Motorola V710
No updates available in my area --- Wisconsin
I just called 3 different USCC stores in the Fox River Valley and none of them has the update available yet. Is this possible? That's what I was told. I woulda thought that once it was available, it would be accessible immediately by all USCC stores.

They have the udates available where I live but I don't want to lose the ability for mp3 transfers but also I want the faster mobile web and powering on and off of the phone. So its a struggle and it really shouldn't be. I really like this phone otherwise.

Luckilly for me I don't care the least bit about MP3, camera, file transfers, video capture, or ANY of that stuff. I just like the huge screen and lack of annoying buttons on the bottom 1/2 of the phone. Oh yeah, and the great reception :-)
...
I am not overly concerned with camera either but the mp3 feature sounds interesting. The phone does have great reception and sound quality is amazing and I love the speaker and the voice and digit dial capability. I like the fact you don't have to go the extra step and record a voice to every single contact for voice dial. Who knows, if I don't buy myself a memory card I will eventually go for the update to the new firmware

Get the update and don't worry about it. It's possible to unlock the MOVE feature again. Read back a few days -- I posted about it before!
The updated features are too good to pass up -- especially the ability to LOCK the keys and side buttons. Before I had this feature I was always messing up the rigers or silencing them unintentionally.
I posted a link to the Howard Forums a few days ago that tell ALL of the features that were added.

The update sounds very interesting. I think maybe i'll try it. If there is an easy way to
unlock what you said than its worth updating too.
Found an interesting article as I was doing a search on the web about the battery life of the 710.

Lock the side-buttons!!! OMG !!! Too good to be true. Can they STAY locked forever?? I hate all side buttons -- except possibly volume. Can we lock them so they do absolutely NOTHING at ALL times ??
...
Nope -- sorry but you can't lock them forever. You just press MENU * and the keypad and side buttons lock. When you're ready to use the phone, pressing MENU * again will unlock ALL of the buttons. The only exception is answering the phone. I have mine set to answer when any button is pressed -- and this still works (internal keys only) when the keypad is locked. I used to have it answer when I opened it, but if you screw up and it flips back closed while you're opening it, you lose the call.
