Well let’s see, 10 months to the date from the day I received my the settlement letter. I get my check.
Yes, it was a long road to hoe. But finally I suppose it paid off. I maxxed out the ‘reward’ by picking off a Treo 650 from their special purchase page, which ended up costing me about $20 more than I paid for the v710.
Of course they dropped the price of the Treo-650 about a week later, and the Treo 700p shipped too, but that’s OK. In the end, it all worked out.
Who’d a thunk it?

What was the settlement about?

Sorry Tim, didn’t see your comment until now.
There are other posts here that detail that. But in a nutshell, back in the day, the v710 was one of the first Bluetooth enabled phones. Verizon advertised it as being bluetooth enabled when in fact the crippled the hell out of it.
Somebody put a class action suit together and for a period if you were part of it, you got to bitch slap Verizon for false advertisement basically.
Now they advertise their bluetooth phones with an *some features disabled like OBEX.
