    I use the Sony Ericsson T616 and AT&T Wireless. I recently had the firmware upgraded to improve the Bluetooth quality and the signal strength.

    Any of these companies cover as much as Verizon Wireless yet? I really wish they would adopt bluetooth... it would up their business.

    Verizon Wireless Blue tooth phone 1-4 months away

    Verizon Wireless should release the Motorola V710 some time in the next few months. From what I have read on www.phonescoop.com no one knows exactly when. Hope this helps, I am waiting for a BT phone for Verizon Wireless also. I just got my white pkg9 so Iwish they would hurry up.

    I got a Sony Ericsson T608 and followed the directions for conversion to Verizon. It worked perfectly. Some folks say that my voice is a little fuzzy to them, but the phone connects and operates perfectly!

    Siemens S56 with service from Cingular. Note that after Cingular takes over AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile will have Cingular's GSM current network in California, and Cingular will have AT&T's. This may occur over the next 2 years.

    Currently T-Mobile is operating over Cingular's California network (in New York, the situation is exactly reversed).

    How much does a Sony Ericsson T608 run for? and how do you convert it to verizon? does the phone keep a good signal? Some phones are weak when it comes to keeping a good signal.

    if this phone doesn't cost too much.. i may trade in.

    I've got the Motorola V710... U.S. Cellular is the provider... I was unable to pair it with my Mac G5, however, I purchased the USB cable that hooks to the phone and transfered my entire address book (including email addresses) onto the phone within about 3 minutes (422 contacts). I can't figure out how to get the contacts from my phone into the Prius' phone book however. Anyone know how to do this?
