Motorola V710

HOly cow.. ur right.. ur absolutely right.. wht counts is that u took the pic and got what u needed in the pic.. Ur not looking for wow look at that pore on his face or something like that. just accept the fact that it has camera.. quality of camera has nothing to do with quality of phone. better a cam than no cam right?

Maybe. A lot of places are starting to ban camera phones from use. I would rather see this phone without a camera and something better added like faster web access (I know some of this is carrier dependent) better BT connectivity (I think it will not be long for someone to hack this into reality). I need a phone to be the best phone it can be. I have digital camera, video units for those purposes and they do very well what they were designed to do. Maybe when perverts quit taking shots of people in locker rooms and at bars up women skirts, camera phones will be allowed again everywhere.

School board expected to ban camera cellphones
By Nirvi Shah

Tuesday, August 03, 2004

Patent leather shoes were once banned from some Catholic schools: Despite girls' modest shin-length skirts, their unmentionables might be reflected in the shiny part of their shoes.

Fast-forward to 2004, when some students in south Palm Beach County supposedly slipped their camera cellphones under girls' skirts for a digital peepshow. That prompted the school board Monday to do a little banning of its own: the camera phone.

Having them on campus, on school buses or at any school-sponsored activity, even out of sight, won't be allowed if the board affirms the policy Sept. 13.
Low-tech cellphones and cameras that aren't phones are still allowed...

Will they ban them at NYU? I doubt it! 😁

I hope they don't ban them in O.C. California. (I wanna bring my v710 to school to make calls when i need to, that'd suck if i'd have to get another phone just cuz of that) 😕

was this only in florida so far???

I would still bring the phone. How would a dumb@ss teacher know if the V710 is a camera phone? You just keep it in your pocket away and make sure those annoying geeks who site in the corner table in the cafeteria dont see it and tell a teacher about it.

🤣 ... your absolutely right!! 😁

Teacher glances over. Sees a glass dot on the front. How da f*ck is a teacher gonna know that that glass dot is a camera. 🙄 😳

Well.. they have banned them in fitness centers, bars, US Gov't court house's and other US government buildings here in Austin, TX (and this is a liberal city) so I would be watching out for additional bans on camera phones soon. BTW, how dumb do you think a teacher is? Most would be able to figure out that it is a camera on the phone! Don't be so naive!

Teachers don't really give a crap, i mean they care, but they don't really pay attention all that much. Unless they actually see you doing something wrong.

yea, ill just keep the phone in my pocket away until recess. Then ill listen to ringtones!!!! (not taking pictures). If they take the phone from me, ill start a riot with torches and pitchforks and show em who's boss 👿 LOL

hehe... amen to that! 😁 🤣

damn liberals, blame everyone else but the person, it's the person NOT THE PHONE! I can understand most of those...but BARS?!?! WTF?!? Camera phones are great for those late night moments when the memory starts getting a little fuzzy...

haha yeah even if they are banned its not going to matter. All cell phones are banned at my school in texas, yet everyone has one and brings it to school. Most of the teacher dont care, and they cant find out if you keep it in your pocket.

*sigh*

That's just stupid.

There's a large variety of cameras that are even smaller and more conceilable than a cell phone camera.

The problem with folks these days is that they don't differentiate between the "technology" and the "user". Taking pictures of people in certain situations, which upskirt photos are one of, is already illegal. There's no point in also banning the tools that are used for it.

I agree but you know how it works, a few idiots can spoil the whole show for everyone.

My high school was strongly considering banning camera phones because people were caught with inappropriate pictures that they upload onto their phones and showing them to people. However, many parents complained that students need phones to call home after school and they were not planning on buying a new phone w/o a camera because of the ban. Also arguing that they students who did the actions should be punished, not all students. In the end, the school adopted the "out of sight" policy. If the phone is seen by a school representative (teacher, etc.) during school hours, it is confiscted till the end of the school year.

So I guess if we follow your logic (sic) when he has that accident, he can take a picture and email it to 911 and they will respond faster? What a dill weed!

no the phone has gps and when you call 911 they can pinpoint your location. I was trying to state he didn't have any reason to let us all know his camera's were better then a phone that had a Camera Feature! douchebag. 🙄

Hey, there was a case a while back where a creepy kidnapper type tried to entice a kid into his car. The kid pulls out his camera phone and takes snapshots of the kidnapper and the car and makes the policeman's job quite easy.

Camera phones, or cameras in other sorts of devices have a lot of hidden benefits in situations where you may not have thought to have your camera handy.

Thank you npitlor. So you don't have any special plan or anything, just a basic voice minutes plan - gotcha. This is how I used to do it with my 720 and the USB cable, but it will be nice to not use the cable anymore.

All you need to do this is the VZW Ezconnect software on your laptop and a bluetooth connection on your laptop right?

To be honest, I just use a PocketPC (Ipaq 4150). I don't even OWN a Notebook computer...

From what I've been told, you don't need any special software. Your Windows dialer should work. I know I didn't need anything for my PPC.

Hmm...I have an iPAQ 4150 also but have never tried to access via the windows dialer. What number do you tell it to call?

You dial #777

Uncheck "wait for dial tone"

User name: PHONENUMBER@vzw3g.com
(PHONENUMBER = your 10 digit number)
Password: vzw

No dialing strings

As far as anything else (like the modem, etc) it depends how you're going to connect; BT, cable, etc. You should check with www.thesupplynet.com, as they have pretty good instructions on setup.

the phone number for the slow internet acess is #777 am I right that the user name and pasword is your phone number? or iz it vzw? Thanks
