That's what I was saying, that only verizon has this idea that bluetooth functionality needs to be crippled to make money... Most other companies have no problem with letting customers make full use of the features they pay for in their phones.
What ever happened to demanding quality service from companies you pay money to? I went out and bought that phone the day it came out, and returned it exactly 14 days later because it lacked the features that I (and many others) were looking forward to.
Verizon says you don't need OBEX because they don't want you to be able to transfer pictures directly to your computer, so they can charge you extra money to use their picture mail service. Putting profits that far ahead of the customer turns my stomach. T-Mobile's bluetooth phones allow OBEX transfers (at least the Ericcson 610 does), so it's not unheard of for companies to allow this.
Frankly, I was looking forward to switching to verizon and the v710. Now I'm thoroughly disappointed.
Erm... any suggestions for good phones / providers that have decent camera's and bluetooth file transfers?
Oh, and the picture quality on the v710 was thoroughly disappointing.
I've been wondering this for a while, and this article seemed like a good place to pose the question.
Is there any way to program plugins for iPod's interface? I've done a fair amount of research through google and iPod message boards, and have found precisely zilch about how to code programs for iPod. Is it possible?

Damn! Not again! I just had that replaced last week...
ok... I deserved that... Note to self: don't post when you're too tired to think.
Pardon me, but are you a sheep?
