What Bluetooth phones work with the A8? Does the Verizon 710 work now? I am on Verizon and prefer not to switch carriers. Will I really need to switch?

Of course I did a search b4 posting. I did several searches actually. I could not find the answer, otherwise I would not have posted it. A little help please. perfectlyfrank 05-06-2005, 01:42 PM two or three more years and it should be up and running.

To get the latest updates, you'll need a bluetooth card on your PC and set up a bluetooth network.....then download the patch from Verizon and upload it to your phone via bluetooth. It's a PITA the first time you do it......but once it's done....it's done. I hate setting up networks and moreso bluetooth networks!

The firmware has been officially released by Verizon so any store should be able to update it for you. The phonebook transfer does not work, but caller ID and all other functions do (signal strength, etc.). The only other issue I had was the phone periodically would fail to pair. Either turning the phone off and on or turning BT in the phone off and then on would allow it to link properly (I set up a shortcut to the BT submenu on the main mane of the phone). |
