My friends said me that RF/WiFi (and I assume - BT) is developed under close supervision of Verizon and they close ANYTHING (he worked for that project). I did a brief search and found nothing for their handsets in open source. I suspect it could be painful to change kernel in their Android's.

Personally, I leaved Verizon 2-3years ago and one of reason - they don't allow me keep my good old Qualcomm handset which had a very good receiption. The reason - absense of GPS in it.
