😢 well nothing extremely useful today to read, so i ventured to back in the day

actually I thought it was pretty funny that noone responded to that back then!

what would we say, the 815 was not even out yet so i don't even think we had bluetooth then

V710 was first Bluetooth phone. And we all know how that went over. 🙄

what i don't remeber any issues at all 👀

The lawsuit? 😉

there was no lawsuit 👀

🤨

He is joking

nope the lawsuit never happened 🤣

all just a bad dream

exactly 😉

Verizon opened up file transfer on their high end phones a few months ago. Motorola and LG have the best BT stack.

Here is the Maxx:
Bluetooth® Profiles Supported: Headset, Hands–free, Dial Up Networking, Serial Port, Stereo Headset Support for Music, OBEX File Transfer and Object Push for user generated image/video and vCard transfer only

Here is the VX9400
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Profiles Supported: headset, hands–free, dial–up networking (SPP), advanced audio distribution (Stereo), OBEX file transfer, object push for VCard & Basic Printing
Bluetooth Stereo Headset Support for Listening to Music
Print Pictures & Send vCards via Bluetooth

There are several others as well.

I like this old thread to wombough
smile it is saturday

and yes I am that bored, just seems like the Verizon forum these days is lacking in substance, or maybe it is just me, seems like it has been slow in here as of late?

This thread is very old, so i'll make this post again:

Mainly the what? Don't hold me in suspense!!

Sorry! Mainly the highest priced phones I meant to say.

The Maxx, LG 9400, 9900. Click on the phone details tab and you will see others.

It's nice that they're crippling the bluetooth a bit less on the high-end phones, but really, that's only a first step. ☹️

They've put their toe in the water before... my old VZW Nokia 6256i had completely functional bluetooth, yep, even OBEX (!).

And yet, here we are almost 2 years after the release of a full bluetooth VZW phone, and I don't think I've seen a VZW phone since then that was like that. Why go backwards?

Makes me wonder if the only reason the 6256 was full BT was because Nokia insisted that it be.

I think you are right. Verizon shelved that phone and then it was only available in Circuit City stores. Isn't Nokia OUT of it's VZ relationship completely now?

The Maxx has OBEX, so does the 9900 and maybe the 9400. 9900 has printing too.

Yeah, VZW treated that phone like a red-headed stepchild. And all Nokia gives us now are Pantech-made, Nokia-branded low-end phones. ☹️

The Maxx has OBEX, so does the 9900 and maybe the 9400. 9900 has printing too.

Well, there's degrees of OBEX... there's 'Object Push for vCards only' (a lot of midrange VZW phones are like that), and then there's 'full, do pretty much whatever you want' OBEX, like I had on my 6256.

My understanding is that the Maxx, 9400, and 9900 are somewhere in between those two ...

Yeah pretty much the only thing I can't do with my 9900 is transfer files to other phones. Besides that I can do anything else I want.

yeah i have a 9900 now, my only compalints tabout the bluetooth is not be able to transfer music, i only get access to the my sounds folder through bluetooth. also, are you able to transfer your phonebook to a nav or car system? that is different than the crappy vcasrd, and phonebook to pc requires you to have mobile phone tools unless i am missing something. I am well aware we willl probably never see rngtones opened though.


I agree it is 75% better, took them a while but they really came around, but many models are still locked down and the ones that are more open still need a couple more profiles to be comparable to other carriers.

I do love transfering photos with the 9900 and 8700 but having to pull my card out of the 8700 is an...

Yes, you have been able to sync with car nav syatems for a while now. The VCard contact transfer now handles the other cars, like Lexus.

Forget about moving music over Bluetooth, or anything they sell, like ringtones. You can push the "Sounds" over Bluetooth though.

Most of the new (LG & Moto) phones let you send ringtones via PIX message and they will save to the proper folder on the phone.

i know, about the ringtones, I myself am not a basher on the whole bluetooth thing, but that is a restrciction some other carriers don't have.

The music was not purchased and the my sounds folder is a waste. Songs i already own on my computer cannot be send through bluetooth, my only complaint

Likely was my fault, but we didn't really need another Bluetooth thread, did we?

Have you tried the BT printing yet? The 9900 is pretty awesome from what I hear.

No I haven't tried it. I never really print anything off but I should try it. Hell I don't even know if the printer in our house has bluetooth. I would like to get a photo printer to print pix off my phone though. I just took a ton of pix when I was on vacation and they all turned out sweet. Can you use a dongle on a printer?

The newer HP printers are ready for BT. Mine requires an add-on, so I didn't get it.

I don't think a regular USB dongle does the trick.
