Motorola V710
Bye bye Verizon
I keep my phones for usually about 2 years or more. Ive had my v60c since it came out until I got the v710 and had a startac before the v60. The hype surrounding this phone was fun, and I expected a decent phone to do what a phone should do, make good calls. It does this great, however, I paid a lot of money for a phone that doesn't really doesnt do the other things its supposed to do very well at all.
Who to blame?
Verizon?
--- Hmm, I am not sure if we can blame verizon for this blunder. However, I can blame them for not looking at this phone with such an oversight as the earpiece being badly designed. This has been an issue for previous phones from motorola... v120!! Verizon needs to hire some of the fellow forum geeks out t...

All good points, it will be interesting to see the responses and how both Verizon and Motorola respond via the phone itself. I am keeping my phone, but I appreciate your points.

GSM--
I think GSM is partly to blame here, GSM capable phones are the MOST POPULAR IN THE WORLD. Using this logic, obviously much more money is spent on GSM phones than T/CDMA.

WHATS YOUR TAKE?
Wanting a Bluetooth flip phone since last fall, I bought a v600 (ATT Wireless) the day it came out. My main desire for bluetooth was dial-up connectivity for my iPAQ and laptop when needed.
ATT had dial-up, but charged extra. That was one reason I took it back. The MAIN reason for taking it back was almost ZERO reception in my apartment, and I'm literally 300 yards from the big university here in Binghamton. 5 bars of GSM on campus, sometime NO SERVICE in my living room. Even outside...

Mike,
I agree with you. Except for GSM being far off. I feel that 2-3 years and you will see a major improvement on GSM networks. I also think we will see another consolidation of wireless carriers... ahem T-Mobile...

GSM is an inferior technology to CDMA. Kinda like beta was better than VHS, but one has more support than the other. GSM is the dominant technology (more providers) right now, but CDMA has far better coverage. We'll see what happens when WCDMA comes out. I guess its financial why GSM is supported by more providers. I think the CDMA network may have more subscribers, just fewer providers of the service. I do not have any statistics just what I think I have read in several places.
