Motorola V710

Readers I think we all need to be patient with the release of the V710. I really don’t think we should get our hopes up to high because I really don’t think the phone will be released on may 21 or around the beginning of June either. I think Verizon is not in a rush and the date May 21 is more likely false, this is because Verizon hasn’t even gone National with the EV-DO network. I am not on here to shoot down your dreams or nothing; I just don’t won’t all of us to get our hopes of high and be disappointed.

Also if it does come out in May or early June which I do not believe, I will be really happy because I live in Washington DC, and DC has the EV-DO network currently.

i asked them about their new phone the v710 and when it would be released and the guy said

Has anyone noticed there is an unusually high amount of out of stocks on the verizon wireless website? Wonder if they're discontinuing them in preparation to move in different products, possibly v710?

I emailed them last night, asking them when the 710 was to be out:

First a bit of fatherly advice: Calm down and remain Ladies and Gentlemen. We are only discussing cell phones and not a life threatening disease!!

I have received Motorola's Annual Report and the usual stockholders' voting proxy request. In the Report, there were photos of the V710 and a statement that said the V710 would be available to the public in June 2004.

Of course that doesn't mean Verizon will run with the ball!! My wife and I are long time StarTac users with a very long relationship with VZW and our phones need a permanent rest.

Motorola replaced their top management during the past year: failure to produce new product (phones, CPU chips, etc.) in a timely fashion, which contributed to the change. Perhaps Verizon "biggies...

In the 'offer details' link:


"Be one of the first 710 people to purchase a Motorola v710 handset and register your purchase online at http://www.motorola.com/shop/v710registration , after receiving official notification from Motorola that registration has begun, and receive a FREE Bluetooth® device of your choice: Motorola hands-free Bluetooth® headset HS810 (ARV $119.99) or Bluetooth® Portable Wireless Speaker HF800 (ARV $119.99). Offer expires July 10, 2004 or while the first 710 offer packages last."

hmmm, offer expires July 10th. that's some interesting foreshadowing towards an official release date...

so when do u guys think this phone will be out?

Will we be able to use MP3's on the TransFlash card to use as ringers? Or will cheapass Verizon jip us out of that too? If not, what is the TransFlash card for?

any one of those u all mentiones (6-21,6-23,early june)will work and that would b great. Let me add this: I just talked to VZW customer care and mentioned that my v6000 doesnt work well and should I come in to exch it (its under warranty so it b free)and he said "dont bother as some awesome new phones w video features etc, r coming out in next 2 weeks", so that all jives w what we've been hearing re this phone and or the 7000.

how much would it cost to buy like a 128mb card or something???

id like to be able to take alot of pics and LONG videos (over 2 minutes) so im assuming this would require no less than a 128mb card, correct?

well if i am correct, can you tell me how much one would cost? thanks

may 21st, 2004

have 15-30 minute capabilities

I'm interested in this phone and sent this question to Mobile Phonetools:
-------------------------------------
I read that your product will support this phone. I understand that it will synchronize phone numbers, SMS, and faxes. The phone rumors to have an address book, calendar and a memo section. I use a Palm device and would like to keep the basics on my phone.

1. Will Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 support the Palm Desktop address book?
2. Will Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 support the Palm Desktop calendar?
3. Will Mobile PhoneTools 2.0 support Palm Desktop memos?
-------------------------------------

Their response wasn't positive:

Thank you for contacing Bvrp Software regarding Mobile Pho...

most camera/video phones with a mega pixel camera that are about to come out, can only do 15 seconds

is this something motorola realy worked hard in???

or can this phone only record only 15 seconds also?

If you are going to be a new customer, be one TODAY or TOMORROW...otherwise your out of luck. Starting Monday, May 10, Verizon Wireless will be charging a $15 activation fee on ALL 2 YEAR aggreement lines. The 1 year agreement activation fee remains $35. Oh well...Verizon Wireless, we never stop ripping you off...


It's too bad...i work for them. Everythings been a dissapointment lately...

I will say this about the v710 to put all rumors to rest. I do work for VZW! Ive been asking around and got a answer the reason why we haven't got any good phns from motorola..because they leaked info about our push to talk(PTT) to NEXTEL when they made our v60s.. motorola owes 75% of Next el. So thats why we sued them (NEXTEL)..and then when they came out with the v60s..they made it PTT capable and we loss alot of money on it before we found out.. and the v810 was about to come out but when they tested we found out whn they flipd the phone open and pull the anttna up it would block the camra.. and they was upset that we didnt want it we wntd thm to fix it theyd didnt want to..they said they didnt understand why the annta needed to be up wh...

Does anyone know if what
HyE PriDe THUG said is true? that the camerca can be used with the phone closed???

Simple Question Which one is better?
I dont know which one to get when they come out.
And you know the front of the V710 Is that in color and can you use the camera with that screen in the front.

I just want to know which one is better 🙂

then who isnt going to get one? PUH-LEASE !!! If either r out, then none of us r going to wait for the 810 which is last years model w no video etc, or the 710 which might come out in late summer. We'll b rushing to the stores to chk out the new video phone.I know it and u know it!!!!!!
