What plan have you got?

Verizon family. I had Cingular up until a few months ago and was using the Motorola V-551 Bluetooth. It worked fin too. I'm pretty sure if I tried to connect the Razr to my computer it would work. I just have no reason to do so. I've never heard of the bluetooth being blocked. What would be the point?

I used to have a cell that same size! I think I was part of the first generation of kids with cells. I had my first cell and a pager when I was 13 or 14. Back then pagers were all the rage. When I bought my car at 16 I had upgraded my phone, but still had my old one and kept it in the glove compartment to call 911 if I ever needed to and had forgotten my regular cell. When I traded in that car just before my senior year of college, I was surprised to find it still in the glove compartment. I hadn't seen it in years. It made me laugh. It was literally, as big as your picture

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Yeah, there is a class action lawsuit against verizon. I'll see if I can dig up the article.

If you have verizon, connecting the razr to your computer will do nothing. Verizon has crippled the bluetooth in their phones because they want you to pay for those features. They just lost big-time in a class action suit, but they haven't stopped doing it.

I'm curious why it works with the bluetooth in my car, then? Are they able to block it from connecting to the computer, but not the car?

Yes. they enable headset features and car features, but block all information transfer features.

i'm afraid your wrong on this one. I have my Blackberry right next to me and it will not only run my bluetooth reciever but log onto verizon - msn - yahoo - my e-mail - browser, well you get the drift i'm sure. Nothing has been disabled. I admittedly waited until after the lawsuit was settled, but as soon as it was i went and bought the new Blackberry model 7130E. It works fine.

They treat blackberries differently, like PDAs instead of like phones.

I had a Motorola V-700 before i bought the Blackberry, it had the same capabilities. It actually had two extra features the Blackberry doesn't, a digital camera and a movie camera, the two things i am dissatisfied with. Other than that, we've had Verizon services for years and no troubles as of yet. Our home phone service is Verizon as well, our BroadBand is Verizon as well. We didn't intentionally have everything provided by Verizon, it just turned out that way.
