Is the new flash available at VZW stores yet?

The new software didn't help me. So I'm done with this phone.

Before I rant at a VZW store, I want to be sure that the new software is available publically.

Is VZW distributing the software yet? 🙂

I don't think it is. There has not been an official release of this software.

I think the only way anyone is going to get their phone re-flashed it to do it themselves or know someone that can do it for you.

The SD flash does not elimate the tf ability to move files.... it will also make Mobile Phone Tools work via Blue Tooth!!! Just make sure you select the v710m when setting up Mobile Phone Tools.

the main thing it does is to restore the abilty to use Mobile Phone Tools via bluetooth. There is really a lot you are missing without this.

It also allows bluetooth to work in some cars where it wouldn't before.

Unfortantly, the one thing it doesn't do is restore OBEX. So, you can't exchange objects with other devices such as other phones, or PDAs.

Neither do I...but there are a lot of things in Mobil Phone Tools your are mising out on...such as making new wallpaper for your V710. Transfering Video from your computer to the phone ect!!! I don't blame you for fearing doing the flash... but it wasn't that bad to do and to me it seems to be a much better phone as a result.

It would be real nice if we COULD take it to Motorola and they flash it with the OEM firmware. Or better yet they just release the OEM firmware.

You are all idiots for using a BAD phone. I returned mine to Verizon and called the business Verizon line and purchased a new Audiovox XV6600 with TRUE Bluetooth and PDA.

This is not available thru the consumer Verizon people. They don't know it exists!!!!!!

Why don't the VZW CSR's have a clue about the BT resolution?

Why do they offer regular BT profiles on the Audiovox XV6600 and not the V710?

the only thing I don't lie about it is it is not a flip-phone.... maybe that wouldn't matter that much... but I prefer that form factor for a cell phone. If I wanted a PDA I would buy one and use it with a non-crippled blue tooth phone... opps... I'd have to change carriers to that??? Cingular!!!!!!!!!!!!!
