Which US phone companies offer bluetooth phones

Its really messed up how the carriers pick whichever phones they feel like. I mean only if you sign up with GSM companies, like Tmobile, can you really get the latest stuff in phones.

Which other companies offer Bluetooth phones. My friend has verizon, and we were trying to look for bluetooth phone for him.

Pretty much all of them, except for possibly Nextel, offer at least one Bluetooth-enabled phone. Verizon is in a lot of hot water about its one Bluetooth phone - the Motorola V710 - because of how they crippled the firmware to limit its Bluetooth functionality.

yea, I heard about that V710 story, I guess its pretty much useless to even attempt to get that phone. I use the Nokia 6600 on T-mobile, with all the features its gat with bluetooth, I wouldn't even imagine why someone would go backwards in time to hussle with that V710 and the whole verizon mess, I guess I'll just recommend my friend to jump on one of the good carriers, like cingular/att and get a really cool phone, that meets up with latest features of bluetooth.
