This phone operates on both CDMA and GSM so if you're a Verizon customer and travel internationally frequently, this should be the perfect phone.
Also, what is a good GSM carrier in the USA? When I mean good, I mean first reception quality, and second coverage. And also would this phone be readily operable in Europe? I guess the USA carrier would have to be in partnership with the European GSM carrier or is this not necessarily true? I live on Long Island, NY if that is of any consequence. That RAZR V3 looks awesome, I might have to give up Verizon for it.

Does bluetooth work for data transfer to a computer? It has been rumored that they disabled this bluetooth capability because Verizon was going to somehow charge it against your account when doing file transfers.

bluetooth is actually limited on the phone.. there is no profile for OBEX file transfer.. headset and dial up modem work perfectly though.. and the phone (imo) is much better than the v600.. i just ported from ATTWS, where service sucked outside of manhattan..
very fast menus, great voice dial, great speakerphone, reception, etc.. i got the phone for $250 after a mail in rebate for a 2 yr contract..

Its pretty cool to cut up my favorite parts in songs, and email them to myself and use em for ringtones. No need to pay for ringtones anymore!
