verizon wireless launches V CAST

Verizon wireless today launched their V CAST service, which includes 3 hot new phones and super fast 3G speeds.

the sad thing is, none of them seem to support being a bluetooth modem at 3G speeds. this is unfortunate. Lately i've been using my Moto V710 as a bluetooth modem, and finding the speeds to generally exceed EDGE on Cingular, even using a Class 10 (4 channels down) nokia 6630.

Their Audiovox VX6600 Windows Mobile phone does support being a BT modem - so that would be interesting.

So far the reviews of the V CAST service haven't been stellar - so i can't wait to test it myself. I'll be getting a couple of these phones over the next few days so i will definitely report back.
