Motorola V710
Connectivity via Bluetooth�
Bluetooth is the only feature that I want, so could someone who knows sum up the state of bluetooth in this phone???
Does it do everything a bluetooth phone should be able to do?

Well, depending on who you talk to, this phone does everything they dreamed Bluetooh should do...and others state the phone is crippled and does nothing they thought Bluetooth should do.
This is what I've gotten Bluetooth to do with my v710, Compaq laptop (with a Belkin Bluetooth USB adapter), HS820 Moto headset and my HP iPaq 4155 (with built-in Bluetooth).
1. I've successfully paired the v710 with my iPaq, Moto headset and my laptop with the Belkin Bluetooth adapter.
2. I've made and received calls with the Moto headset, flawlessly. The only gripe here is that you must be wearing the headset to hear incoming calls when the headset is paired with the phone.
3. Using the configuration on the HowardForums board, I've been able...

That should read:

"when paired" implies "all the time", which might lead readers to believe that once you *pair* a headset with the phone, the phone no longer rings when you have an incoming call.

Correct. By paired I meant "connect". Once you have connected the headset (after initial pairing has been completed) you will need to wear the headset at all times to hear incoming calls.
Good catch haus 😁

That's been a common complaint with the HS820, but before I tear that model a new profile I should note that I stopped using the Jabra BT200 for the same reason (and it hurt my ear, and the little rubber thing kept getting turn around whenever I set the thing down). What you gain in smaller size with the 820 is the slight inconvenience of having to remember to turn it off if you don't want to wear it.
I'm still really torn on this (I have the older HS800 (2nd gen, though) - and I'm trying to decide on "next headset" as this one has started getting looser and looser to the point where when I'm driving and I turn my head, it almost falls off.

The only experience I've had with Bluetooth headsets before the HS820 is the Jabra with the Bluetooth adapter (not sure of the model number). It allowed the phone to ring regardless of the headset's connected state. I'm assuming that was because the Bluetooth portion wasn't integrated into the phone. I assumed, incorrectly, that other BT headsets worked the same way.
All in all, it's a minor inconvenience at best. I wear my headset most of the time while driving no matter if I'm talking or not.
