You keep saying that, and that statement is totally false..... (of course if
you didn't LIE, you wouldn't have any gripe whatsoever).. Look at the
header.. we are talking VERIZON.... not some other carrier......
Verizon at various times has offered the following five bluetooth enabled
(or possible with options) phones:
Motorola E815 Verizon Wireless
Motorola Timeport 270c Alltel / Qwest Wireless / U.S. Cellular / Verizon
Wireless
Motorola V710 Alltel / U.S. Cellular / Verizon Wireless
Sony Ericsson T61c MetroPCS / Verizon Wireless
UTStarcom (Audiovox) PPC-6600 / PPC-6601 / XV6600 (HTC Harrier) Sprint /
Verizon Wireless
Not a *single one* of the phones offered by verizon have *EVER* supported
the type of file transfer profile being discussed, so it seems pretty silly
to sue for not doing something that has never been offered on any other
phone.
Who cares what other carriers have or do, they are *NOT* verizon...Apples
and oranges.. That's like suing Dodge cuz their cars don't carry as much
cargo as a ford f-550 truck.
They are all listed as:
Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology used to create PANs (Personal
Area Networks) among your devices, and with other nearby devices.
Bluetooth allows you to leave your phone in your pocket, while talking on
your phone with a Bluetooth headset - with no wires. You can also exchange
contact or scheduling information with other Bluetooth-enabled phones
nearby, or send such information to a nearby Bluetooth-enabled printer.
Another common use is to give your laptop computer or
PDA wireless
high-speed Internet access via Bluetooth and your phone.
Many newer automobiles also have Bluetooth, which can interface with a phone
in a pocket, to allow automatic hands-free phone capability.
More innovative uses include playing a game against someone with a similar
phone nearby, or using a special Bluetooth pen to send
SMS messages by
simply writing them on paper.
Blueooth functionality is divided into seperate types of connections known
as "profiles". Each of the various scenarios outlined above involve a
different profile. Not all Bluetooth devices support all profiles.
For example, a Bluetooth headset might only support the Headset profile,
while others might support both Headset and the similar Handsfree profile,
for increased compatibility. Similarly, a phone might only support the
Handsfree profile, and not the Headset profile, while other phones might
support both.
Bluetooth is named for the 10th century Viking, King Herald Bluetooth.
