aimeekittyI'm this close to going completely postal on verizon. 2 1/2 hours, 2 verizon stores and 5 phone calls later, I still am not able to transfer files from my mac to my RAZR and vice versa.
I know that this is POSSIBLE. my phone, because verizon is the evil queen, does not have OBEX, the software required for me to be able to use bluetooth. You know why? Because VERIZON INTENTIONALLY ASKED motorola to make the phones for Verizon with NO OBEX so that all Verizon's customers would have to use verizon's pay per picture service to transfer files. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. I am so angry I'm almost ill. Motorola actually TOLD me this. That Verizon intentionally did that, and plenty of websites also talk about it. Verizon's answer? "We can't give you that software at this time... sorry!" (I told them off)
My phone does not work with the USB kit because they never made a MAC version of the software needed to read the phone. I can use isync, but I can't get files to and from my phone (like pictures.)
I've heard that the 02 version of the software for my phone has OBEX on it. (this was before Verizon realized it and had OBEX erased in version 03 and 04.) My phone is running on 03.
I've heard that if I can somehow find the 02 software and flash the phone myself, then I can have OBEX, and be able to use bluetooth, and thwart the evil empire, Verizon.
HELP!! I've been trying howards forums and other forums but it seems I'm getting the "ew look it's a newbie" curse. Shit, I would pay someone to get this to work on my phone, I just need it to work! Or not work so that I can return the fucking thing and go back to my super lame archaic non-camera phone.

Though you may have to pay for this, too. :\ Depends on your service, I guess.
Sounds frustrating!
