As everybody here is a techy, you might be disappointed.
I asked my corporate Verizon liason about this several months ago and she said that Verizon might open the Bluetooth functionality. I've been waiting ever since.
For those of you who don't want to give money to a corporate POS like Verizon, Motorola makes several similar handsets for the global GSM community. The
Motorola V600 is a similar beast for GSM 850/900/1800/1900 bands, and includes Bluetooth, WAP, GPRS, and USB/Serial connectivity. It also includes a digital camera and speakerphone.
