I Have Phone - TF Question Using MP3's

I have the phone and I really like it, the only concern would be the camrea like most are saying. For anyone who has the phone and the TF card, how do you at least get the m to appear on your phone using a mac. I have the card in the computer nad it recognizes it and I had previously put the card into the phone and formatted it so there are many subfolders in the TF card. I have put it in man of the differnet folders on the cards( mp3s that is) but when i put them into the phone and chane the storage device it just doesnt let me open up the sounds menu. One time I put a few MP3s into the "mms" folder in the disk and it worked on my phone but i pressed end and it did not work from that point on,I have tried that again a few times but stil...

Pricing issue - Is it definitely cheaper at VZW store if you have Newevery2?

I have new every 2 b/c I have been using this crap heap of a phone - T720 for about 2 1/2 years now.

With a one year contract I understand it is $319 minus $70 rebate which is the $249 RS price...but then if you have new every two do you also get a $100 credit off this price? So final price of $149? Can someone confirm this for me? I don't mind waiting 9 days to save $100, but my T720 is heading towards the garbage can very quickly...

RS & Early Upgrades

I spent the greater part of my morning at RS trying to upgrade my phone. Apparently you can only upgrade and not early upgrade from RS only VZW which sucks considering they don't have the phone. I spoke to a sales rep and he said due to the possible software upgrade the V710's are getting, the release might not be until the end of August.

Phone firmware update in 60 days

I just spoke to a Motorola customer service rep and he said the problem with the phone syncing with USB or blue tooth is a known problem and they are aware of it and there will be a firmware release with in 60 days. 👿 !!!!!! He said he understood my frustration and it could be released next week. Yeah Right!!!!! Verizon is aware of this and they will be doing the update. So heads up if you are waiting to buy the phone. you may want to wait a little longer.

Should I or shouldn't I??

With some of the problems I'm reading about the V710 here, I'm wondering if I should wait to buy it when they fix these problems. I wanted to get it right away so I could take advantage of the special offer by Motorola if you're one of the first 710 to register the phone. I have the first T720 that Verizon released, and saw how much in price it came down as time went, and how they released the T730, which is basically the same phone but with certain problems fixed (I assume). I'm not really concerned about the price, but more if they release an improved version later? So, should I get it or not? (and don't tell me no so you can get the free headset/speaker!!LOL!)

Any way to change external display?!

The external display is pissing me off for two reasons:

1) When someone calls and you have a picture stored with them it shows up SUPER tiny on the external display. I want it to fill up the whole display with text overlayed.

2) I hate these stupid backgrounds, I want to add my own custom picture that I either took or sent to my phone (via email since the bluetooth is working SOOOOO well right now).

Any ideas?

Hey guys. I am selling my brand new V710 I purchased at Radio Shack this past Thursday. I have only charged the bettery 3 times, and it is in immaculate condition. Please e-mail me for info. I am in Southern Westchester New York, and can also ship. I am Selling:

Phone has original packaging and has hardly been used. I am putting this info here before I post on ebay. I will sell phone separate. This is a great deal for someone under contract w/ Verizon as I don't plan on making money - just getting my money back. Less than $514. Send me an email w/ any questions.

MacOS users- let Apple know you have a 710

Apple provides an iSync feedback page:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/isync.html »

Let them know you have a v710 and would like iSync to support it.

I'm a bit disturbed that Verizon has chosen to disable the generic Sync profile in the Bluetooth (assuming that the 710 supports it natively, which is almost certain) and, had they left it enabled it would have (likely) worked out of the box. Alas, Verizon will be Verizon.

They currently provide sync support via serial/usb (like on my old POS 720) and, using PhoneTools with my PC I was able to mirror my old 720 phonebook / calendar easily, so if the Bluetooth - serial link works OK they should be able to make things work.

Bluetooth

Hey,

I have this phone and I'm trying to sync this with my Outlook contacts (and calendar if possible). I have both a D-Link bluetooth adapter, which allows the phone to go through my computer for voice calls through my computer, like a wireless headset, but does not give me the option to sync. In addition, I have an old USB cable for my T720/T730, which recognizes the phone, but does not have the USB driver.

Any suggestions how I can get my contacts (200+) into my phone without having to manually reenter them? Will Verizon sync my new with my old?

Thanks,

Dave
