Motorola V810

Hello eveyone,

I am new to this forum and if someone can answer me these questions I would apprecoate it very much.

I've been following the v810 for a while already, and have read most of the posts here on it. You all seem to be saying that it is not coming to Verizon and this sadly seems true. However I do see that is has been recently released for U.S. Cellular.

My main question is, on the Motorola website you can purchase the v810

(http://commerce.motorola.com/cgi-bin/ncommer ce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=260910&prmenbr=126 &phone_cgrfnbr=1&zipcode=)

and it says "Phone Only". I am wondering, if I purchase the phone there, could I then use it on Verizon's netowrk? I don't see why not but is there any reason that it wouldn't wor...

So now that USC has been selling them for a week or two - who has then and how about some reviews? I see a lot of hype and wonder if this is another V600? I don't want to spend $130 and get another Motorola piece of crap.
whats the word from people who have them and use them?
Thanks

Does anyone know the programming code for provisioning for Motorola's v810? Apparently they've changed it from the standard MENU+07883*

Thanks in advance.

As fincher said, you are about the only person on the planet who still says that Verizon will make this available to us. 😢

How confident are you? I mean is this like 100%? And is this based on your opinion from what you see on the inside, or do you know something that virually no one else does? I know it's sketchy for you to give too many details, but please give me something to hang on to so I don't kill myself trying to get one from another avenue.

And of course if you are positive, there is the even more important question of: WHEN? 🙂

Does the V810 have external caller ID?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN CEDAR RAPIDS IA WILL HAVE THE 810, I WANT ONE AND WAS CURIOUS IF ANYONE KNOW.
THANKS

Lumined says it will be on US product by end of year, and I'm hoping to hear that it will be on the v810.
Thanks,
Kp

Since my initial review I have had additional time to use the phone and have noticed several CONS this phone does possess.

-Camera
The only way to access the camera functions is via a side button. There is no way to use the camera thru the phone's own menu. This is a serious design flaw since the external buttons are more likely to be damaged thru use and if that occurs you will not be able to use the camera at all.

-Internal Display
Having the ability to use photos for the wallpaper is of course a must with a camera phone however this Motorola phone like others has the Time/Date stamp on the screen. A serious problem though is that even through phone settings you cannot not remove the stamp. So all your wallpaper has a large time & ...

It's finally coming! I'll let you all know when we get it 😁

I just went to www.hellomoto.com and clicked on moto next and the v810 is not on the list. I think the v265 is the phone that is replacing the v810.

have at it

Any formal announcement coming or not?


Guess I have to wait for the v265!!!

... so if you are interested, say so here in this thread.

Also, if you know of any distributors who are likely to carry this phone (i.e. USCC-oriented ones), say so.

FWIW I just spoke to Moto customer service and they said that Verizon will be offering the V810 next month and that a USSC V810 will not work on Verizon's network.

this phone was released today US Cellular customers, go get it!

Phonescoop has listed that the battery life is 3.75 hr talktime and 11.9 (!!!) day standby. Yet the info we just got from USCC says 2.4 hour and 4.8 day standby. quite a difference! Anyone know the real deal?

A Motorola Rep. dropped off a demo unit of the 810 and I've had the opportunity to use the phone. Here are my findings:

Size & Feel-
This phone is nearly the exact size of the Motorola V60. The company also used some of the features from the V60 such as metallic plating. This adds a very slick feel to the phone that I found to be enjoyable. The buttons are responsive and have a great tactile feel. Also Motorola took advantage of the side button concept and several quick key features are now usable with the side panel buttons, such as the camera, voice memo, voice commands & volume control. Rating A+

-Camera
Very nice camera on this phone. There is a digital zoom & the usual 3 quality settings. What stands out for this camera is the ...

I dont know if anyone watches the HBO show "entourage" but last night 2 of the characters had the v810 and their were zoomed in shots of the phone.

just thought it would be interesting to know

I purchased the A670 and I love it. I like Samsung phones. I loved the A530 but wanted the camera. Well the A670 is perfect for me! I have had the V810 for 6 weeks now and it is for sale. Sorry Moto! I payed $499.99. I will sell my V810 for $350.00 plus shipping. (it has a couple of same nick's from usuage)

In response to an email I had sent to Julia Cordua at Motorola ( http://motoinfo.motorola.com/motoinfo/contact _us.asp ), I received this response this morning from a member of the Motorola Internet Correspondence Team.

"Thank you for contacting Motorola E-Mail Support.

In reference to your inquiry, we are happy to let you know that the Motorola V810 will be available through Verizon within the fourth quarter of 2004."

However, this information was NOT confirmed by my phone call yesterday to Verizon spokesperson Brenda Raney, who was impressively non-commital on whether the V810 would be available through Verizon.

So there you go. It's definitely coming out through Verizon in 4th Quarter. Maybe.

Cheers
