I've been hearing some big knocks against this phone...can somebody verify if they are true or not?

photos taken with the v710 are subpar, battery life sucks, external screen is bad, mp3 playback/ringers don't work, and that this won't be a truly bluetooth phone...?

if these are mostly true, then I think I'll just wait for the VX-8000. I'm not gonna be using bluetooth that much anyways.

thanks for your help.

its going to be released by verizon with a lot of the bluetooth features disabled, but people will hack or crack it like everything is figured out on howard forums... thanx to the people who like to help others 😁

Already out. The Motorola v600 (at AT&T Wireless and Cingular has been available since late March). GREAT little phone...had it a month for the trial period but took it back for lack of signal strength in my normal usage areas. My overall beef with ATT and the bluetooth is that internet access had to be via their...

I wouldn't count on anything else decent besides these phones to be coming out in the near future. Some of you are talking about waiting for the vx8000 and others. If its taking forever for these two phones(710 and 7000) to come out. I wouldnt expect anything else decent to come out for a while.
