Motorola V710
Bluetooth Questions about V710
Hey everyone, this is my first post here! Long time lurker and anxious Verizon customer and (beleaguered) Motorola loyalist waiting to replace my v120e with the v710.
I own a Palm Tungsten T3. It can send and receive pictures and mp3s (with a card) over Bluetooth.
I would love to know if it is possible to send a picture from my palm pilot to the v710.
Also, is it possible to send mp3 files from your computer (with a bluetooth adapter) to your v710?
Also, if I get the computer transfer connection, Is it possible to load Java games on the v710?
My current phone, the v120e, has this cool blue glow to it, but its really primitive.
Can someone explain to me the whole "Get It Now" feature on the advanced Verizon phones?
I'm ...

If history is any indicator, the phone will be limited (or "crippled" as you said) in that you will only be able to use GetItNow programs that you pay fees and airtime for from verizon.
With a little work, however, I am sure it will be able to circumvent those limitations and install things yourself via the data cable.

Ahh! The beauty of hacking 😁

Not through Bluetooth
Also, is it possible to send mp3 files from your computer (with a bluetooth adapter) to your v710?
Nope, data and file transfer profiles through Bluetooth have been disabled on the phone.
Also, if I get the computer transfer connection, Is it possible to load Java games on the v710?
No, especially since the 710 doesn't support Java.

Get It Now is a service offered by VZW that allows you to download and in...

My T3 does have a SD card slot. I guess I'll use that.
What about synching of contacts? That's a biggie for me too

That can't be done through Bluetooth. I do it using a $7 non-OEM Motorola data cable and Mobile Phone Tools.

How do you know this stuff? Do you actually have the phone?
If you goto Motorola's accessory page for the V710, you'll see Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 listed under connectivity and data kits.
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/hellomoto/experience ... »
When you goto Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 product specs, you'll see the following note about syncing.
"Sync capabilities are compatible with Microsoft Outlook Express (Contact sync only), Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 20002, Lotus Notes 5.0, 5.5 and 6.01."
I don't know if this link is still up (I can't look it at while I'm at work) but it's the back of the Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 flyer that "The Alchemist" posted on here. He got it at...

No I don't have the phone; but I am borderline obsessed with it and read pretty much everything that has to do with this phone, including people who have had the phone and pretty much told us everything there is to tell us about this phone. So most of my information is from other people's experiences with the phone.

Ah. I see. Lets see if we can find anyone that does have it can answer
If anyone actually has the phone, can they please help me out?

I can understand your distrust of information from anybody that doesn't have the phone but very few people have it and out of those people you have to find someone that did. I also have been reading everything posted about this phone, here on PhoneScoop, WirelessAdvisor, HowardForums, online articles, Motorola's web site, etc., going back to the FCC documents for the V710 that wer put on the FCC web site back in February.
If Motorola's own literature says that it's Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 software doesn't support connecting via Bluetooth with the...

I don't know if this is irrelevant or not, but today when i started the PhoneTools application (v2), a prompt for an automatic update came up, which updated me to v 2.21e. Now if i choose to connect to the phone with bluetooth it brings up a list of phones including the v710! Unfortunately I don't have the phone so i can't tell you for sure if it works or not. I'm hoping this update coincides with the release date for the phone being eminent.
Aside from that, I am really hoping that PhoneTools 3.0 will address some of the issues about connecting with the phone.

Actually, MPT's latest is 2.21f. I only used MPT 2.x for a week or little more and had 2.21e for over a week already.

I have a Sony Clie so I'm in the same boat as far as syncing contacts but I don't think it can be done through Bluetooth since the necessary Bluetooth profiles are not supported by the V710. I read that Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 supports syncing with Outlook so it looks like I'm going to have to synchronize my Clie with Outlook and the synchronize the V710 with Outlook using the USB cable. I may also start looking into some 3rd party software so that I can sync the phone directly with the Palm desktop like DataPilot (http://www.datapilot.com/productfeatures.htm ), SnapSync (http://www.futuredial.com/Products/P_SS.htm) or Intellisync (http://www.intellisync.com/is_phone_edition_ main.html).
...
You know, if you had a PocketPC, you would already be syncing with Outlook. 😛
...
OK, Outlook synching is what will really help. I use that all the time between outlook and my t3.
I was really just asking about Bluetooth synching just to see if it could be done. 😎

creanium said:...I surely hope that Moto/Verizon do NOT realase a crippled phone.
Unfortunately, it's being said that the Bluetooth capabilities of this phone have been crippled and the only things you can do with it are pair it with a headset/handsfree device, and use it for Dial-up networking profiles (whether through a PDA, laptop, or desktop). OBEX transfers and data sync aren't possible. I'm mostly concerned with the DUN profile working and being able to pair it with my iPaq and get online from anywhere. From what I've heard, it's entirely possible. It would have been nice to be able to do a data sync and copy my contacts to my phone via Bluetooth, but since I have a Motorola data ca
