So I'm gonna have some extra cash on hand shortly and after getting a dual core proccessor, I'm thinking about buying a new cell phone. My service provider is Verizon, and i really like the L7 SL VR (but it's currently only for Cingular at the time  ) but i'm hoping it will follow suit that of the RAZR and eventually head to Verizon.
So my question is this: if you own a SL VR, how is it? I really want to know the phone before i purchase one, being it is quite pricey, IMO. I'd specifically like to know the Bluetooth aspect of the phone, that of connecting to the phone via laptop w/ Bluetooth and using the phone as a "wireless router". What is the speed of this kind of connection? Is it charged based on how many minutes you use like a regular call? Please gimme some feedback!

They are totally different technologies Verizon and Sprint are CDMA T-Mobile and cingular are GSM.
Here is some info:
code division multiple access CDMA A form of digital cellular phone service using a broadband digital technology in which the transmitter encodes the signal using a pseudo-random sequence the receiver also knows and can use to decode the received signal. Each different random sequence corresponds to a different communication channel. Also called spread spectrum. Contrast with time division multiple access (TDMA).
Global System for Mobile Communications GSM The pan-European digital cellular system standard (developed by a committee of European telecommunications administrators, operators, and manufacturers), now deployed worldwide at 900 MHz and gaining popularity at 1800 and 1900 MHz. Defines a radio interface based on 8-user time division multiple access (TDMA) with 200-kHz channel spacing and advanced features. Formerly called Groupe Speciale Mobile.

But the RAZR was GMS only too wasn't it? Untill it later came out for CDMA. Was it a whole new phone or is there to use it for both?
Having said that, is it likely the SLVR will be released for CDMA as well?
Also i appreciate you explaining the difference to me.
Mad props.^^
