Motorola V710
What if...
I would find it interesting to see how many people find the 710 to be less than adequate for their needs and wants upon availability. With all the hype, this is bound to happen.
Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what the V265 can do and how VZW implements the GPS location/direction feature.
I'll stick with my trusty Startac 7868W until it breaks or the next quality phone comes out that can beat my 7868W.

I am not intending to knock the 710. I think it is really a potentially nice phone. I am just trying to set some realistic expectations. VZW may well hinder or modify some features for their own business reasons. I, too, was hot for the phone when I first heard about it. I've cooled down since and am looking ahead, and being practical.
Back in the weeds.

Dewd... VZW has had GPS location for E911 for some time now. If you are talking about a GPS service for users, that is being rolled out by Moto and is available for Nextel and other iDEN phones now.
BTW... your old Star-Tac is not even E911 compatible.

I am aware of my Startac's non-E911 compliance, and I do know, as well, that VZW has had E911 capability for a while.
What the V265 brings to the table are live directions utilizing the GPS feature.

It would be interesting to see how it would compare to my eventually GPS-enabled Sony Clie.

Everybody wants ever conceivable mobile device in one unit. It's been my experience that the more you "cram" into one unit, the less functionality you generally have. I prefer (and I know it's just me) to have separate units that can communicate with each other. That way if one item goes down, I'm not out my entire system (running blind so to speak) hence my anticipation of a bluetooth CDMA phone.
