Motorola V710

😁

Sorry my review wasn't better. Here is what I have on the phone so far:

-Great camera. Better than any other phone camera I've seen before.

-Bluetooth w/ headset is great. Being able to press a button and say "digit dial 5551212" or "Name dial Jim" and have the phone dial it is AWESOME. No voice training necerssary. You can also just say "voicemail" and have it dial *86 for you.

-Good call quality. I HATED my T730 for the fact the signal strength sucked. This phone definitely makes up for it.

-So far, OK battery life. I am a heavy user (on the road all day) so I will be looking for an extended battery regardless.

-Menus are FAST. You hit a button and the phone does it. Total opposite of the painfully S L O W T730.

Someone, no names mentioned, said there was a charge for using the bluetooth on the v710.
For the most part 90% of you out there knew already that was BS, for anyone who still has a doubt, let me say this.
The use of bluetooth, occurs from the phone to whatever bluetooth device is used, verizon, at&t, cingular, nextel, tmobile, no vendor, no manufacturer, now will ever attempt to charge for this feature which occurs at the hardware level, from the handset to the bluetooth device. Anyone who would post otherwise simply needs to have my size 13 firmly inserted into there hieney.
And please dont come back with "ohh they charge for the pics service", this has nothing to do with that.
Thanks all, and for those who already have the v71...

😁 The last two times I purchase phones from Verizon they had promotion deals at the time of my phone purchase. With Verizon sales folks reading these messages and the sale of the phone about 10 days away I figured they would know if any special pricing was available on the following:

Transflash cards
Bluetooth 820 Headset
Extended Life battery
cases or belt clips

The last 2 times they were willing to give my $10 off the extended battery.

So for those in the know do you have any information to share.

Thanks

I am a vzw employee and the phone is not available to us yet. It is also not on any of our websites, but it appears it is for sale at Radio Shack right now. Any date for our stores? I have heard the 11th...

so once you have the tf card and you move an mp3 from your cpu to your phone, will you be able to designate that mp3 as a ringtone? so in essence, could i make anything that i have in mp3 format on my computer a ringtone? explain please

V710 USERS:

1) As an owner of a 2004 Lexus LX470 and a recently purchase Motorola V710 I have finally had a chance to see how the two integrate with each other. Overall I am impressed, expect for one major issue...

When receiving an incoming call there are no audible alerts whatsoever. A) On the vehicle, the telephone window pops up on the navigation screen, detailing caller information and allows the driver to accept or decline the call. There is however, NO audible alert or ring-tone produced by the vehicle. B) When locked into bluetooth mode, the V710 goes absolutely silent. NO keypad OR ring tones. This has been a problem particularly when standing outside of my vehicle (within bluetooth range - while the vehicle is turned on). Whe...

Is going threw Get it now the only way we can get ringtones or our there other places we can get them????? I want Lean Back by Terror Squad and I can't find it ☹️

My friends phone is gone. he was playing with get it now and the phone died. it won't turn back on even with car charger plugged in. it just sits there and flickers on for like .5 sec then off for a while. Its got to be broke . Any other let us know. and if any one has any ideas to bring it back to life let me know. He has already taken out the battery and put it back in to no avail. Thanks for any help

I had an experience and last night and I was wondering if anyone could provide any insight?

I purchased the V710 at RadioShack. I asked for the insurance. I went to the VZW store next door to make sure it was added. He said no but that he could add it if I had the receipt. I showed him the receipt and he was about to add it and a coworker stopped him and told him that since it was purchased at RadioShack, VZW wont cover it.

I then called 611 and asked them to add it. And they said I was all set.

Who was right?

Does the Transflash adapter come with the card on ecost.com. I see it is cheaper than any other website around.

What are the options for transfering things between your PC and the V710?

-Bluetooth?
-Cables from Verizon?
-Memorory card and reader?
-Get it Now?

Any options would be greatly appeciated. Thank you.

Does anyone know where to get a fitted leather case for the V710? If so, where?

Found a Yahoo Group...

Since I am not a techno geek... is anyone going to join the group and upload ringers, screen saver, etc that we can all borrow???

I have tried several times to select bluetooth, then select hands free, then look for devices, phone starts to scan but never finds any devices. Whats going on??


Thanks

I believe there is a software glitch when 1) using the screen saver with the phone unplugged, 2) screen blacking out when plugged in.

1) With the screen saver off, your display will stay on as long as your current "display timeout" setting.

With the screen saver on, your display will only stay on as long as the screen saver delay setting plus the backlight setting.

For example, if your backlight setting is 50s and your screen saver delay is 1 minute, the display shuts off after 1 minute 50 seconds (assuming your display timeout setting is at least 2 minutes). If backlight setting at 50 seconds, screen saver setting at 5 minutes and display setting at 10 minutes, display goes black at 5 minutes 50 seconds.

If so, the screen saver...

I found this on MOTO FAQ

I've been able to get MPT to get pass the initialization with Bluetooth by manually pairing as a modem and telling MPT to use serial. Be advised it takes a while and I still can't sync but it seems closer

Ok, I will be trying this myself in a few days when I get my Moto E310 for my cricket service, but thought I would see if anyone else has already tried.

I have the HS810 and it works fabulously with the V710, however I have and use two phones throughout the day.

When I get my e310, I have the DC600 BT adapter and want to use the BT headset with both phones? Does anyone know if this can be done? At least for incoming calls?

I am guessing it probably won't work, but you never know until you try.

Thanks for any feedback anyone can provide.

I was in a VZW store in NJ yesterday and one of the salesmen said that the 710 "had problems" and would not be released for 3 months! I told him that it was going to be released on 8/11 and he said, "Where'd you hear that, on Phone Scoop?"

I have no personal opinion about this, I am just passing it along! I hope he is incorrect.

I got this on EBAY a while ago for my T720 (never used it) it came w/software w/ringtones that I couldn't get to work. Will this work w/my V710? Also is there enough room to add 1 MP3 for ringtone???? w/out the TF card?

Post City/State only if you have the V710
