There was a law suite file against verizion fot limiting the bluetooth capabilities of the v710.
...
If you were a v710 owner who was an early adopter, you were promised full blue-tooth functionality, and then were given a blue-tooth crippled phone.
As a result - you were offered a chance to participate in a class action law-suit.
The choices were:
1. Drop your verizon service, with no termination fee, and get a full refund for the purchase price of the phone.
2. Keep your verizon service, and get a credit of your original purchase price towards the purchase of a new phone (however, cannot be combined with NE2, and resets your NE2 for another 22 months- so you basically lose NE2)

I think the real question is why did the SIG allow Verizon to monkey with open source code. If possible they should have pulled the Bluetooth designation from Verizon. Once you take profiles away it's not Bluetooth anymore and they should not be able to advertise it with a microscopic disclaimer. If Verizon wants to come up with a proprietary wireless protocol for connecting to a head set they can sell you good for them. But the V710 settlement fell far short of providing practical relief for consumers Verizon misrepresented and a significant enough penalty to prevent them from considering future similiar actions.
