Just got a new v710 -- love everything about it, except the free
verizon advertizing on the external display while it's flipped open.
Anyone know a way to change the text from "Verizon Wireless" to my own
message?

Thanks,
Rick

It's identifying what system you are on currently.
As in VZW Wireless, Extended system or roaming.
Actually serves a useful function, not "advertising".

My v60i phone said "Motorola" on the external display.

The v710 main screen will tell me what system I'm on, so why show this
to everyone else this who is looking at the phone while I'm talking?
There has to be a way to change the text...
