Motorola V710
I'm Back On The Fence With This One
I'll admit I have not touched one yet but from some of the first impressions I read here, this may not be what I was expecting for a "flagship" handset. Things like low earpiece volume, flaky screens, sub-par camera, plastic-feeling buttons, and Bluetooth issues...
Too bad the User Reviews won't go live until VZW officially releases it because I'd like to see some more of the pro & con lists most reviewers make.
You guys really dig into these things and I can sense the disappointment after day-1. SOme of the problems are user learning curve but the build quality & camera quality turn me away.
Does the battery door feel cheap like the T730/720 model?
Maybe I'll wait for the V265 or just stay with LG and settle for the 7000.

I have an idea. Why don't you wait till the Moto 3000 comes out. I hear it has a tissue despencer. I generaly don't get my reviews from people who shop at Radio Shack.

the build is beautiful and the camera is fine. and no, the back is very sturdy. this phone meets the hype.

But I'm sure you're here reading all about the 710's they bought at Radio Shack- right?
I don't like the specs on the 3000--you can't change the tissue dispenser while on a call.

In all fairness, I don't buy stuff from Radio Shack in general, but I bought the phone b/c of the situation. My phone (V60) has been dying a slow, painful death, and today was my lucky day, period. So to suggest that any of the people reviewing the 710 purchased via Radio Shack are somehow less competent to review the phone than someone who opted to wait 12 days and buy from a store down the street is sort of ridiculous.
As for MegaBit's disappointment or doubt over this product, I don't blame him; it's a good phone, but it's not the end-all, be-all that some of us might have hoped for. Personally, I'm just glad to have a working phone that has a clean, legible display, and working BT. The camera, IMO, is sort of irrelevant, exce...
