Motorola V710 review

[Viipottaja]

Thanks for the great review. In the intro you say that people have been dying for a CDMA with bluetooth in the US. That brought to my mind Nokia 6255. Its CDMA and with bluetooth, but is it out on any carrier yet and whom do you expect to have it?

Btw, looked at Nokia USA website and could not find the 6255 on the phone list.. did they cancel it or is it because its not out yet? :(

Nice pictures, good description.

Any chance that people from Verizon reading this might suddenly be inspired to no longer cripple their phones?

(I realize that what I just said could be a bit of a stretch...) :)

Think that the outgoing voice issue could be fixed in a future firmware upgrade?

As to a firmware issue, Motorola was not sure, though my rep there nodded silently when I complained of the issue. They were aware of it.
