Motorola V710

Anybody confirm if you can shoot 3 min of continuous video?

Ok here is what you do...

Get something very sharp and chop off the black box by cutting on both sides of it.

Now you will see a shatload of silver wires, the do nothing so cut off quite a bit of the rubber and pull those ×××× wires back. Do this on both sides.

You should see some silver foil. Unwrap this on both sides and you should see a lot of wires on the side that plugs into your phone and four wires on the USB part (red, white, black, and green).

Now you need to strip all of the wires on the USB side of your cable.

USB pin 1 (red) - v600 pin 6 (Purple)
USB pin 2 (white) - v600 pin 5 (Grey)
USB pin 3 (green) - v600 pin 4 (Blue)
USB pin 4 (black) - v600 pin 1 (Brown)


(don't strip the whole wire, just enough t...

id like to find a nice and cheap one! 😉

I called around today and found out that only one Radio Shack in Phoenix, Arizona got a shipment of just two V710s. They haven't sold either of them.

I drove over there to try it out. I knew I wasn't going to buy it because it's far too pricy from RS. Verizon works with the price a bit and you can put 250 of the total price on your Verizon bill which is nice as I won't have 500 in bulk at one time.

Anyway. The phone was really nice. The inside seemed to grease up pretty fast as I was messing wth a floor model that was filthy.

Personally, I thought the camera and video quality was better than most phones. Definately better than the Sony Ericsson T616 and the Samsung a670 that I have had recently.

The video feature is r...

My fellow v710 people. I just bought a v710 from RS in philly. I have one on hold at another store. email me if you want me to buy it for you. I love it. Its so cool and of course ive been obsessing for 6 months. I will be glad to hook someone up. At this point I will have to pay full price. Email me if interested. [email protected]

Can i sync the v710 up with outlook to get my calender on the phone? Also, I was in the verizon store in nanuet, ny and the manager said the phone should be there by monday, and it will start selling as soon as they get it. I dont know if thats true because verizon workers seem to know little about the company and/or the phones. Does anyone know about syncing the outlook calender though?

This was originally posted on my website, http://svenrox.com. More updates will be posted there along with a review soon, but I'll post the more "meaty" things here.

OK, I have to be quick, so here it is:

• Excellent sound quality. I mean excellent sound quality.


• Low sounding ear piece. It goes to 7 and should go to at least 9, if not 10.


• Brilliant color screen (main unit) and great color screen when closed.


• Amazingly accurate voice number and voice name dial.


• LOUD ringer. Loudest I've ever heard.


• Weak vibration and I mean weak.


• Feels great in your hand the keys feel great, too.


• The cursor (up, down, left, right) is a bit small and the OK button is

Will V710 work with BMW Bluetooth?

I'm looking for a new phone that will integrate with the retrofit kit for BMW 3-series that were built after 3/2002 and have navigation system.

Does anyone have any information about whether the V710 is compatible?

Thanks.

does anyone know if you can put photos on the outside screen?

Phone tools will connect and also provides the drivers for the 710 once you online update it to latest version..

Bottom line is it does not do much that I can see..

OK. Just picked up two V710's (the only two I know of in Austin) at RS in Highland Mall-Austin,TX.

VERY cool phone. I like it alot.

Pricing was as $349 for a 1 year contract renewal and a $70 rebate form (so $279 after rebate).

my local rs got only two in stock today bought the first one they have sold...policy as stated by rs employee about returns was 14 days to return 30 days to exchange.Pictures are what you would expect from a 1.2 meg and the other features I've played with so far are great..sound is clear, volume on ringer is loud, and..speakerphone is great..glad I got it ,glad I waited..only thing is they didnot have bluetooth head set... still so much to use and do with it..first impression is very good and I like the look and feel of the phone..guess it's whether you want a great phone or the perfect phone..(have'nt made that one let).. just my first thoughts...

I spoke to my Verizon rep today, and we should be seeing this phone in early August. He tells me the phones have finally (!) been shipped from Motorola (they are the ones who held up the process, btw), and it would be about a week after receipt. Once the phones are in the stockroom, they lose money every day - so they need to go on sale.

And from this link:

You can see more similar info and info about Radio Shack.

I hope all the idiots here who made the false claims have diarrhea for the rest of the year. They deserve it.

This phone will be in the Chicagoland VZW stores on August 11th. It will be $319.99 with a $70.00 MIR, according to my store manager.

I've been reading about a lot of people complaining about the volume of the earpiece in the handset speaker while on a call. I was wondering if any current V710 owners could comment on this? I currently have a T720 and I consider the call volume to be on the low side but acceptable. Is the V710 in call volume similar to the T720?

it says on the slip that they wont honor the upgrade wit hthe $70 mail in rebate, thats BS, i signed a 2 year agreement,and paid my money like everbody else!!! and new info??????

eng50: Thanks for posting the file for us! However, I get 2 garbage character display messages (some foreign language character set, I'm guessing) and then the installation terminates.

Someone mentioned that InstallShield is looking for a previously installed version of Phonetools. Did you already have that installed?

Thanks!

what bluetooth car kit performs the best with v710?

I need hi capacity batt and leather case for v710...Is 710 compatible with other motorola phone ?

about people saying that the pics arent better quality...you have to put them on your comp to judge...the pics will look the same as other phones cuz the screen resolution is probably around the same...it could also be a bad flash and thats why it doesnt work it the dark, but a 1.3 mp camera isnt that great anyways. if this is not the problem then i dont know what is but im getting this phone for the mp3's and speakerphone.
