Motorola V710
Verizon Bluetooth problem solved
If you buy an unbranded tri-mode, CDMA V710 direct from Motorola, Verizon will put that phone on their network now and support it. I have not yet researched the cost implications, but was assured that all of the Bluetooth functionality will be there, except for the "insurance option" for accidental damage.
Didn't somebody post a link where the unbranded phone can be purchased.

Yeah but how is that legal? I mean Moto had to have signed some sort of deal that prevented them from implementing BT file transfer. Moto just cant undercut VZW like that. If someone finds this link that allows me to get an unbranded v710 please post it. I just checked on the Moto website and they direct you to VZW stores... 😕
Probably is legal becauase moto is allowed to sell a CDMA phone from themselves for customers to do with what they please. Verizon is not the only CDMA service that could use that phone. It is possible, and I myself would love that link.
The only thing is, is that because it's not a VZW phone, it may not support all teh functions of the VZW network.

I purchased my v710 direct from motorola, I had already purchased one at full retail from verizon and radio shack, originally returned the radio shack because vzw was cheaper and then returned the vzw because moto was cheaper. The phone is branded with VZW and even came direct from motorola in a VZW box. The phone is identical to the previous 2 v710s I had in every way.

any idea if you can return a phone after having it for about 2 months or so?
Cust service would say no. you only have the 15 day worry fre guarentee. But you could go to the store and talk to the store.. chances are thoguh, they'll say the same..
Always worth the try though

the original message in this thread said verizon would refund now. 😳
Not trying to argue, that is just verizon policy. thats why i said it's worth a try and its a case by case basis, for that store, and by the manager of that store

they would take it back due to the camera issue, right? My phone definately has that problem.
They won't take it back as in getting a refund or changing for a different make or model, just exchange it for a new 710 that they fixed the issue on.
get VZW to give me a new phone with the issue fixed, the buy a new non VZW phone, and pawn the current one on ebay. that works for me.

Hi:
Currently. I own a Verizon branded V710 with the camera lens issue. I know that Verizon will exchange the defective camera after October 25. Also, through the grapevine I've heard that they will now accept an unbranded V710 with full Bluetooth functionality on their network. Is it possible for me to exchange my V710 through Motorola for one that has the fixed camera lens and unrestricted Bluetooth? Thanks.
Thank you for contacting Motorola e-mail support, we appreciate your request.
Thank you very much for your considerations and interest in our products.
Regarding your request, the upgrade of the Motorola v710 software for the unrestricted bluetooth capabil...

Since the warranty lasts a year, I've had my customer record documented so I have that option.
With the recall and camera problem, it might be worth the wait for everything to be fixed at once, or maybe another BT model is coming along.
