Gave up on bluetooth

Love the car, love the features. Gave up on blue tooth. here about lots of problems anyways. Got a V60s with speaker phone for free. Don't wanna pay $350 for bluetooth, headset is fine. Besides I hate the extras liek dual color screen and camera which I do not want and drain the battery. PS, I have Verizon. I am happy now and can enoy this phone and my TL seperately

I'll let you know how it goes with the v710 next week. Newest technology may be what makes the difference.

Is this phone from Verizon, and is it bluetooth? If not, does VERIZON even offer a BLUETOOTH phone?

thanks.

Early guess is $399 available on 5/21 at a local Verizon store near you.

If you still want to use a BT phone in your TL, I advise you to switch your phone carrier and get a cheap phone, like SE T616. I never had a problem with this phone in my TL. The most of times, people complain about the BT functionality because they didn't pair it right, such as BT saver on, etc. Having cameras does not drain the battery life. I have to admit that I don't use the phone to take pictures, but I cannot do anything about the current trends in technology. I only make 2-3 phone calls in my car per day, but I have to admit that I am extremely happy with this set up.

Dates keep getting pushed back, wont happen. Be out later than that. Besides I don't want color, polyphonic ring tones, or a camera. Would still love to know how it goes, but I assume you may be waiting a bit longer than you think.
To the end of your statement, yes I'll take a BJ, thanks :thefinger

If I could leave Verizon lord knows I would, but where I live / travel they're the only option.

Therefore, the v710 rules!

Had Verizon. Had AT&T...went with T-Mobile (Voicestream at the time)... been with them for 3.5 years and have had no severe problems. Verizon was great but didn't offer as far as full-featured phones. AT&T was plain crap. T-Mobile is GSM technology, very low rate plans, I can roam around the world and switch phones when need be. and their customer care rocks.

If the v710 is Verizon's version of the v600, without trying to jinx anyone, be prepared for hassles. See the v600 threads already posted. GL!
