Motorola V810

I just checked Motorola's website and I have one question and one statement. The question: The website says it will have a speaker phone, and European V810 has one, why wouldnt the USA version? Statement: The Motorola website says SECOND QUARTER!!! If they say second, then I bet it will take Verizon's dumb ass a little longer than that 👿 . Here is the link.

Just got off the phone with moto and they said the date is pushed back to the second half of 2004. I think its about time moto gets their act together and not release phones a year over the orginal release date. While I was typing this i was talking to moto and they JUST said the v710 is going to be released in the next few days....I think the guy was on crack. Who knows. BUt the v810 is pushed back to the second half.

I was watching E! today about grammy gifts and there was a moto commercial that was showing their upcoming products. They had a couple of shots of the V810...I hope this is a sign of hope!! I think we will be seeing this phone in march. Anyone else see the commercial I am talking about???

I have been reading alot about this phone and others since my V60 is over 2 years old now.

It seams to me that this phone may never be released. From some of the things i have read here and in Howard forums the V710 may be out in the summer which would mean the V810 would only have a few months to sell. Do you guys think with all the problems Moto and Verizon may just scrap this 1 and try and push the V710 up some.

I mean if its going to be about 4-5 months different we all should just wait for the V710 with bluetooth

?? Searching on ebay for " motorola v810 " finds these 700-800 dollar phones w camcorder etc

About a week ago, the Washington Post newspaper
had an article "Wireless firms look at phones
as Limitless" that mentioned above phone was
set to be released in the second quarter of
this year. Does anyone know which model this
is, or, anything about this.... Thanks

👿 I was at Verizon the other day...and the rep I usually deal with said that he heard the V810 was delay until second quarter because Verizon had some changes requested before they would release it. He is not 100% sure, but this is the buzz going around the store...and everyone is pissed!!! I don't know about everyone else...but I am so damn sick of waiting for this stupid phone!!! by the time it comes out it's not even gonna be cool anymore.

Will the v810 have a speakerphone, and if not, why wouldnt it?

I want the V810, so please don't get me wrong, but why are all the nicer new phones only GSM? Even Motorola's best phones are now GSM, w/out a CDMA brother/sister phone. Why is this? The V600 is clearly Motorola's flagship phone, or it will be, but for the 32 million people in the US with Verizon we are stuck waiting for the V810, or buying an LG. I have nothing against LG, but it ain't a Motorola. This is more of me venting than anything else, but I still don't get what is so hard about making a GSM phone also available in CDMA!!! 👿

I've been waiting to buy a cam phone for so long.

Verizon and Motorola keep delaying the release of V810 and thats so annoying cuz its supposed to be 25% lighter and smaller than other similiar phone from Samsung & Audiovox. Whats more annoying is that no cell phone manufacturer seems to be doing much R&D for CDMA phones.

On 2/13/04, in a email to me, a Motorola rep said that the V810 will be availble in March 04. And I got another email today (2/20/04) in which another Motorola rep said that the V810 will be out in the 2nd half of 2004.

Below are excerpts from emails from Motorola reps abouts the V810:

Thank you for your recent correspondence with Motorola.

Regarding yo...

😈

well i dont know about us, in bellsouth central america they are launching the phone if you get on the phones section of bellsouth nicaragua they already have it, and my cust rep told me it is supposed to be launching in panama in mid march so my guess is that it wont take too much for that phone to get to the US

The Washington Post newspaper this week
published an article "Wireless firms look
at phones as limitless"
It stated that Kyocera was to introduce
a verizon wireless 1.2-megapixel camera
phone during the second quarter this year..
Does anyone know which Kyocera phone
this is, or anything about this ?

So what is the latest on the 810 my contact acted clueless when we spoke yesterdau so just curious if they are still shooting for March...

does this phone really not have one? how does that work with hands free driving equipment and the new laws that don't let you talk while driving withou tthem?

does anybody have any new info on a release date for the v810? noone works for a cell store or verizon outlet?? 😉

I dunno about anyone else...but this phone looks suspiciously like the t720 series with nothing but a new paint job. I'm wary.

THis phone has anything anyone could possibly want in a phone, and more. It comes with a TV tuner too, so you can watch TV, like you need that 😉 This is a Vodafone site, so I am guessing there is no possibility of it coming out in the US, and a slim possibility of it working on Verizon, but other GSM networks can use it, if the phone is unlocked. Check it out.

So I know that we still have yet to see the v810. But just in case you're interested, just yesterday the FCC granted approval of the NEXT Verizon cell phone from Motorola.

Looks pretty damn cool to me; By the looks of it, I assume that it is the CDMA verson of the v600, which I know many of us knew was coming. Notice the shape and structure of the phone. It also looks like a spin-off of the v880 that is currently in China. Note that it has camera with flash, and a COLOR external caller ID, which if it is like the v880, will show you the picture of who is calling on the outside.

I just called verizon and inquired about the v810 again. And this time the woman said she had no info about the phone or when it would come out. It seems as if each time you call someone else tells you somthing differently, so thier opinions dont matter. This woman also had no clue that the samsung a610 came out already. She actually told me to check out phone scoop. But if you think about it logically, 1st quarter for verizon ends on March 31. The phone is supposed to be out in the 1st quarter so it has to be sometime next month. UNless, the period ends on April 30, which is possible, because someone also told me that so i dont know... 😁
