Default Blue Tooth?

-Hey, I have a 2005 LG VX8000, love it because of its size and style, however it does not have blue tooth. Can my local Verizon update it to have blue tooth, if so, is it expensive? Or do I need to just get a new phone that has blue tooth?

If the phone did not come with Bluetooth from the factory it cannot be "updated". You can add a BT dongle to some phones that adds BT functions to a phone, but this was mainly available for older Motorola phones, and you ended up with this big thing plugged into the bottom of the phone's data port. The best thing is to just get a new phone with Bluetooth.

-Yeah I figured, I love the VX8000 because its the biggest modern flip phone LG Verizon has released (that I know of), I hate the smaller cell phones. However, I do think I'll buy a new phone soon, it is annoying that it doesn't have blue tooth and plus I've had it for a while lol. I was thinking about the LG VX9400, its smaller but has a huge antenna and large flip screen so I can adjust Thanks for the reply!
