  Motorola V710 Free the Bluetooth
Review created: 10/15/05
80 of 101 people found this review helpful.

This was Verizon’s first phone with Bluetooth technology. The Motorola V710 was the pioneer of Bluetooth for CDMA Networks, people could not wait to get their hands on this phones anxiously waiting for what it was though as the phone that would save Motorola’s Curse on the CDMA market.

But in the end it wasn't meant to be, Verizon Wireles with their infinite wisdom decided to cripple the V710’s bluetooth capabilities. This new promissing technology would never reach its fullest potential thanks to Verizon. Ofcourse they never advertised this little problem and in the true spirit of America they were taking to court (google v710 class action lawsuit)

Pros:

1. Good Sound Quality
2. Good Reception this phone picks up both Digital and Analog Signals
3. Upgradable memory.
4. Big screen for some of you that are going blind
5. Flash aka LED Light doubles as a las resort light.

Cons

1.Medicocre battery life – You can always get an extended battery altought it will make your already huge phone even bigger.

2.Hard to personalize unless you are Motorola Software Engineer

3.Bluetooth is crippled, we have Verizon to thank for that.

4.Oh man and the camera, this phone should not even be called a camera phones, I get better pictures from my 5 year old web cam. Unless you are taking a picture on a bright sunny day the pictures would look like utter crap. The camera is very sensitive to low light levels.

5. Is a Motorola some of you know what I am talking about.

  Alright... i guess

I was extatic when I got this phone (I paid an exorbitant amount for this phone, having bought it the day after it came out... oops. Now it's only $100-something with new plans... *sigh*) I loved the bluetooth feature of this phone. It was the deciding factor in my purchase.

Pros:
Bluetooth headset and modem capability (works very well)

Clear calls

Good signal reception

Good quality speaker (never used a headset for mp3 features)


Cons:
You can't change the outside wallpaper

Battery life

Camera picture quality (but who cares? I'm not much for the hype of camera cell-phones... If you want a good quality picture, why not use a camera?)

new firmware disables transfer of mp3's to phone to use as ringer to force you to purchase ringtones through Verizon's 'get it now' service (if you already own the CD, why have to pay for the sound/song again?) But I guess this is a Verizon/V710 con, and not motorola's fault.

I find that the battery runs out of juice too quickly (even without making large amounts of phone calls), and, as seems to be common with all Motorola cell phones, the charge port wears out, so over time, it gets harder and harder to get the phone to actually charge. I've found myself propping it up against objects to hold the cord against the phone, propping it on it's side, or any number of ways to get the contacts to touch just right. Oh, and pray to God you don't get the "unable to charge" message. I had to make a claim on my Verizon (asurion) insurance to get a replacement, because mine just stopped charging. I've had the replacement for a little over a month now, and the power port is already giving me cheek.


For all of my complaining... I still love the little blighter. Oh well... at least I get a discount offa my next phone for sticking with this heap for two years.

  Good Phone
Review created: 05/06/08

The Motorola V710 is a good phone with many features. I decided to buy it because it was blue tooth enabled and would work with my wireless headset. It also has a camera and video camera feature. They work well, but the pictures aren't as high quality as my spouses motorola razor phone. Overall, it is a good phone and I would recommed it to others.

  Excellent Motorola V710
Review created: 04/15/08

I like this item because of the features that the phone carry. The phone looks barely used and works very well. I decided to buy this item because the seller was very specific with all details and after receiving the phone the seller was very accurate with the description of the phone. Very pleased with this item.

  Review for Motorola V710 phone
Review created: 03/09/08
by:

I bought this phone to add to my existing US Cellular account for my son. It really is a cool little phone, although the ad for it emphasized so much on what "great" quality the digital camera part of it is. It is not that great. Outside the picture quality is good, but inside your home the pictures were very fuzzy, static looking. I know lighting plays a major role in the quality of the pics, but I have a Motorola RAZR and comparing the pics that mine took inside with the ones that his took inside were uncomparable. This is my main problem with the phone. Also, when the battery is out of the phone, the back of the phone attaches securely to the phone, but when you put the battery in, it doesn't completely close (it DOES snap shut, and WILL stay, but there is definitely a visible gap). Other than these few things the phone works great. Was in AWESOME condition. Seller was SUPER!!! Super fast shipping. NO COMPLAINTS WHATSOEVER!!

I like the motorola V710. When I recently hooked up to a service provider, I wanted something inexpensive but had the package that the expensive ones had. Looking throught the selections on ebay, V710 was one of my choices and as an owner of other cell phones this was the one for me. The draw back to buying a used cell phone versus a new one, is like buying a used vehicle not only you buy the vehicle you bought other previous owners headaches. From now I buy new.

  Get your FREE PS3!!! I did it and it WORKS!!!
Review created: 02/29/08
by:

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It
literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I
promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account
status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you
on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below,
register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete
just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise
your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other
sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different
pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else
to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not
use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Posterpass.com and paid only $10 for 4 posters). Look at the offers and choose the one
that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which
goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your
own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4490020

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and
refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my
ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

  Great Phone
Review created: 02/26/08
by:

Of all the phones I have ever owned this one has the best reception, by far. To me that is the most important thing, after all it is a phone. The sound quality is very good. The speakerphone works well. The camera is OK, not the best. The MP3 player works fine, but unfortunately is not possible to rewind/fast forward. The menus are intuitive.

  The Motorola V710..Much more than just a phone.
Review created: 02/25/08
by:

I first got interested in this phone after I bought the Motorola SD4500 Color Home Cordless Phone system. It allows you to add up to eight extension phones, video monitors or interfaces to your home phone. In addition, the SD4505 optional cordless charger and cellphone interface module allows you to interface your home phone with a limited number of Motorola Cell Phones such as the V710. Shared phone directories, shared call records and the ability to answer calls from either your cordless or your cell is a very useful feature.

The V710 is certainly a spectacular cell phone all by itself. I put a two gigabyte mini SD flash chip into it which allows me to load and watch DAYS of movies on it's screen, to store endless MP3 clips for its MP3 player or to take albums of pictures with the built-in camera and camcorder.

Most cell phones are nowhere near loud enough to be heard using the handsfree or speakerphone system. NOT the V710! Its tiny speaker produces enough good quality audio to keep your deaf Grandma as happy as a clam.

It is for the most part very easy to use and can be made to interface with your computer for two-way exchanges of movies, pictures, files, ringtones and music with a $10 optional charging/data USB cable. Even though I'm not a gamer, the phone comes with a number of games, certain firmware (Telus Included)supports Java to enable a huge number of additional games to be loaded.

THE CONS: Verizon and Telus have both deliberately disabled/crippled the Motorola V710's native ability to transfer files by bluetooth and to use its built-in ability to support Motorola Phone Tools spectacular file transfer and conversion program. Some vendors on E-Bay will sell you the info to enable MPT support for about $5, but if you want to use the bluetooth for anything more than attaching an earphone, forget it. Workarounds (as yet) to revive the full BT create more problems than they solve.

I couldn't get the voice digit dial recognition to work other than to say "SAY AGAIN", but the voice dial is easy, convenient and works perfectly. The voice memo feature is also convenient and easy to use.

They use plastic rather than glass windows on the inner and outer displays, which means that they scratch pretty easily. Fortunately, the windows are just sticky glued in place and can be easily peeled off for relacement. Attractive snap-on cases are also available to cut down the scratching.

Its a little heavier than I'd like but you have to give up something for a long battery life.

The real question is "Would I buy it again ?" And the real answer is " I sure would, Its the BEST phone I've ever had ! " Now if we could only get the Telcos to keep their grubby and greedy little paws off Motorola's firmware, life would be real real real good. "Beam me up Scotty, there's no intelligent telcos down here!"

I bought this phone being told it was an Alltel phone. When I rec'd it, I took it to Alltel to begin service for my son. This was a Christmas gift for him of which he was so very excited about.
The phone was NOT an Alltel phone and I was out the money....I tried to contact the seller with no help from him...I always got voice mail and noone ever called me back.
I took this to paypal dispute and now since I didnt check my e-mail on time...2days late....I have been refused my money back!!!
Dont buy anything from this seller!!!!! I learned 2 good lessons.....I wont buy ANYTHING at all from e-bay or this seller.
Christmas next year wont include e-bay or H H Marketplace!

  Sold STOLEN cell phone-not doing anything to fix
Review created: 02/17/08
by:

FACTS: paid instantly for the (Qwest) Motorola V710 and that includes $16.95 to ship a phone that weighs less than a lb. - it took two weeks to arrive. When the phone arrived, it was in new condition as advertised. Called Qwest to activate the phone and the Qwest representative said that the serial number did not match anything in Qwest's database. This representative informed me that in order for this number to not be in their database, it had to be stolen from the U.S. warehouse before it went out to Qwest stores or centers. I explained this to the seller in two different emails and have sent a total of five emails regarding the phone. After the fourth email I received one email from the seller (pharonicqueen70@yahoo.com) to return the phone and they will send me a new one. After explaining that the phone is my only leverage in this transaction and that I would return the one I have after I had in my possession a phone that works, there were no more communications. This entire time I have not left any negative feedback, as I believed that this must all be a mistake. I now believe that at the least, this seller does not wish to take responsibility for selling stolen goods. I have left my email and phone number with the seller and no calls.

The reason I bought the phone on ebay to begin with is the belief that selling people products at a "reduced price" (they make $ even at the reduced prices) in order to trap them into a contract is wrong (because all cell companies do this, it has somehow been accepted as reasonable). It's not reasonable. So, to purchase a stolen phone on ebay, just rubs it all in even further. I trust people to be honest at nature and I always will and this does not mean that when I feel that others should take responsibility, that I will not ask them to step up. Hey PharonicQueen70, step up.

I received the first phone quickly (within 2 days). I activated it and since I rarely use my phone, did not realize for several days that the connection was full of static and the person on the other end could not hear me. At exactly 14 days, I sent an email stating the problems that I had. A reply was sent stating they were sorry and as soon as they received my phone, a new one would be sent out. Within four days, I had my new phone which works wonderfully. I would trust this company again.

The phone was in good condition when I got it. I bought it for someone for x'mas because he needed blue tooth and the Qwest service. Even though this was marked as a Qwest phone, it was not on Qwest's network, so I had to return the phone. It makes me angry to waste money on shipping for both ways and because of the unknown like this, I will probably not use ebay anymore.
