All your phonecam pics are belong to Verizon

Tireless wireless pundit Glenn Fleishman says:

Verizon Wireless is being sued because they disabled access to Bluetooth file transfers on their version of the Motorola v710. Mind you, I'm not sure they ever promised that Bluetooth file transfer would be enabled; seems a little obvious, but Motorola doesn't think so. Essentially, Verizon has said, "Those photos you took? Ours. Unless you pay for a data plan or photo plan or some kind of plan to get your photos off your phone. Ta-ta!" Subscribers may be disgruntled, but unless Verizon Wireless misled, this may be a perfectly reasonable stance.

Update: An anonymous reader says, "Here's a workaround. Mobile PhoneTools version 3.0 software CD plus USB Cable - 98653H. It's compatible with the V710 (according to the page) It's a data cable and the software to link your phone to a PC. I use it to back up my phone book, keep my calendar up-to-date, pull photos off my phone and put in MP3 files for ringtones." Link
