Motorola V810

Maybe some techie person on this site can determine if it can be adapted for VZW.

For use on CDMA 1 x 800/1900/AMPS Networks (from MOTO website)

It can work on Verizon. I'm no techie, but there are a few of us here working on it. And, I'm sure there are some back-door ways, too. I'm optimistic about it, too.

The moto email also says that the v810 has an office quality speakerphone....

Is this true?

Go hands-free with the office-quality speakerphone

Yes. With the flip open, press and hold the "OK" button and you will a prompt asking if you want to enable the speakerphone.

Where is there documentation regarding a speaker phone capability in the V810? The info page on this site does not mention one nor does the Motorola site as far as I can find.

Testers have claimed this functionality and its also in the manual.

This makes the phone just about perfect for me!!!

This phone does not have a speakerphone. Atleast the USCC version does not and since I found no information on another version I think you may be looking at the specs for another model.

I apologize, the test phone I received did not include an instruction manual. After replying I dug up a manual and started reading. A single sentence on page 59 does say there is a speakerphone. All the phone does is pump up the volume in the earpiece so while the phone does "technically" contain a speakerphone it's quality is below par. 🙄

I have the manual draft for the Verizon version. Same page number for the speakerphone on the v810.

Looking forward to seeing how the v810 performs for USCC. I will consider USCC service, which is good in Chicago, if Verizon does not sell the v810 to indirect agents. There's a post on Howard Forums that indicates this is a possibility.
