Mototola Bluetooth accessory

I just got the Motorola Bluetooth accessory for the CDMA T720/730/v60/etc
(DC600 - S9874). These phones do not support Bluetooth. This adapter
presents itself to the phone as a headset if talking to a Bluetooth
headset, or a data cable if talking to the Motorola Bluetooth USB
adapter, or a car kit if talking to the Motorola Wireless Car Kit.
It plugs into the accessory connector at the bottom of the phone, and
also has a plug for the headset socket. It draws power from the phone,
but you can plug the phone charger into the adapter. The phone has no
clue that there is a Bluetooth adapter involved.

Pros:

1) It works as advertised, even on phones with VZW software, since the
adapter simulates supported accessories.

2) The headset and adapter use standard Bluetooth profiles, so the
headset will work with phones which have Bluetooth built-in.

Cons:

1) It seems to REALLY suck down the phone's battery, even in standby.

2) It adds about an inch to the length of the phone, and 0.7 oz. to
the weight.

3) The wire from the adapter to the headset plug looks real kludgy.

4) Functionality supported by the headset such as voice-dial is not
available. Since the phone thinks it is talking to a Motorola headset,
the only functionality supported from the Bluetooth headset is to adjust
volume, answer and hang up calls, and redial last called number.

5) Since there are no configuration screens for the adapter (one function
button and two LEDs), it is limited in the devices it can talk to (such
as supporting only a fixed set of passkeys).

Piece of **** Verizon is too cheap to give it's customer's a native
bluetooth phone. They've been so busy with marketing and sucking everyone's
money out of their pocket, they completely forgot about updated some of
their old hardware. All they seem to care about is if every god damn phone
has a camera and GET IT NOW. Fortunately, thank god there are other cellular
companies that do pay attention to other areas of their own company and have
loads of great phones and newer technology. Having bluetooth built into the
phone is fabulous and battery life is great. I *still* would have been
waiting because Verizon's first attempt to get a native bluetooth phone out
may not even come this year. Do you ****ing believe that? Some of the anal
dickheads around here will just reply with, "well at least you can make a
call". It's very predictable now. They're god damn brainwashed.

Have you considered anger management classes? You sound on the edge of
"postal."

Motorola V710 had full page ad in People this week. Seems
like it should be getting close to being available. The "V" is
for Verizon I'm assuming(?), since I haven't seen it available for
other services either.

I just picked up a DC600 and an HS810 this past week to use with my v60i
and v60p in conjunction with my Sony Clie UX50 and my Mac Powerbook.


It seems to work for data, but I'm having one big problem. I seem to
not be getting full 1XRTT speeds. The whole setup seems to be stuck at
2KBps or 1600-1800bps - WAY below what it should be. I know what you're
all going to say... it's connecting to QNC instead of NA or EN, but I've
used all the different modem scripts I could find. Also, I'm seeing the
same thing on both my Clie and the Powerbook, so I'm thinking it's a
problem with the DC600 especially since I've used the v60p with a USB
cable and gotten 16-18KBps. It's killing me that my t68i with GPRS is
STILL faster than this new setup I'm using. I have no idea how to solve
this. Has anyone managed to get north of 10KBps over the BT connection?

I haven't gotten iSync to work. I don't think the necessary profile is
available on the DC600. The v60p doesn't have any storage space that I'm
aware of so transferring stuff here and there isn't an issue.

Like I said, I also picked up an HS810 Bluetooth Headset that seems to
work perfectly with the DC600 but for the Voice Dialing feature that
only works by pressing the Voicedial button on the phone. Pressing the
multifunction button on the headset results in an error.

All in all, the DC600 is a decent piece of hardware, but if the
throughput issue can't be resolved, I'd call the DC600 borderline
useless. The flip side of the coin is that it's a relatively new piece
of hardware, and it's anyone's guess where it goes in the coming months.
You have to give Moto credit for being able to sell a $40 adapter that
works across almost their entire line to enable Bluetooth functions.
We'll see what happens from here.

Articles in magazines or newspapers have nothing to do with when a phone is
released. That phone won't be fully released until maybe this winter. And
when it does, my god all the bugs it's going to have. You won't believe how
many problems they're going to have with it...and this is why it's called
the V710. Several months after Verizon uses it's own paying customer's to
test the V710 they will make another model called the V720. And all the
idiots who bought the V710 who gave Verizon free R&D will be screwed and
won't be able to upgrade to the V720. It's typical with this company....and
you will see how exactly I'm correct about this. Verizon DOES use it's own
customer's for R&D and while it sucks the money out of the phone purchases
from you they don't give you any rebates or benefits on a purchase of the
final/fixed phone. Yea, it's a scam, but for some reason people do it.

Thanks Charles...I was about to purchase this device. Think I'll pass now.

Did you try the Verizon Dialer program?

I wasn't aware that there was a dialer for the Mac or the Palm. Am I
mistaken?
