The first v710 Hacker's pot will be rewarded to the first individual
to provide working instructions to successfully enable OBEX and OPP
functionality on the Verizon v710 by January 3, 2005. The winner will
also have the option of remaining anonymous (so those of you with
special codes - speak up). The focus of this reward is presently on
the current (and only) version of firmware available for the v710:
8700_01.30.8F. If the pot goes unclaimed, any contributions will be
refunded**. The following is required to claim the prize:
* 1. All instructions must be complete. If software is required to
enable these features, it must be provided.
* 2. Full functionality must be enabled. Users must be able to
demonsrate proper functionality (such as transferring pictures, music
and phonebook entries via Bluetooth).
* 3. The profiles must be discoverable. The OBEX and OPP profiles
must be discoverable by another Bluetooth-enabled device
* 4. The modifications must not require any unreasonable sacrifice
of significant functionality to the phone, such as flashing the
handset with firmware from another model phone which would cause many
features to malfunction.
* 5. The modifications must be at least semi-permanent. The user
must not have to perform any lengthy tasks every time they wish to
exchange files.
The reward pot is presently over $1,000.

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! "connect to your PC or PDA whenever" Do I smell

But you can connect with them via bluetooth; that's how you use the
phone as a modem.
They didn't say what you can do when you connect, so even this
connection meets their advertising, misleading as it may be.
