Verizon and Motorola at the Wrong end of a Class action suit over the V710

Well, it looks like the "crippling" of the Bluetooth in the Motorola V710 that Verizon surely required could cause trouble for both companies. Who knows if the suit will get anywhere.

But how could the suit get anywhere -- it's not as if those features were advertised as being there and then weren't there. Supporting Bluetooth doesn't imply any sort of set of profiles.

Don't get me wrong. I want my OBEX and Serial profiles available. But still...
