I recently purchased the Nokia 770 and had been using it at home. Since it support 802.11G, it was been quite handy on my wireless network. Thats all well and good, but I want to use this thing everywhere, so I did some research and checked out Verizon. Turns out we have pretty good BroadbandAccess coverage, which is one of their high-speed networks. A number of their phones support Bluetooth, as does the 770. one phone that looked interesting was the enV, so I tried it out and I was impressed. Not by the phone really, as I will probably exchange it since I don't text and have no need for the keyboard due to the 770.
The 770 and enV talked Bluetooth without any trouble and in no time I was browsing the internet on my 770. The speed was good as I was playing streaming media with no issues. The nice thing about the Bluetooth connection is I just have to have the phone near me and it works. One drawback is I cannot receive calls at the same time, but they can leave a voicemail.
A word of warning, be careful about which plan you get as you go through a lot of data quickly. I was up to 20meg transfered within a day or 2. They have an Unlimited Data plan that allows tethering (i.e. laptop or the 770) but it is upward of $50+ a month. Anything less and you may get a surprise bill. Overall I am very pleased with how it is working.
