Yes. Verizon locks down their phones and it generally requires hacking to
get OBEX working with them. However, I can use Bluetooth OBEX on my
Motorola E815 on Alltel. All I have to do is upload a MP3 to it in the
"audio" directory and it shows up on the phone's ring tone list.

I tried BitPim for OS X against it earlier today and didn't have much luck.
About all it would do was show me the phone's ESN, phone number, model, and
version. I couldn't get any syncing working, though OS X's iSync works
against it beautifully. I imagine the RAZR would be pretty similar, since
it is pretty much almost the exact same thing in a smaller form factor.
