There hasn't been much talk about this problem lately--have they finally rolled out the fix?

 

All the problems I was having, except for the short battery life when bluetooth is on, where fixed when I updated to the firmware at the top of this thread.

So it now answers correctly with the clamshell closed when using HFL?

 

Yep, does for me, which it wouldn't do before the firmware upgrade.

I bought a V600 this weekend. it worked flawlessly with the TL. Clamshell closed, paired easily, etc. Anyway AT&T Wireless and the phone were not doing it for me. Calls were not transferred to the phone and the phone didn't even tell me I missed calls until hours later.Also, the earpiece was not loud enough for me. Needless to say, the phone and service were returned and canceled. BUT, at least now I know I need to hold out for Verizon BT and also that moto phones may not be for me. Hopefully LG can put out an CDMA bluetooth. It would be a dream come true.

I am a bit confused on this last post. You indicate that the phone worked flawlessly but then indicate that you had call transfer issues. Can you elaborate? I am looking to buy a V600 as it seems motorola may have addressed the issues.

 

Same here - I'm considering the V600 but don't want any issues to come up. I can't stand waiting for Verizon to come up with something.

 

I have had the V600 for 3 weeks now (ATTW/Cingular service) and haven't had any major problems. Here is a list of minor issues:

Short battery life when in permanent bluetooth search (can be turned off and just run "temporary mode"). Permanent mode is nice if you are in and out of your vechile for short trips, but not completly necessary.

Phone system on vechicle locked up on vechicle one time (fixed with a restart)

There is an 2-3 second delay when transfering call back and forth (I always tell the person on the other end to "hold on" for a brief pause).

Other than those minor issues the V600 has been a great phone. I still like the coverage of Verizon wireless, but will stick with ATTW untill contract time is up at least. And who know when Verizon will finally get a BT phone on the market.......

 

Sorry for the confusion. The bluetooth functionality worked flawlessly. However, the service was less than stellar. Some calls did not make it to the phone and then the phone took hours to display the missed calls.... which in itself puzzles me? If the phone didn't get the call, how did it know I missed 3? Anyway, there was 1 deadzone I encountered as well and that alone is enough for me to not like ATT&T.
Hopefully things are more clear now.
