First, to those who think AT&T might not want this apparent iPhone competitor, remember that this is not 3G. The new iPhone will sell but the AT&T 3G coverage is still only in major metropolitan areas. That leaves HUGE portions of the customer base either buying up recirculated 1st gen iphones or buying the new one and paying the higher data rates even though there is no 3G signal. Plus, the iPhone still lacks a long ...

Re: I did the NE2 for a v3m from a V710
There are several ways to get ringers onto the V3m. Read through this thread:
http://www.howardforums.com/showth read.php?t=934864
Of all the approaches, I highly recommend going the the Mark Venture "how to" pages and look for the instructions for the V3c. He clarifies about 3c vs. 3m and offers step by step instructions for just about anything and everything you might want to do with your phone. I chose to use the email to phone approach. It is easy ...
Re: Can you get ringers?
There are several work arounds. Most are more than I wanted to do. They include seem edits, flash, MPT, voice recording and file overwrite. But frankly, as I read through all of that, I realized that I only had about 12 and at $0.25 for each email, my twelve would cost me $3.00 and that my time was worth more than the three bucks.

Any INFORMED guesses as to when we can get a real look at this one?
Re: Outlook datebook and contacts
I bought the VZW kit and it did not really "sync" with outlook. Unless it has changed during the last year, it was a spreadsheet-like program that would import your outlook contacts and then sync from their software to your phone. Basically it was a two step sync via their software instead of a direct one click sync. Motoroal MPT is a true sync. After buying both and comparing, I returned the VZW. I had ...
Re: v710 lawsuit
Thanks, I had seen the HoFo post last month and the vzw link is still not working. I do appreciate your effort to help.
Re: v710 lawsuit
Hi Gang,
Been off the forum for awhile and have not really followed this issue. For the most part, I am happy with mine. I have NOT changed the software/firmware, have a good keypad and great reception. I can still load mp3s for ringers and have not attempted any hacks. I have 2 regular batteries and the desk charger so I run each all the way down and then switch. Both seem to be suffering ...
Re: Anyone know the release date for the HS850 headset in the US.

Try these two links:
http://blueheadsets.zoovy.com
http:/ /getyourtech.com
I may be mistaken but I think blueheadsets gives a replacement warranty. Posts in HoFo indicate Moto will not support the 850 here in the U.S. because it is not officially released here. Bluehead... is not the cheapest but if I were gonna buy one, I'd probably pay the extra $10 or whatever to have the comfort of warranty.
just my $0.02
Rich - anything exciting in BT headsets?
From reading forum posts, I have concluded SE HBH300 possibly has the best sound of what is out now.
Anything at the show, with immediate future availability, that might offer the HBH300 some compition?

Re: Mobile Office Kit and Mobile Phone Tools
MPT is MUCH better for Outlook sync. I have not used my phone as a modem (ask phonephreak04) and from threads I have read, MPT will not edit or load images/rings. TF is easiest for images/rings. With the moto cable that comes with both MPT or MOK, I have read that you can free download BitPim (search here and HoFo) and edit files and even remove the stock images and rings.
I bought MOK (for V710) and it ...
Re: Desktop Charger
When this was announced on HoFoi last week, everyone tryiong to order found the web site very slow - like 20+ minutes to complete a single unit order. Now, posts all indicate only the front half arrived. The unit supposedly includes 2 pieces (front for the phone - which reportedly accommodates leather case and extended battery) and a rear piece for a spare battery (yes, with the correct contacts). However, all posts so far indicate units ...
Re: transFLASH transfer - PS
BTW - step 15 is only necessary if you email the tones to your phone. If you use TF, you can leave the MP3 format. At least this is according to what I have read in posts. I have never emailed to my phone. All of my ringers are in MP3 format.
Re: transFLASH transfer
itunes is free download and works with PC & MAC. I have posted the following before and it came from another post (July) on HoFo:
1. Open iTunes and select your "Library."
2. Right-click on a song you would like to use as a ringtone and select "Get Info"
3. In the newly opened window click on the "Options" tab.
4. Check the boxes to the left of "Start Time:" & "Stop Time:"
5. Enter a "Start Time:" and a "Stop Time:" ...
Re: M y Headset review.
So if you want to save a message (assuming there is only one) You short press the headset button to disconnect? And if you want to save one in a list of more than one you must open the phone and press "9"?

i have my voice mail programmed with a wait then 77 so i can delete messages with the side button on the phone -- the headset will do the button press if you do a long press of the function button
this goes for pin numbers programmed in or anything

so I called *611 last night and got them to send me a "NEW" V710 as opposed to a FRU - just took a little convincing. But my question is - do the new units have any change to the software or is it strickly a camera fix? I have heard (rumors, rumors) that the new software update may disable file transfer from the transflash card. Has anyone with one of the new V710 units ...
Re: Ringing?
Sorry you are having difficulty. I just re-verified it on mine. I set a specific mp3 ringer for my home phone. Then I called my cell from my home phone to verify the ringer ID. Then I opened the flip and pressed the down volume button on the left side of the phone down to "vibrate". I then called my cell again from my home and the cell vibrated.
I read another post, about ...
Re: Ringing?
That setting is for general incoming calls. Specific ringer IDs over-ride the general ringer setting as they would whatever ring tone you have set for the general incoming calls.
If you are in a meeting, class, etc and need the phone to ONLY vibrate - simply open the flip and press the down volume (ring style) to zero (which will say "vibrate"). All incoming will vibrate. then, later when you want the phone to ring, simply reverse ...

Re: Sprint, Cingular/ATT or Verison. NO VERIZON CUSTOMER REPS!
Not A VZW rep. I work from home in rural AZ and have absolutely nothing to do with the cellular industry.
As I said, I understand your frustration. I also mentioned that I strongly disagree with many of VZW managerial policies and decisions. I know VZW chose to cripple the BT. I also know that they try to force GIN. I also know that I can think of at least 100 different (and better) managerial ...
Re: Sprint, Cingular/ATT or Verison. NO VERIZON CUSTOMER REPS!
Special Ed,
I have read your other posts about VZW. I can appreciate you are unhappy. I offer you try to step back from the issue and look at it fresh. The level of satisfaction vs disappointment with the v710 is completely a function of 2 points: a) what features you use and b) if you received a problematic handset.
Overall, VZW customer service is the best of any cellular company (at least in my experience). Granted, ...
Re: new phone options
1) you are re-raising an issue that is over 2 weeks old? What possible good or positive could ever come from re-raising a non-productive issue.
2) In the time it took me... you have just spent almost as much time as I did to re-raise the issue with no possible gain to anyone and absolutely zero contribution to this forum.
3)As long as you bothered to read one post and re-raise it from two weeks ago to attempt to ...
Re: the new v710's they fix camera but kill other thing. now for picture ID the photo has to be on p
I have not tried it (so I cannot verify it) but there are posts in HoFo that claim VZW store reps can/will remove those images for you. Also posted in HoFo are detailed instructions on how to remove them yourself. Those instructions have been posted for at least a couple of months. Do a search over there.
nuclearelephant.com may have intructions too.
Re: moto 850
Looking forward to your comments after you play with your new 850! I WANT the turn off and quick pair-up because with the V710, you need that to hear the phone ring. I will never use a headset enough to justify keeping it on to hear a ring beep. For me, a purchase would be somewhat of a toy and to experiment with BT. I certainly have no need for it but the new noise ...

Re: moto 850
I've been watching for the 850. Where did you get (order) it? Price? Others I have spoken to seem to like the 820 over the 810 but this new noise canceling feature has me intrigued enough to try a BT headset. I don't care about the LCD but both inbound and outbound (as sounds to other party) sound quality is important to me. If I understand correctly, the 810 and hopefully the 850 with ...
Re: Rintones, Wallpaper and MP3
If you have a TF and using PC, you could simply right click on a wallpeper, click "save picture as" and then transfer it to the TF.
Re: Mobile Office or Phone Tools?
This has been addressed many times. Do a search here and over in HoFo. If all you are interested in is contacts, VMO will work. It is not a true sync. It reads Outlook and places them into its own spreadsheet. Then you can download them to your phone and from your phone to the spread sheet. VMO also lets you connect to a laptop for using your phone as a modem.
MPT does ...
Re: PST and software upgrade

Re: The Word from Moto RE: v710 and HS810/820
Not sure but feel confident that I read moto 600 rings with bt headsets. I think that guy was wrong because as far as I have read, this issue is not just 810/820 but also applies to Plantronics, logitech, jabra, etc. I am not one to speak on this issue because I have not yet purchased any BT - just read many posts. I'm kind of waiting to see what the flash brings and also anxious ...
Re: Alternate v710 software now available
Food for thought:
That thread specifically advises against attempt for people inexperienced with flash process. It may be fine for those that know seem altering computing but the average person... Additionally, it is also stated (by a VZW independent tech) that such a flash will more than likely void your warranty. Finally, the moto/vzw flash is still somewhat of a rumor, I would guess that if/when such flash comes out - it is likely to address the ...
Re: MPT 3.11 still not working
Have you looked this up in HoFo? I KNOW there are people over there that have sp2 and MPT and get the two to work together. I know there are some issues and I have been postponing the sp2 download while I monitor this issue and await a possible update to MPT.
I am using 2.21f and xp with sp1. If you have a new comp w/sp2 - I suggest you go search on HoFo.
Re: MPT 3.11 still not working
2.0 when updated thru "live update" to 2.21f pairs with v710 nicely (assuming you have the drivers). I cannot speak authoritatively about laptop pairing for use as a modem (have not done that, no laptop at present) but I can tell you that many over in HoFo have posted success - as a modem, not BT file transfers. You might want to go do a search in howardforums.com and limit the search to the "temproary v710 discussion" ...
Re: new phone options
I was being nice! I wrote much worse and cleared twice. There are over 500 pages of posts here and over 200 user reviews. Issues like calendar sync have been discussed to death. I did not want to flame but I and many others here are happy to help people with what we have learned. It is just really annoying when people can't be bothered to take one minute and look for the answer ...
Re: new phone options
1) have you run "live update" as differentiated from "update" to at least version 2.21f?
2)are you sure you have the v710 driver? It does not come with MPT at least not up to version 2.21f. The driver may or may not be in version 3.11.
If you still have questions, go to Howardforums.com and do a search for mobile phone tools, mpt, and/or outlook sync and limit the search to the "temporary v710 discussion" under the verizon forum. ...
Re: new phone options
Yes it does. Read the thread (yes, THIS thread), do a search. This has been covered so many times.
My guess is if your TV remote broke, you'd watch whatever was on the current channel because you are probably too lazy to get up and change the channel OR go out and get a new remote!
There is a search field at the bottom of the page - you will type a two or three sentence question post but ...
Re: new phone options
The v710 phone has some issues, the real question is will those issues affect your use. They do NOT affect mine and I love the phone. I do not care about bluetooth but I might try a headset. The cam is not bad considering it is a phone. Every other phone cam I have seen takes much worse pics but that does not mean that this one is best. It is a phone, if ...
Re: key lock
Instead of putting your phone in vibrate mode (which as you have learned lets ringer IDs ring through), just lower ringer volume to zero which IS vibrate and all calls will vibrate - try it! Then just raise volume after your meeting/work, etc.
To do this, just open phone and then press the down volume on the side of the phone to zero and screen will show vibrate. Same in reverse to raise it.
