I don't know how valid this is, but the folks over @ engadget.com have posted that LG is coming out with a updated 8000. respectively called the 8100, the only difference, is that it has bluetooth! very exciting! now does that mean that no ones gonna buy the LG VX-8000? HOPEFULLY the bluetooth on it isn't limited or crippled as its become to be known as, in the VZW world. Lets all take a moment to pray....

Of course the Bluetooth will be crippled if VZW offers it. Bottom line, VZW doesnt want people to get things for free (ringtones, wallpapers) Cause if you get it free, they're not making any money. And these days, it's all about the money, even the $1.99's is important to them, so important that they made not so great phones even worse (Motorola v710).

There is nothing wrong with the Motorola 710. It works great. Bluetooth isn't for everyone...making calls is. And the phone takes great pictures as well. Cmon man..the phone is better than most other cellular phones. VZW will not "cripple" anything unless it compromises the network in some way. Remember who MAKES the phone "motorola" ...

There's plenty wrong with the V710. The two major things being the crippled Bluetooth and the horrible quality pictures it takes, I'll get to that in a moment.

You're right, Bluetooth is not for everyone. But it is for alot of people as well. Do you honestly believe VZW crippled it because its not for everyone? I hope not. It's obvious why they crippled it. They crippled it because they are toooo scared of people downloading free ringtones and wallpapers onto their cell phones like its going to send the company plummeting. If every other carrier out there can afford to not cripple the Bluetooth on the phones they offer, I'm more than positive VZW can do so as well, but they didn't, cause it's a penny pinching corporation.

As fo...

1.3... 1.2, not that big a of a difference. You're right, phone first, camera last. but if you're going to put something into a phone, you can at least make it halfway decent like other manufacturers are able to do, and at the same time make it a great phone as well.

And like I said, just because you have a 5 megapixel camera does not mean you're going to have a good quality picture, megapixels more or less stand for the size of the image, quality counts on other things.
