Motorola V710
710 is currently in user trials
Have one sitting in my hand. Very well build. Very solid. I hate the belt clip as it does not swivel...and why did Moto put the speaker at the bottom of the back side of the phone....not a very good place for it. Flash...if you want to call it that, more like a bright ass light, works well. The menu reminds me of the 730 but with anamation. 15 sec video. No speakerphone. Looks like Moto will make a big comeback with this phone. For all who have been waiting for this phone..... it will NOT be out this month. Look for it mid-July at the latest. It will not roll out with VZW's video messaging intro....Samsung 9900 will. This phone will be the third video phone to come (LG VX-7000 second). I know that everyone wants proof...so, for all ...

Clue said: No speakerphone.
Maybe it's just your trial phone? The official moto site says speakerphone

Yeah I found the button.... left side of the phone under the volume buttons. I'm just reading the manual.

Something looks a little fishy about your post. I spoke with the Verizon Wireless Technician at the Lenox Square Verizon Wireless Communications here in Alanta, GA and he said that the phone had just exited friendly user testing and it passed with no problems. Also the phone has a full duplex speaker phone. Next Samsung doesn't have a 9900 model, Audiovox does. Next it will be early July, subject to change, at the latest. We all already knew that the AUDIOVOX 9900 would be released on June 25th will the roll out of video messaging and wap 2.0. We also knew that more than likely this phone would be the last of the 3 phones to be released. Also we knew then Openwave Version, it's listed on phonescoop under the phones specs, but not many people...

the string theory itself contradicts half the stuff u said..... i emailed motorola b4 its deff 3 mins, speakerphone was part of the short film....
...
Well believe the string theory. VZW has limited the recording to 15 seconds. When it comes out you will see that the "string theory" was only a movie.
...
15 seconds per video message. The phone can hold multiple 15 sec clips but it will NOT record mor than 15 sec per clip.
...
Fu*k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yo vzw is being gay and why this sh*t is taking so long to come out is even more fustratin since no1 knows shi* and they refuse to tell consumers ne thing
...
Dude, relax. Its coming in July. We, VZW, are NOT allowing Moto to embarrass us like they did with the T720/30 nightmare. It's not going to get out to the public until we approve it.
...
15 secs is still gay since they've advertised it to be 3 mins which made it seem like the beast compared to the other phones but w/e.... we'll see

Hey clue, thanks for the info. I believe the july time frame as i have heard that from my manager buddy a while back. He did not know a specific date, just that "he was getting a motorola phone in july". Thanks again for sharing the information, its really hard to tell what's legit and what's not. This message board had gotten so convaluted (sp?) with crap i had just about given up on it. Its nice to see it coming back into what it was meant for... a place for information on the 710.
Here's my question(s): will the external display say "verizon wireless" the way the audiovox 8900 does or will it be the clock? does the external display stay on or does it have to be turned on like the LG 6k? And finally, are you able to store vid...

Seems to me that's the #1 main reason for the flash card.

Ok, yes I mixed the company names up...Samsung...Audioviox....both I hate except for the a790....my bad. The phone IS in the user trial period....last part of the testing. The phone I have came with the generic light blue Moto box which included the phone, charger, battery (redesigned and white in color...not like the previous black batteries), manual (still says draft) and belt clip (charcoal grey). I'm still getting to know the phone so I don't know about flashing LEDs...this phone's flash uses all 3 LEDs at the same time, solid not flashing blinking or anything else. And I'm posting the exact Openwave version...6.2.3 (phonescoop is listing 6.2). I would give you the ESN on this phone...but well you know....lets just say it starts with...

First off, I am no fan of Verizon. I've always thought they were technologically backward for such a successful wireless company. They have a great network and they KNOW it. The term "resting on their laurels" comes to mind.
They let others try out new technologies and then act after they see what has staying power. A good plan, from a certain point of view.
Being a gadgety person myself, that is FRUSTRATING as is waiting this long for Bluetooth.
That said... I do like that they are testing it thoroughly. Problem is that if there are any issues, there will be NO excuses. They’ve had their time; I hope it’s worth the wait!
I had a friend with the Mot 720 and it was a nightmare, though my LGV4400 had hardware issues too (spec...

Verizon needs to stay competitive. Lord help them if a competitor starts to get more towers going.

The problem is, it's not *just* about more towers.
The big thing to understand is that there are only 2 sections of the 900 MHz band -- A and B. The 1900 MHz band (PCS) has more sections available, but it doesn't go through walls and trees as well. In most markets, Verizon has one of them.
Now, the thing is, ATTWS/Cingular do have a lot of the other 900 MHz band, but generally the 900 MHz band is tied up in a TDMA network, not GSM. They are beginning the long-term process of moving *all* of their TDMA customers over to GSM and all of their GSM customers who have older GSM phon...
