Why blame Motorola?  Isn't it the "V" company that is causing your problem?
Is that not true of any phone branded by "V"?

My Cingular Motorola V551 transfers pictures via Bluetooth with the driver
that came with the Bluetooth adapter.

If your Very Big Carrier likes Yellow and "short races" you just need to
update the MPT software (for free) to the latest version. As of last week
version 4.3.6 is available through the update service.

Don't blame Motorola, you entered into a contract with a service provider
known for limiting free actions on their supplied handsets.  If you wanted
to have more functionality, than just "A phone is a phone" then you should
have checked out your requirements before entering into a V contract.

Digital cameras and MP3 players require PC/Apple connectivity, hence
software is included in the purchase price mainly a driver to allow the
computer and device to connect. If you want more image/sound manipulation
than the often included software allows then you have to fork out for it. If
you want "free" included software with a mobile then buy a Nokia and see how
shite their software is.  You've paid for the software in the phone price,
the MP3 player price etc. *but* you can't buy the item without in most cases
*and* when you can, there's little price reduction.

Use the V3C for calls and a camera for picture then you can ignor MPT
altogether and won't incur any additional service charges.

It's not Motorola's fault that Verizon cripples their phones.

Don't blame Motorola for the crap Verizon pulls. Actually do blame them,
since they should tell the carriers to shove it when the carriers come
to them with requests to de-feature the handsets. It hurts Motorola's
reputation to de-feature phones.

I don't think that this type of thing is limited to Motorola. It's
really Verizon's fault. I was upset too, then I corrected the problem
and moved on. It takes only a few minutes to correct the problem, though
of course only a fraction of a percent of users will know how to do the
hacking. At least the Motorola handsets are popular enough that there
are people willing to figure out the hacking, and post it for free.

The problem where I live is that if you want excellent coverage, you're
forced to use Verizon. Cingular, Sprint, and T-Mobile have significantly
poorer coverage, so you grin and bear it with Verizon, and hack the
handsets. I found it amusing last week, to be roaming, with my
Verizon/Motorola V325, onto Cingular's network out in the Florida
Everglades. If I had had Cingular service, I couldn't have used
Cingular's network, as the only network out there is AMPS, and Cingular
sells no AMPS capable phones anymore. Of course I was paying 69¢ per
minute for the privilege of roaming.

Whenever I see the Consumer Reports survey, in one sense I'm glad that I
have the carrier that has the best coverage across the U.S., but I know
that Verizon sees their significantly better network as an invitation to
continue pulling stuff like the handset de-featuring.

I'd love to see an ad campaign by carriers that don't cripple the
handsets, that attacked Verizon for doing so. It could be two Razrs side
by side, with MPT up on the screen, and two users each trying to
transfer a photo to their computer.

It would be nice if MPT were included with the phones, but that means
that the carrier would be expected to support the application, and no
way that any carrier would want to support a piece of crap like MPT. It
decides whether to connect to your phone based on lunar tides, it's the
most unstable modern application that I've seen.
