My Verizon plan is up in another couple weeks and I was thinking about the 710, any thoughts boyz?

 

i have it and like it a lot. i lot of people dont though. i have not had any problems with mine. i love the moto bluetooth headset and speaker. thats one of the main reasons i got it.

 

hey berner, it doesn't look like the headset has a boom mic, can people hear you OK? what about sound level? I have a 'vert that I avoid talking on my phone now b/c i can't hear people well enough in the headset on my motorola. that's a big question for me

 

the headset is awesome. i have no problems hearing people and they can hear me fine as well. its louder then any other headset i have used which surprised me cause the last one was a jabra that had a cone that directed noise in my ear. when it comes to wind, there is no interference i have noticed yet. the voice command is available right from the headset which is an awesome feature. just hit the button on the headset, say a name or number and it calls it. you can say camera, and the camera function pulls up on the phone.

 

just came back from a work party...and well some serious serious phones are coming out!!!

 

so you sayin' I should wait Mikey? I'm a Verizon user btw, any "news" would be great

 

cant drop specific news....but i just saw alot of nice toys and i've was playing with them...

Yuppiecl was there with me so we both agreed some nice stuff..especially by kyocera i was pretty shocked....

I am sure some other memebers on the board who are in the industry might be able to give you date info..

 

i got it too... with the bluetooth headpeice...

NEVER AGAIN WILL I GET A PHONE WITHOUT BLUETOOTH

its an awesome phone... its got "speech recognition" awesome shit...

camera kinda sucks but other than that the phone is awesome
9.5/10

 

My Moto T730 now has voice recognition-why do you like the bluetooth so much if I can ask?

 

you are right. i cant wait for some of the new stuff to some out. i have been testing the 8000 for a couple weeks now and it is sick. must say the new kyocera kx2 is going to be the uglyest pos we have ever sold though. but yeah, many, many sick phones coming out

 

I am on my 3rd v710. This phone drops signals every once in a while, unfortunately, and will need to get it replaced.

The phone is a nice phone, the two previous simply locked up on me without any reason, not sure why.

I have the Motorola Bluetooth car kit installed in my car, and really like it. Bluetooth really makes this phone-

 

to those who have the v710. Isn't it a little too bulky and heavy?

I've gotten used to small, light flip phones from Verizon over the years, and thought this was too big.

 

ive been using bluetooth over the last week, its great. For a few reasons:

1) you can charge the phone and speak on it without having to hold it with the cord attached.
2) you have a range of 30-50 feet no problem speaking without wires.
3) you can answer the phone just buy pushing in the button on the headset which makes it virtually handsfree, great for driving.
4) you can connect it to your pc without wires.
5) its pimp get one

no wires =

 

I went from a Motorola Vulcan 8162 (digital only, smallest phone released in USA I think) to the v710... It's a fairly big phone, but Bluetooth and speakerphone, along with Analog capabilities (and GREAT reception) make me enjoy the phone alot-
