Motorola V710
My speakerphone works with Flip closed
I posted this the other day. I wrote to Motorola to ask about the speakerphone and using it with the flip closed. This is the response they sent me:
Thank you for contacting Motorola E-mail Support.
Regarding your concern, it is in fact not possible to use the Speakerphone feature with the flip closed in the V710 phone. We apologize for all the inconvenience that this may cause you. Should this feature be modified ...

If anyone who works at Verizon can provide this board with the email address to bombard you guys to ask Motorola to include this "feature update", it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
1) Much embedded software is not ported between hardware architectures. And if it is similar code. It's usually a week or two just to design the software into the system and then you have to deal with testing the feature, testing the software entity (OS change?, DSP change?, CP change?, etc.), testing that the system (phone) still works and no runtime, memory fault, mathematical errors were introduced.
2) And the above doesn't take into account managment.......who take 5 times as long as the process described above to decide whether or not to do the feature request.
Not trying to be hostile, just understand that in big companies there are a lot of factors that go into feature reques...
