    Hi
    Can someone recommend a good, simple, Bluetooth enabled phone for a beginner? I don't even have a cellular phone yet, but now that I have Hi-Tech Prius (2005 BC), I want to give it a go. The thread about phones and address book trasfers, etc. is over my head! Oh--I'll probably use Verizon, if that makes a difference.
    Thanks!

    Verizon has a range of Bluetooth phones. check out:

    I just upgraded to a Motorola e815, but there are others.

    As noted by others, Verizon's implementation of Bluetooth is crippled as far as transferring phonebook data. There are workarounds noted here at Priuschat (search under 'phonebook transfer')

    This is my 5th Motorola cellphone in 20 years, no problems...
