I would be careful with Verizon. They cripple their Bluetooth phones so that
only headsets work. You will have to sync via USB cable.  They say this is
for security issues. A friend just picked up one of these phones and then
tried to sync it and no luck. After a phone call to Verizon it was confirmed
that they cripple the phones. No other US provider does that.

Cingular is the way to go between the two.  Sync via Bluetooth is great.
