Motorola V710

I've been keeping an eye out on this forum with respect to the Verizon limiting the Bluetooth capabilities on this phone. As a result, I gathered that they have turned off the feature that would allow one to synchronize this phone with personal contacts on their PC/Laptop? If this is correct, can someone please confirm that this capability will be enabled once the firmware update is complete?

Is Motorola just offering Mobile Phonetools for customers who do not have bluetooth compatible hardware? Does anyone know if there is anything that Mobile Phonetools can do that bluetooth cannot?
