With a sample of approximately 89 million BB pairs collected with the BABAR detector, we perform a search for B meson decays into pairs of charmless vector mesons ({phi}, {rho}, and K*). We measure the branching fractions, determine the degree of longitudinal polarization, and search for CP violation asymmetries in the processes B{sup +} {yields} {phi}K*{sup +}, B{sup 0} {yields} {phi}K*{sup 0}, B{sup +} {yields} {rho}{sup 0}K*{sup +}, and B{sup +} {yields} {rho}{sup 0}{rho}{sup +}. We also set an upper limit on the branching fraction for the decay B{sup 0} {yields} {rho}{sup 0}{rho}{sup 0}.
