Moto v710: Bluetooth for iSync and Internet Connect
Finally! I’ve got my v710 synching up in iSync and working as a modem - and all the while doing so using BT! Finally found some great instructions, plus the phone I have now is newer - last one crapped out - so most likely newer firmware version. To get this to work, you’ll need the following two pages:
First, do this: 10.4: Add Motorola V710 Bluetooth support to iSync
Then this: Motorola V710 setup as Bluetooth Modem under OS X/Panther (ignore the Panther part - I’m using Tiger and it works like a champ)
It is actually quite important that you perform the instructions in the first part before you do anything else. You will need to open up a terminal and use vim to update the (text) file (or depending on how you have finder set up you can browse there and use textedit or textmate). If you had already tried to pair the phone and did so successfully you’ll want to delete what you’ve done and start from scratch (sorry) but after altering the file. I couldn’t get anything to work until I changed that file so that seems to be the key here.
Works like a champ. iSync gets all my contacts and ical events and using the phone as a modem through BT is slow but usable for surfing. Mail is no-go on VZW, probably since I use secure imap (gmail pops fine). My firmware version is 8700_02.03.00R and, of course, ymmv.
