    any good/bad on the Motorola v265?

    I see that it is cheaper than the Motorola V710 with a smaller display
    screen prolly not bluetooth.

    According to phonescoop, the V265 has a camera but no Bluetooth. Since the
    camera brings in $$ for picture messaging, but there are no extra-cost
    features associated with Bluetooth, I suspect that it will be a while
    before we see a non-camera phone with Bluetooth from VZW. :-(

    BTW, what does "prolly" mean?

    Verizon Wireless does not like Bluetooth because they feel it's still not
    secure enough. Remember that CDMA was developed by the Qualcomm and the US
    Gov. and it's up to military specs and all that good stuff. They don't want
    to create a big security loophole by widely implementing something like
    Bluetooth.

    No offense, but that's nonsense.

    Camera is better in 710. Price is higher for 710 (2X in NJ).

    Had a 265 for 5 days. Like it. But not a heavy camera user.

    It is tri-mode and reception seems pretty good.

    See the reviews at phonescoop.com; they appear to indicate that the V265
    is superior to the V710 (as long as you don't care about the camera).

    Re: motorola V265

    Wife got a v265 about a week ago. Loves it.

    I think the camera stinks, but have no experience with others to compare it
    to. I'm of the "I'd rather have a remote car unlocker in my cellphone than a
    camera" school, though....sorry.

    One big advantage (for us) was not having to learn a new UI. The transition
    from her v60 was really easy.

    HTH,

    I bought the 265 exactly because the camera is irrelevant to me AND the
    reviews of the 710 were (almost uniformly) poor. Your stated advantage
    is the same as mine. I like what I've seen thus far for 265 performance.

    According to the VZW website, this phone does not support National
    Access. Is this true? If so, It cannot be used as a modem with USB
    cable and PC.

    I wonder if Motorola will bring out a version of this phone without a
    camera? Anyone know?

    The V260 is this phone without a camera. But VZW doesn't use it.

    The v260's release on Verizon is imminent. They already have the interactive
    user guide for it up.

    Not really. Phone vendors have different OS's, etc in their phones that
    are potentially subject to worms or hacking, particularly PDA's. If your
    phone was able to be hacked via Bluetooth, then started up a data sessions
    pinging the entire Internet, what would you do when the bill came,
    especially if you didn't have a data plan? Call VzW and demand a refund.
    What if it started dialing long distance calls, or forwarding your number
    somewhere else? Verizon has to protect itself and its customers from this
    sort of thing, so they are moving very cautiously in these areas.
