Crippled phone (Score 1)

I own the V710 and for the most part it is a good phone. I bought it knowing that BT was crippled; I figured on having the phone for the two years and within that time frame Verizon would break down and turn on OBEX (or someone hack it.)Also I like the free wap feature.

I don't know if this is old news on /. but nuclear elephant had a cash prize for anyone that hacks OBEX on V710. No one could although there are a lot of cool hacks that were posted. Especially Super Dave's.

Being from Mass. I have to rely on Verizon as their service is the best (I haven't tried ATT/Cingular since the merge.)

I would join a suit if one came about in MA just to stick it to them and maybe get some free loot.

F Verizon.
