Any Bluetooth headset will work. As for data transfer, well... good luck. If it's Verizon Moto phone the BT is crippled and can only be used for headsets and as a bluetooth modem. Sync isn't possible without some googling for a little something called "ph*ne t**ls". I seemed to have left something obvious out of that but you get the point. Just google "Bluetooth V710" and you'll find lots of stuff to read. I have the V710 but haven't picked up any other BT toys to play with it yet.
I'm fairly certain sync with the USB cable is still possible though. You just need to buy their kit and software. Radio Shack usually carries those. You can't normally upload or download your photos though. The carrier wants you to pay a premium to go through them. Again, that's where the *ahem* Tools comes in. Let us know what you accomplish.
