Connectivity
 Bluetooth-compatible
devices like a headset (HSP) or hands-free device (HFP) can be used within
30 feet (a little short of 10 meters) from the VX5300 using Bluetooth v1.1
technology. Dial-up networking (DUN), object-push profile (OPP) for vCard
and serial ports (SPP) are also compatible with the VX5300.
The ambitious Bluetooth enthusiast can create and store 20 pairings with
the VX5300, but connect to only one device at a time. Verizon notes that
the phone may not be able to support all Bluetooth OBEX profiles.
Conclusion
Praised for its call reliability and strong battery life, the VX5300
is a straightforward and practical phone that has become one step better
with Bluetooth capabilities. The Bluetooth headset option is truly a perk
for on-the-go folks in the home, office or car.
Aside from its role as a phone, the VX5300's extra features - VGA camera
and Internet capabilities - don't make much of a splash in the greater scheme
of multifunctional devices. Without EV-DO high-speed Internet, the VX5300
is rather weak on imaging, audio, and video capabilities, items Verizon
integrated in its VCAST Music and Video subscription service.
Regardless, the VX5300 was created with a different consumer in mind.
While certain devices focus on camera or music functionality, the VX5300
focuses on the fundamentals by offering a no-nonsense user interface and
attention on reception and call quality.
With a strong battery life, improved call quality via tri-mode technology
and easy-to-use features, the VX5300 is an ideal device for users who need
a phone they can rely on.
