll notice say that although file transfer through transflash may be possible -- it's not supported by Verizon. Just another confirmation that they're intending to hose all of us still again!
This company has no conscience.
