Mac compatible in what sense? To transfer music,files, etc. or to tether as a modem?
If you're looking to use Bluetooth with a Verizon phone, it's not going to happen. Verizon locks the bluetooth feature on the phone so that you can't transfer files (but I believe headsets and similar accessories are still compatible).
I'm pretty sure there was a lawsuit over this and they've since unlocked the Bluetooth.
edit: Nope. Verizon remains a stubborn bastard. Sorry.
I have a vx9800(also known as the v phone) from verizon and i have been able to transfer ringtones and pictures to it using bluetooth and bitpim.hmmmm i cant seem to transfer any files between my MBP and Voyager
first you need to pair your phone with you mac. then open bitpim and under settings select your phone. then you should be able to browse and connect to your phone. it should be under something like BTDIAG-1. try connecting to that port. it may not say its connected at the bottom of the screen when it really is, so just try send a picture or something and see if it works.
hope that isnt too confusing and helps a bit.
Nokia's for the most part have many but not all functions un-Verizoned that's probably a big reason they don't like selling them. I know for a fact my 6256i is compatible.

Thats funny - It worked just fine with my verizon V3M - Turned on the Bluetooth and the MBP connected and transferred immediately....
Verizon was sued for advertising in a manner that misled customers about the fact many bluetooth services are disabled. Verizon still disables the services, but includes better fine print these days.
They have the Blackberry Curve. My wife has a Blackberry Pearl and it syncs great using Missing Sync.
