Is the V710 really out

[Jd]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I got mine today. Great phone, just a few minor things I don't like. for
the screen that shows when the phone is closed, it has this stupid looking
background behind the clock and caller id etc. -- this 60s-like psychedelic
thing. I really want to get rid of it, but can't figure out how. Nothing in
the book about it. Any ideas?

The other down side is the antennae. Kind of big - I can see it snapping
off in my pocket. Solid, but longer than the one on my T-Mobile Motorola
V300. Not much I can do about that.

Anyway, otherwise, the phone seems pretty good, but its just day one

I have now had mine for about a week. Its the best phone I have had easily.
Couple minor quirks. I agree with you above I would also like to change
this but also have not found how.

Other thing is the phonebook. I really would like to have the name shown
and then when you click them it would have a list of all #'s and e-mail but
no it store's a separate name for every one. I assume this is so the voice
dialing works. To much scolling to find what who want when you a lott of
entrys. Am I missing something?

I have the Logitech bluetooth system and keyboard mouse combo. Synced up
with no issues but find limited abilties. I can hear the callers over
computer speakers and can talk back with mic. Took a little bit to set
levels. Would really like to be able to store phonebook and be able to up
and download picture's and and mp3's.

The memory card is kinda hard to find. Can see that I will have to order
this online as noone around here seems to stock this type memory card.

How do you send a picture. Mine trys then fails. Not sure why yet. I can
browse the web and send text messages fine. Anyone have any ideas.

I also got the ear bud (hs820) and it works great. Volume is quite good and
is fits well. Little weird talking around ppl as there are no wires or
anything so ppl tend to think I am talking to myself.

Overall I think its great and have no regrets. I think its maybe too early
to get a final feeling on it.
I really think Verizon cripple's too many feature's in order to make GIN
profitable. I can see the reason's behind it but would like to be able to
make my own choices to maybe use the phone as the manufactuer intended.

I will reply to my own message here: Called Verizon and found that there is
a bug in the setup on Verizon system. She changed something on my account
and it has worked fine since. She says that it is a know problem. I would
think at a .25 cents a pic that they would fix this as They are the ones who
are losing money by not fixing this.
