Now, what does everyone bet, will this be fully enabled bluetooth since it is a PDA or will verizon screw this one up like my 710?

Did VZN cripple your bluetooth on the 710? I heard that carriers are crippling the bluetooth so you can't use it as a modem. I am a sprint user and I am sure.. sprint will cripple it.
