You mean speaker, not speaker phone. Anyway, It's 75$ at Circuit City. I just bought it today.

APPARENTLY, THAT PHONE CAN BE CLOSED WITH THE SPEAKERPHONE FEATURE TURNED ON AND IT WONT DISCONNECT WHILE YOURE TALKING.
EVEN THOUGH MICROPHONE IS ON THE INSIDE!! SO WHY ISN'T THE V710 UP TO PAR WITH THE V600?! TO MAKE UP BUY THE STUPID BLUETOOTH?1 GRRR MARKETING!
The current firmware version for this phone on the VZW market is 8700_01.30.8F and that can only be done by a cellular shop with the proper equipment. I have a shop in the NYC area if needed, but... all the phones were release, both from RS and VZW with this firmware. This is what took so damn long to release it!
If a firmware upgrade is needed, or any other repair, there is no charge for this because you have a one year warranty. Check Moto's website for a warranty repair center near you. 🙂
Whether 8g is this next version or not, Moto cannot tell me because the shop support people don't have any info on a version 8g even in existance.
All of this is typical in my experience with Moto as a level 2 shop. I am going to sit tight, call them daily and when the next version is released, whether that be 8g or something else, I will pst here and this is a no charge warranty repair.
Sorry I was not clear.
I will post that too once I fix mine. 😁
Level 2 said:
I have a fix for the twisted camera. I ordered a bunch of flip case parts, as the plastics dont survive a disassembly. I will have all of those parts in next Saturday.
I will post that too once I fix mine. 😁
how can you tell if its twisted??? i dont think mine is!!!
Level 2 said:
When you hold the camera level and take a pic, the photo looks like a bad guy scene from an old episode from Batman... 🤣
heck that only happens at night then!!!!
"force" Verizon to ask Motorola to include it in their next upgrade! Come on!! Power to the people! (and more importantly, to make my gf be quiet about the featuer not working with the phone closed)..............

PLEASE DO THIS....
The point is : JUST DO IT!!!! as Nike would say!
If we complain, and they get thousands of them, the people reading the emails would complain to uppermanagement who just MIGHT take action.
Only problem is, we might have to bombard them on a daily basis. Mmmm... too bad no way to automate it.......
Anyway, I am going to wait until I have one in the shop I can afford to 'lose', just in case...
You update the software and the firmware at any Verizon store. That is the only way.
Even a new phone may need a software update. Jush check which version youi have and call Verizon and see what they have. The manual tells you how to check your version number.
With it closed, you would greatly reduce the quality and volume to the other peson making it very hard for them to hear you. Just keep it open, why would that be a problem?
It's not surprising that 100's on these forums find this design odd.
The idea is that you shud be able to put your phone down on a table or next to you in your car, safely closed, and talk on it.
but I still want to be able to close the phone since I rarely use speakerphone for conversations(everyone hates the effect) but mostly to listen to my varioious voice mails, etc while driving.
How does Motorola expect this phone to be its flagship product when its not up to par compared to its own phones? Its like the 7 series by BMW. That is its flagship car. No other in its production line comes close to it, and can be customized in more ways then you would know about.
So, yes I do expect the 1.2 megapixel to be DECENT indoors, and speakerphone to be used WHEN CLOSED... Good thing I am on a 1 yr plan, and will be switching to either the LG phone with CCD, or the Sony...

1. Can the speaker phone be used with the phone closed without the call being disconnected?
2. If so on #1 can the other person hear you reasonably well given that the speakerphone is on the inside?
3. Can the Verizon stores and some third party vendors repair the camera twist if in fact it is a problem with the phone you have?
4. Can the Verizon stores and some third party vendors upgrade the firmware when the upgrade comes out?
5. Will Verizon give you or significantly discount a BT speaker given the poor design of the speaker phone?
6. Will Verizon guarant...

Can someone please summarize this subject using the numbers below so we can all follow. It has been difficult to follow each link and sublink in this overall thread:

3. Can the Verizon stores and some third party vendors repair the camera twist if in fact it is a problem with the phone you have? NO, LIKE I SAID IN OTHER POSTS THE CAMERA SUCKS, ACCORDING TO LEVEL2 EVENTUALLY THOUGH THEY MAY BE ABLE TO FIX THIS, EITHER WAY CAMERA STILL SUCKS, ANYONE THAT SAYS OTHERWISE EITHER WORKS FOR VERIZON, MOTOROLA OR IS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH EITHER OF THE TWO, OR ON CRACK - AND YES, EVEN THOUGH ITS A PHONE THE CAMERA SUCKS

6. Crack is wack, glue would produce the same effect. 😎
7. The actual issue with the camera is not the camera itself, but the processor inside the phone. It is just not strong enough to handle what it is being told to do.
I have had some success with pix quality manually setting the camera to indoor/outdoor, which takes pressure off the processor, but the bottom line is the previous fact.
It may be possible in future software upgrades, and speaking from my shop expereince with Moto, there will be many, that the pix quality will improve. But it will never be a Sony DC9, and by the time it is as good as the LG7000, there will be better ones out there.
Kinda off the topic, and I am an ...

"as loud as the T720" - I will give you that but wasn't the T720 a piece of crap? Thats not my opinion, its everyone elses.
I agree on the speakerphone and the other features. They are great. But that the fact that the speakerphone cant be used with the phone closed on Motorola's "flagship" phone is a bit pathetic.
The camera, which was "hyped" to be the best of the camera phones, actually one of the few megapixel currently released in North America, is "twisted" and takes completely "out of focus" and blurry pictures indoors. I just expected more from Motorola's latest.

The T720 was a piece of crap, compare the V710's volume to a V60c/i and you'll see that the V710 is really low on volume which would be easy to fix if p2kman would work on the phone.
As for the camera, it should atleast be decent since it's not a 5MP camera but it should perform atleast decently.
While we all are trying to be believers that everything we buy is flawless, when there are flaws, it's better to admit it. Ofcourse, nothing is perfect in life but it seems like they didn't do too well in testing the product before putting it in production. Many of the things could have been redesigned before they pro...

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 in the future, it should be done by a software fix. This type of fixes are launched based on an agreement between Motorola and Verizon, wanting to modify a specific feature of a phone. There are no such fixes available for the time being. However, feel free to contact Motorola or Verizon in the future to verify if any feat...
