Motorolas Poor Support for Java Developers

If the following experience is anything to go by, MotoDev, Motorolas Developer site, must be full of inaccurate information. I recently purchased a v500 phone from eBay because MotoDev says it supports still image capture (JSR135) via Java. After much time wasted, I find that it does not. I then purchased a v80 because this site says it Bluetooth access (JSR82) from Java… more time wasted to find out that no, it doesn’t! These may be old handsets, but I would still be wary of buying Motorola phone in future if they can’t get these fundamental details right. £50 and 2 days of coding and headscratching down the drain :-( Thanks Motorola.
