No. Verizon uses the CDMA protocol, while the T68i uses GSM, the same protocol they use in most of the rest of the world. In the US, you could only use a T68i on T-Mobile, Cingular or AT&T GSM service.

Someone is on the happy juice tonight.
T68 == GSM != CDMA.
Verizon == CDMA != GSM.

Verizon is yet to release a Bluetooth enabled cellphone.
Sprint is yet to release a Bluetooth enabled phone (though there is a Samsung model coming).
AT&T, Cingular, and T-Mobile (OK, Fido as well) all have Bluetooth enabled phones (T68, P800, and a Nokia model whose number escapes me).

Good luck Davy ... its a fine balancing act between service plan and functionality.

To see what capability a phone has and who it is available through, take a look at www.phonescoop.com.

Going back to MY happy juice now :)
