Motorola V710
The v710 review VZW please read!
Written after I hear again that Verizon Wireless has no plans to update Bluetooth capabilities☹️
I think the basic functions are excellent. This phone has so many features that other phones don't have.

Yeah, it's cool that I can use the headset, but how many people would have bought this phone if they knew that Verizon Wireless intentionally crippled the majority of the Bluetooth capabilities. I bought this phone to sync with my car.... Can I????? No... Why??? Because Verizon says its a "security risk". Let's get a little real. You can use a password or individually turn off the Bluetooth funct...

Question for anyone. When this little tidbit first surfaced about two weeks ago, I read what I believe was the original online source of this "Verizon said this" and it had ZERO authenticiy to it. I for one do not beleive it's true that that is what Veriaon officially said and that someone just conjured i...

When they pull stuff like this, they are only chipping away at their client base. It will catch up with them sooner or later!

It seems to reason that Verizon's motivation for crippling the v710's functionality stems in part from the former's interest in preserving full royalty streams from its 3rd party resellers, who market their products through Verizon's wireless "Get-It-Now" network. Verizon apparently is achieving ...
