u dont need to worry about any of the "crippled" features. For the most part, you can use Bluetooth...the only major drawback is sending files back and to the phone via bluetooth (pictures, videos, music, etc...) this is
supposedly to protect its customers...

who knows....but the v710 works great as a bluetooth modem...i use it all the time...and as far as a headset you cant go wrong with a sony ericson hbh-300....anyways the V710 is the best phone i have ever had as well as the best reception of any phone i have ever used...
i would definately recommend it! :approve:
