Motorola V710

For all of those like me who are just tired of mindless discussion and want to figure out how to get the most out of there phone, I suggest they come to http://www.v710.org it is just starting out but help us post any info you have on the phone, tips tricks or what ever here!

Is there a way in digit dial to say star/asteric ---> * ?

Hi, I live in Alabama and used to work for Motorola in Birmingham. Two of my friends still work there and say that Verizon has cancelled or suspended their second run order for this model. This is probably going to cause shortages of this phone if that info proves to be true. I would not recommend this phone to anyone but if it is something you feel you really want regardless of the quality you might want to get one quickly. I am a fan of motorola products but this one just falls short in my opinion. Luckily I was able to get cust. service to agree to allow me to return this phone even though I am outside my 15 day trial. They said they would give me the benefit of the doubt since Verizon is aware of so many problems and the phone has such a...

Does it come with AIM Instant Messanger. Like The VX Did ????

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THAT OBEYMEMOTO VOICE COMMAND IS ON THE A840 AND DOES THE 710 HAVE IT?

Just got the combo from vzw. Followed instructions and got the bt device discovery set up fine. Was able to make a couple of calls with the HS820 but after using my Etycom wired earpiece with the 710 once, the HS820 refuses to work.

Still listed as bt device in the v710 but all I get is one low tone or one hi tone when trying to connect with the HS820.

Can anybody suggest a fix? I'm about ready to return the HS820 as I'm at a loss.😢
Thanks, captmas

Can someone recommend a good screen protector for the inside display? Radio Shack?

why do people post their reviews (under user reviews) more than once!!!??? it is making the ratings lower!!

I took my transflash card and put it into my SD slot on my laptop... I dragged and copies about 30 MP3s, but could only pull up 16 on the phone's MP3 player... i checked the free space and it said I still had about 20 megs left... anyone know why I can't play all the MP3s i loaded onto the transflash on my phone, and just a select few???

Does anybody else have the problem when the phone is left idle for a while and someone calls the caller id doesnt show unless you press a button. This is usually only happening from a blocked call. Any feedback would be appreciated

To get into the GPS, you first have to set your phone into test mode, which is done under the programming menu. after you set it in test mode press menu then the top left button (.) and you will get a screen with tower information, hit next until you get a screen with press the down key to launch a GPS session. press down, and you will get your GPS info, to exit out press menu then the top left button (.)

has anybody recieved there radioshack rebate yet????? or is it still to early?????

I've been told there are phones that have a dual NAM configuration - which allows you to effectively have 2 phone numbers on the same phone (handy).

I've not been able to get much technical information about the v710 -- but I seem to recall a setting "Add a line" or something in there.

Can anyone tell me if the v710 is a dual-NAM capable phone?


Thanks.

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?

Go to walmart.com and search for any disc/song you want. Just right click on the sample song to save it on your own drive. Rename it and send it to your phone. They are already only 30 seconds long... It's works perfect

First..I'm still waiting for my transflash card :-)
I have noticed that some ring tones I send to my phone change the ext. from .mid to .midi which the phone does not understand. I have sent the same ring several times and it still renames itself with that .midi extension.
Any ideas? I have sent several other ring tones with no problem.

I am hoping someone has info on this. I am using the V710 to connect to the internet via bluetooth from a Pocket PC. As per a thread on this forum, I am using #777 as the dial-up number, my mobile#@vzw3g.com as the user name, and vzw as the password. It connects, however it seems to be at the 14.4 speed and not the faster express network speed. Verizon's tech support didn't seem to think that you could select between the 2 services. If anyone has some info, I would appreciate it.

Someone has mentioned Moto's promotion for v710, that is supposed to be over by the end of July. What is the promotion? 😎
