AVOID the 710 and Verizon. Verizons money grabbing policies have
resulted in the 710 Bluetooth functions being severly crippled. It's
almost a crime for Verizon to even call it a Bluetooth phone.

Please explain why ?
What is, was disabled?

Verizon crippled part of the bluetooth function on the phone because o
the "GET IT NOW" feature. There reason behind it was, if somebody was t
say get a game off from "GET IT NOW", they could use the phone'
bluetooth function to pass that game onto anybody else that ha
bluetooth phone, therefore taking money out of Verizon's pocket. Th
phone's bluetooth capabilites still works with things like bluetoot
headsets/ear pieces, bluetooth cars, PC's, etc

I believe the same as you summarize above. OTOH, I've taken this up
with my wife and one of her colleagues, both with v710 and Moto BT
headsets. Both believe that they have gotten excellent value for the
v710 for their purposes at the offerered price. I cannot argue with
their views.
