Migrating PrePaid to PostPaid
Anyone have any experience with purchasing an A870 prepaid phone (say at Wal-Mart or similar) then activating it on a post paid (contract) account? I've heard mixed stories of mixed success. Any experts out there?
Re: V3 is a waste of money
$150 if you're a business customer. ;)
Re: Are Cingular GRPS settings universial?
The business unit from ATT is still selling them. If your company has discounts through Cingular you can get them for under $200.
Bluetooth: Yes HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Like this will EVER happen!
What happenend to the AMPS?
verizonwireless.com down?
Is it just my ISP, or is anyone else having trouble accessing verizonwireless.com? :?
How do they monitor tethering?
So I was reading the ATTWS website about their UTMS and they state:
"If you use your phone to connect to another device or computer via cable, Bluetooth or infrared, you will be charged $0.001 per KB or approximately $1/MB for data sent to or from your phone. You also will be charged $0.001 per KB if you remove the SIM card from your phone and use it to get wireless data service from another device or computer."
How do they ...
Would you like some picture with your lines?
Does anyone else have the horrible line pictures when the bluetooth is on?

Re: That's nothing
I've heard this will be a Cingular exclusive at first, but you could buy it through an importer (paying full price) and get a t-mo sim, if you can't wait.
That's nothing
CNET is saying the phone doesn't have stereo output? What's the point of having MP3 playback without being able to listen to them in stereo?
Re: Nov. 14th software update
Hate to bust your bubble but no matter how much you tweak the software, if the hardware is sub-par you're not going to improve things. Look at pictures taken with other recent Moto phones and you can see it's just the low quality CMOS sensors that Moto has chosen to use.

Re: WE ALL NEED TO COMPLAIN: HERES HOW
Why doesn't someone just code a BREW app that does what the missing OBEX should and beat Verizon at their own game? Hmmmm?
Go big

"South Korea's top mobile carrier, SK Telecom, said it would introduce 10-megapixel camera phones produced by Samsung by the end of this year."
-now, that's insane. :P
Re: Isn't this a little out of hand?
That doesn't look big at all, considering you're getting a full on digital camera, cam- corder and cell phone. Remember when we used to carry around the 5lb models? How quickly we forget. So uh, were can I get one? :)
Re: It's Official-V710 Release Date for USCC
Where exactly did you see this "official" press release?
Also US Cellular supports BREW as well so they are probably going to adopt the same stance Verizon has and prevent as much BREW work around as possible.

Re: Any Information???
What 6620 is that? I don't recall any variations having mega-pixel resolution?
Phone Finder Options
Hey Rich,
How about adding some options to search for mega-pixel camera phones, or search by camera sensor (for those that distinguish between CCD and CMOS)? What about being able to search for phones with specific Bluetooth profiles, for those phones that don't offer full Bluetooth functionality? Just some thoughts. Love the site! (It's hard to improve when you're the best.) Thanks! :wink:
Re: WHY IS THIS PHONE GETTIN SUCH BAD REVIEWS
Personally I'd wait and see which carrier offers the best package first. If Verizon fixes the Bluetooth then go with Verizon. If another carrier offers a similar phone with all the features working (aka: 7610, s700i, mpx220) then go with them. Unless you spend most of your time in the sticks then you'll get good coverage no matter what carrier you go with. It's your money, get what you want!
Camera Sensor
Does anyone know if the Camera is a CCD or CMOS sensor? I'm wondering if the pictures will be as "stunning" as the V710's? :roll:
Re: TRADE-IN your v710 for a LOUDER one!!!! They have some!!
You know what, this is reason everyone is complaining about this phone. Everyone keeps exchanging their phones at least 3 times over and the stores just resell them saying they're "new". It's not the phone is crappy it's just that there are a lot of broken phones being shuffled around.
Re: Cover clicks
I had that same TimePort and it clicked up a storm, from the beginning. My v60 did too. The click is normal on Moto phones. Don't worry.
Re: Firmware update?!
That's what they told me as well. I suggest you all e-mail them and post their replies.
Re: Camera Problems - Software Issue
That's kinda funny. CMOS sensors usually go through a burn in period, but this is normally done in assembly. Usually about 48 hours. Maybe you can keep getting a new phone ever few days and that'll keep your picture resolutions nice and crisp! :wink:
Re: Max OSX bluetooth
I've heard that Motorola is coming out with a firmware update that will fix Bluetooth functionality sometime early September. With that the phone might be worth all the trouble?
Re: just got a new hs820 from verizon for 51.99(25% off) try this link, hope it works
This is the Verizon EPP (Employee Purchase Program) website for companies that Verizon offers discounts too. If your company has an EPP agreement you get similar discounts on service and equipment.
Re: Alotta waiting for alotta nothing
If "quality" materials you want, why don't you try this little division of Nokia. Good luck with financing.

Re: No bluetooth file transfer working on V710! I need help!
I received a response from Motorola the other day about this:
-original message-
Thanks for contacting Motorola E-mail Support Division,
Regarding your question, the patch that Motorola is currently developing will be available as a courtesy to customers who own the V710. The upgrade would be available in Sept/04. The way it is going to be distributed has not been announced yet.
For further assistance please contact our Software Support division at 1-877-331-6456 directly at ext. 2237. Our operation hours are ...
Re: Where are our MPT 3.0 beta testers?
Nope, I don't buy it. Bluetooth is a standardized way of communicating wirelessly. It's built in layers. The DUN, Headset, and Handsfree profiles are all dependent on the Serial Port Profile. If the Phone Tools was coded correctly you should be able to transfer/synch between a computer and the V710(without updated firmware). Ten bucks says, Moto just updates Phone Tools and not the V710 thereby making people buy yet another Moto product.
So can anyone with a newer version ...
Where are our MPT 3.0 beta testers?
I remember somebody talking about MPT 3.11e release candidate testing. Has anyone out there with a beta version been able to get their Outlook calendar synch via bluetooth working with this release? Is this phone just going to be an expensive paperweight with respect to that?

Re: Verizon Corporate Discount? (clarification/more info)
I think it really depends on the agreement between the corporation and VZW. Ours ranges drastically from phone to phone. Anywhere from 0% up to 110%. The VX7000 for example is zero, so I don't imagine the v710 will be a great deal at first.
Re: Just got it, love it but....
Amazing that with all the "extra" testing Verizon supposedly did, a fault this basic was released to the public?
Re: File Transfer Disabled in Bluetooth
That's really encouraging! If you can get anything to Synch with Outlook, I'd really like to know.
Thanks! :)
Re: File Transfer Disabled in Bluetooth
Are you using the Motorola Bluetooth adapter with your PC? Their commerce site seems to think there shouldn't be any problems?

Base d on what others have been saying, I'm wondering if they've just locked out connecting via, "Non-Moto" products?
Re: The Functionality of Bluetooth regarding the Motorola v710
svenllr said:
OK, Bluetooth is Bluetooth (per the spec), so why doesn't my BT USB Kensington work for this? All I get is "Initializing..."
True you can't change the Bluetooth protocols but how Moto uses them is a whole different story. Plus they've only included three protocols on the phone so the other end of the connection (i.e. computer, PDA) will have to do all the real work. Not sure why the Kensington wouldn't at least connect though? Maybe that's ...

Re: Released Manual and Blutooth Options
DaleReeck said:
That may be the Motorola manual and may not necessarily have the Verizon modifications.
BUT that means the phone is most likely capable of using bluetooth to transfer all kinds of stuff from the computer and vice versa. Even if VZW puts a lock down on it, it won't be long before some comp sci major on an all night caffeine high hacks the phone OS and posts it for the world. This phone is just looking better and ...
Released Manual and Blutooth Options
So for those of you who have read the manual anyone else notice on pg. 23 where it says you can move video clips via bluetooth to other bluetooth enabled devices?
Re: this phone......
...is just pure sex!
I haven't seen anything this revolutionary since the Nokia 88s came out.
