How to Bond a WEP200 Bluetooth Headset to a Cellphone.

I asked Motorola. I asked Samsung. I asked a Motorola forum. I got nothing. My Motorola Razr V3(the original Razr) broke last week after many happy years of use. I did something previously that I've never done before - purchased the optional insurance. Yeah! I contacted the insurance company and filed a claim for a broken Razr V3. Of course the V3 has been discontinued for quite some time now and they said they'd ship me a compatible Razr replacement. I got the replacement within 24 hours of the claim being filed and it was a model V3t. I didn't know there was a V3t. Okay, I made my mods that I wanted to do and went to link up my Samsung WEP200 ear piece and nothing happened. I contacted the above providers and got the above responses when asked to mate the devices. Web searches turned up nothing much for the V3t and the WEP200, except what the quick guides and manuals already said. I did an online chat with a T-Mobile tech rep and was up and running in less than 5 minutes time. The answer?

Hold down the main button on the WEP200 until the blue light stays on constantly. If the cell is off, turn it on and enter the bluetooth section and discover(if you even need to go that far)the device. All done! I couldn't find this in the docs but it must be there somewhere because I had to have done it with the V3 when I got the WEP200 in the first place. BTW, I love the Razr V3t. It's a cool phone.

Also, when you get the microSD card for storing photos(required for photo storage)you have a max limitation of 2 Gig's. You do not need the card to store video, however! That's messed up. You can store 512 MB of video but need a card to store a tiny picture. Seems to me it should be the other way around. Pics below!
