Verizon has a bluetooth phone? NOT!

If you were one of the Verizon Wireless customers who were overjoyed to hear they were adding a Bluetooth enabled phone to their system, then you may want to check this article out.  Be careful about buying one of these v710 phones from Verizon.  Apparently they have disabled about 90% of the good functionality that Bluetooth will give you, plus a whole bunch of other things.  Too bad I’m stuck with them for another year and half due to their contract.

Oh, BTW, if you are interested here is a spec list of what the phone is actually capable of.

While I understand that a company’s purpose is to make money, come on….this is just blatant “you’ll play our rules or we’ll take our bat and ball and go home!”.
