I think it's perfectly fine for people to assume that the bluetooth on this phone allowed for them to transfer files.
Anytime people rest on thier own assumptions they have no one to blame but themselves when they are incorrect.
It boggles my mind how much our society has devolved into a culture of no personal responsibility for our actions.
What i can't figure out.... If you are the type of person that this particular bluetooth function is so important to you that you would sue VZW when the feature isnt there.... how in the world do you purchase the phone, have 15 days to test it out and make sure it does all you need it to do with the ability to get a *full refund* if it doesn't..... and you don't check this feature?
And after all this, it's Verizon Wireless' fault?
Huh?
That's my bet!
In responce to VOLVORacr's post, if that was the case you could fight it in store and still receive the refund with out an ETF.

That makes this suit very similar to the McDonalds coffee case. The fact that there was no attempt to tell the customer that the coffee was hot.
Should they tell them that the phone could be effected by the laws of gravity if you let go of it? Is coffee being hot not common sense?

I'm not defending Verizon for misleading customers, but as a T-Mobile dealer, I have had experience with the BlackBerry 7100t. It has the same crippled OBEX file transfer. The difference is that they include a USB cable that does support OBEX to a PC and email that can transfer any file anywhere. No T-Mobile customers seem to care but maybe because it is explained to them before they purchase it. Yup, I just figured it out. That's the difference.
Totally, because going into a vwz store (as I did) and being told it would work (as I was) is misleading. As I have said on other posts I don't care if the person who told me was dumb or deceptive they still gave out bad info.
Now I didn't bu...

I just can't believe people are here supporting Verizon. I remember when this phone came out they said you could connect it to your computer, and I wanted one myself. I think it's perfectly fine for people to assume that the bluetooth on this phone allowed for them to transfer files. There isn't anything telling you different about it. Verizon knew exactly what they were doing. They knew if they said it couldn't sync with you computer they wouldn't sell many of these handicapped phones. I'm sure not a single sales rep told anyone it dind't work. Verizon is finally getting what they deserved. I'm am canceling my account with them tonight and eating the ETF. I'm tired of there BS. I have a AWS/Cingular acciount

As for me joing the "bandwagon"
The reason I joined Verizon was because I liked the LG VX 6000. My friend had one and I fell in love. It's the only reason I joined, and i regret it whole heartedly

Ha! You're a pathetic little loser. I never said anything about me buying the phone. As a matter of fact, i read the review here and found out it didn't have it either. The fact is you shouldn't have to research the internet. Verizon should have had it somewhere in writting. Which they didn't. Then they advertised it saying it could connect to your computer. Knowing they'd be misleading people bvy doing so. It's just bad buisness, and I'm out before they can find a way to screw me over too.

while we are on legal matters, I dont mean to be a stickler, but vzw's contract states this quote, "You can’t rely on any other documents or statements on those subjects by any sales or service representatives, and you have no other rights with respect to service or this agreement, except as specifically provided by law." so, this null and voids that part of the debate. (geeze I hate corperate lawers)
Yep, that lovely (no sarcasm intended) paragraph has been mentioned more than a few times. Like I said, the suit has zip merit. 🤣

everyone here seem to be forgetting some minor details 1 what judge will they get and yes it does make a difference and 2 the right lawyer who can sell ice to an eskimo will prevail im betting verizon will bow down and open up the phone to file transfers which it should be capable of doing. why else would you hook it up to a PC, for internet service??? come on i can see that for a lap top yes but not a pc you know as well as i do everyone is looking for something free computer geeks included and no im not one i just spent 2 hours and 5 tec support people to get my 2 year old phone to get on mobile web tec support who dont know how to do there job i have to send you to the next level of support lmao good th
