I recently read a review/comment from a guy on PhoneScoop where he said
that the biggest problem with the v710 is not the phone itself, but the
users who won't take the time to learn how to use it. For the record...
I could not agree more, but must add: "whiners don't read the
screen" !!!
At last count, I have found no less than 14 different sites where users
have slammed the phones' MP3 playing capabilities because it will only
play one file - then quit. The camera capabilities were also slammed
over and over.
Along with some other misleading negative comments, this was almost
enough to make me pass on the unit all together. If you have had that
experience too, then this message may be of interest to you.
With Version 8700_01.30.8f there is an option to create a playlist of
MP3 files. When you want to play more than one file, put it in a
playlist and play the playlist. Works fine lasts long time.
The camera problems, though some folks' hardware related, are mostly
solved by simply modifying/adjusting the camera settings; and don't be
in a hurry to click and send.
IMO, the v710 is the best phone that Roto-mola ever made. I strongly
encourage those who have reservations to take advantage of Verizon's
Worry Free Guarantee and try one, despite the negative reviews from
users who never took the time to master the feature packed ultra capable
device.
