BlueTooth Adapters

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone realizes that there is already an adapter enabling virtually every Motorola phone to become BlueTooth capable. It sells for $59.99, they will also become available for other manufacturers including LG.

We received the Motorola V710 and all of the BlueTooth accessories currently available, I will personally wait for the VX8000, due to the fact that it will be able to support BlueTooth when the adapter is released in roughly six months. The features and the 1.3 mega pixel CCD are well worth the wait.

Why wouldn't Verizon want to take advantage of this technology that has been readily available in Palm products and Sony Clies for several years? Other phones will, in time, have the capability of BlueToot...

Hello,

That adapter would give any phone the ability to support BlueTooth, however, the device to which I was referring will be officially licensed by Verizon. Given that fact it will most likely have a higher quality warranty than a generic wireless accessory manufacturer. It will also be a more reliable and integral part of your wireless telephone.

Verizon will take the time to refine the technology rather than be the first in the industry to allow all of their products to take advantage of it, I guarantee you that the adapter in the Ebay sale drops calls quite often, Verizon's version will not have that defect (which is possibly why it is not on the market yet). BlueTooth is an unstable technology even though it has been around in P...

Of course, if its with VZW, they inhibit some of the function of B/T to force you to use their GIN and Pix service.. $$$$.

Hello Again,

I'm not positive on this, so don't hold it against me, 😁 . But I do believe that the BlueTooth adapters may be released after Thanksgiving for the holiday season. The prices may vary expensively as Motorola has refined the technology not the competing brands.

The adapters for any GPS enabled Motorola phone runs about $79.99 (I apologize for my previous message that said they retailed for $59.99). So it would be reasonable for the adapters enabling other GPS enabled brands to run perhaps $80.00 to $150.00 and keep in mind there may not be an adapter for every phone.

To answer your question, BT doesn't, in its current form of wireless accessories, offer any revenue stream for VZW. VZW doesn't make its money selling handsets. It makes money from people using the network, and BT doesn't have a revenue source...yet.

I wasn't referring to any current accessories offered by VZW, my post was based upon promotional material my store received. This was released by VZW in New England this past July (before the release of the 710). It detailed the direction VZW plans on moving to promote the utilization of BlueTooth technology in their current and future product lines. VZW is currently trying to make BlueTooth more extensively available either in embedded BT or adapters that will allow the user to utilize this "new" technology.

sorry,
i was misunderstood
so if there was going to be a bluetooth adaptor for a non-bt phone such as an LG 7000 or 8000, it probably wouldnt be released for a good amount of time b/c they are testing it/its on the drawing boards?

Am i right blsht?
