V710 Work in Europe?

Will the Motorola V710 work in Europe?

I currently have a Nokia 3589i for my Verizon Wireless service which I am
told will not work in Europe. I'm thinking of the Moto V710 (because it
has Bluetooth capabilities). Does it operate on whatever bands are
necessary for it wo work in Europe (France & Germany specifically)?

NO. Verizon phones use CDMA technology which isn't used in Europe. Europe
uses GSM technology.
You could use a phone such as the Motorola a840 which looks like the v710
but includes both a CDMA and GSM radio.

Unfortunately, to make room for the gsm radio, the bluetooth module was
omitted.

You could also use the Samsung SCH-A790 on both Verizon's CDMA network and
europe's GSM networks.
