Verizon Launches Megapixel Camera Phone with Bluetooth
Another Bluetooth discussion
I was under the impression from reading the forums on this site that the bluetooth on this phone does NOT have wireless connectivity to the PC........Is this a Verizon typo......or are the Brainiacs on phonescoop lieing to us?
No offense, just trying to get a little rise out of y'all......

Ok, just checked the VZW site and this is what they say: "And with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can make hands-free, eyes-free calls, and connect to your PC or PDA whenever and wherever you want."

Verizon will be calling all current v710 owners and instructing them to return to the Verizon store for a full software flash.
The new phones will already have the new software which will at that time support all Bluetooth functionality.
i know right now some Mac users can use BT to use the phone as a modem, it connects fine like that, but anything else requires a USB cable. it's caused quite a few people to return their phones, it's odd that Verizon didn't tell the people to hold tight when they returned the phones if this firmware fix will solve the issue. then again verizon doesn't support anything but windows users really anyway.
I use it everyday. It works great with my iPAQ.
Apparently, there will be a firmware update allowing for the transfer of files / syncing between your PC/PDA. It is not a hardware limitation.
Hope this helps.
