[brasileiro lee]

per internal info dated dec 14.04 vzw might release a firmware to uncripple the BT....for west vzw employees can go to infomanager (intranet)....

i just spoke with someone at a vzw store that said something similar. and he's a hofo regular too, but he's an lg kiddie.


not to get anyones hopes up.

BT ain't obex...we already know they're enabling bt sync. Not news at all.

I've been reading this and other forums, and I don't think this is old news at all. In fact, this could be a really good thing.

Given the circumstances surrounding the Texas betaware, I'm guessing that they are finding it difficult to partially unlock BT. Maybe they're looking at undoing the whole thing. The wireless market is very competitive, and the other carriers are offering many full-featured bluetooth options. I could see how VZW would be willing to take a haircut on GIN revenue in order to keep customers.

Good news, maybe! Thanks for sharing this rumor with us.

If you dont mind me asking, what does the Internal Information say in regards to uncrippling BT?

[jasoraso]

This sounds like GREAT NEWS!!!!! FULL OBEX supported by VZW! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nikolasmor]

Ummmm actually its just BT no OBEX, sorry didn'y want you to get excited like I did

[PSOmasterX77]

And, if the bluetooth is uncrippled, than OBEX is enabled, mainly because OBEX is a profile of bluetooth I still doubt they will, but I hope they do, because I will rush straight out and pick up a Secure Digital and USB bluetooth adaptor the second it happens

theyd better if they know whats good for their health

A tech support person at Motorola, in the last few days, has voluntarily confirmed that bluetooth is to be firmware uncrippled in the very near future, on the Verizon v710's.

Someone at Motorola told me that they'd have OBEX fixed at end of September/early October.. Then in late october they told me by end of November at the latest. A few days ago they said "soon" but refused to give a date.

Motorola tech support knows as much as I do, which is NOTHING. Until someone hands me my phone back with OBEX support, I'm not believing jack.

In fact, I will never buy another Motorola or Verizon product because of this. It's the shadiest I've been treated by a large company.

"we never stop working for you" fuk that S*hit. More like "we never stop trying to fill OUR pockets" dont they thing the massive monthly bill from me is enough? Make the fukin customer happy and enable the fukin OBEX!

I think Verizon is hard up for some cash... probably to close the gap on their "revenue leak" by going for that NuclearElephant V710 Hacker Reward Pot. I say let them release it first, then tell them they're not eligible.
