Any other deets or links to info on the i930? Pics? FCC Approval? Hook us up! I know it's not as hot as the others metnioned in terms of EDGE, etc., but its all some of us contracted nextel subs have to look forward to in the next few months other than the sprint-nextel hub bub.

Bluetooth Adapters For Motorola Phones DON"T WORK! Don't waste $40
NEVER buy a bluetooth adapter for a motorola phone! THEY DON'T WORK! I found mine at Radio Shack! And i sold them at my store, until i tried it for myself! They are horrible! Just get a bluetooth phone! If you can't afford them, the SAVE!
THE NEW E815
I have the NEW Acura TL with bluetooth, and the V710 had a few bluetooth problems, i'm hoping the E815 doesn't! Oh and NEVER buy a bluetooth adapter for a motorola phone! THEY DON'T WORK!
