I have been reading and reading on this forum, but having trouble finding exactly what I need.

In January 2005 I got a Motorola V551 when I signed up with cingular. Since then I haven't really used it because I had a T637 I liked better. Well I am using the V551 now and have realized there are some things that don't work like they should on this phone.

1.) The people I talk to say they can barely hear me and to actually I can't hear them all that well either.
2.) I can't get the damn thing to ring AND vibrate at the same time.
3.) It won't connect to my powerbook or my bluetooth headset.

I have purchased a USB cable in the hopes that I can flash or flex or do whatever it is I need to so the phone works properly. My question is where can I get firmware or flexware that will correct some or all of the issues I have. I have heard that early 2005 V551s had issues and I am hoping there is a fix.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
