Samsung u740 on Verizon

Here is a gem of a phone, which can properly handle both audio and photo AND gives you a qwerty keyboard, but with 2 fatal errors:

1.  No apparent way to sync your contacts with your PC directly...presumably you would need to have a corporate exchange server to do it.  Brilliant!

2.  It’s a music phone WITHOUT stereo bluetooth support.  HELLO???  Is anyone home?  We all know Samsung is quite capable, but Verizon has now set a new standard for illogical device crippling.

...and, here’s a Bonus Blunder:

Without stereo bluetooth, naturally you would resort to your wired 2.5mm or 3.5mm headphones/earbuds, right?  Well, sorta.  You need some clunky adapter (included) to be able to plug in your 2.5mm phones.  And if your phones happen to be 3.5mm, like mine, you will then need another adapter! 

Can you imagine what it would look like to have this cool, sleek black RAZR-like phone with all these adapters sticking out of it, just so that you can be hands-free and listening-ready?

Thanks, guys.
