As far as I know the only Verizon phone that would support it is the Motorola
V710.

You do know they actually make two models of the BT-250 don't you? The
headset (earpiece) itself is wireless and uses bluetooth to either
communicate with the phone, or for non BT phones, the charger/holder (in non
bt models, it plugs into the phone).
Result, the same headset/earpice works with BOTH, although both versions
support voice dialing, only using the earpice with a bluetooth phone,
supports voice hanging up.

I personally prefer the model for non BT phones, it not only works with cell
phones, but also other devices with a 2.5 MM headset jack (cordless phones,
sound cards for VOIP, etc). Just to be clear, I do have to physically push
the end button with non BT devices, but the benefits of being able to use it
on a wide variety of devices, is a plus for me (PS.. the charger/carrier
base itself is the same for both models, just for non BT it has a wire
coming out of it you stick in the headset jack)

At the Verizon store near my home (San Jose, CA) you have 8-10 sales reps
running all over the place, and every dang one of em have one of those big
bluetooth earpieces on their head. It looks like a sci-fi movie, where
someone in 'the control room' could press a button and command all of these
drones to kill all of the customers in an instant... or at least walk down
to KFC and grab a bucket.

How funny, I envisioned the same thing when I saw those headsets.
(Maybe it shows how much of a geek I am)

Sheesh, you folks are so paranoid. Really, you are quite safe in
there.

Now, if those same sales drones start wearing some form of wierd
telescoping monocle fitted with a laser beam, my advise would be to
leave...quickly!
