Bluetooth Cellular Recommendations
It may be time for me to upgrade my cell service and phone to include Bluetooth. I've read several posts here about Bluetooth, but I was wondering what your current thoughts are on using Bluetooth functionality in the GS. I currently have Verizon and I don't care about transferring my address book. Do you like it? Does it it work well? I'm a light user of cell phones.
Any thoughts on service providers for the Charlotte, NC area? Lastly, any recommendations for a basic phone with Bluetooth that you know works good with the GS?
Thanks.

I went with what Lexus recommended (Cingular) and it works fine but I have the Razr and it sucks (reception)!

I got my Samsung Blade to pair. It works pretty well. I notice sometimes when I dial out while driving via through the phone, for some reason, it wont go through the Bluetooth even though it shows on my phone that it is. Then other times, it works like a charm. 
Well I guess these are the things Im going to run into since I have a Samsung.

all these problems you people are experiencing are problems with the phone's firmware.
if you're using verizon phones you're screwed because verizon has very tight control on the bluetooth options of their phones. verizon is just bastardly like that and they limit EVERYTHING on their phones.

Choppy Reception
Okay, so I got my Blackberry 7520 all sync'd up, and it works, but even when I have full reception (3-4 bars), my contact on the other end of the line is complaining about my voice being all chopped up. Meanwhile, I can hear everything he is saying crystal clear.
Any ideas?
