Don't count on getting quality ringtones online because the quality's terrible, but otherwise this phone is sick. To the first comment, I had a LG V before this, and all my contacts were transferred no problem. Your cell phone guy's just a moron. And yeah the keyboard isnt too great but i'd rather have it then an enV that everyone on the world has.

It slides open very easy and the keyboard is not very user friendly. I ended up going back to the enV after a couple days. I purchased the SMT5800 but I am very disappointed in it.

All he said was "soon". He said he'd played with the phone and really liked it and looked forward to seeing what improvements they made on it. He didn't give any other details, not even confirming or denying the Windows Standard system. Personally I'm hoping for the touchscreen upgrade. Just talked to a VZ Corporate rep.

Note how the corners of the screenshot are covered by the phone housing and the softkeys at the bottom of the screen are completely missing because the screenshot isn't properly scaled. It looks like artwork by someone whose job was to get the image done quickly and who didn't understand or care about the technical details of different flavors of Windows Mobile. For the same reason, it's common to see printed store ads with screenshots of Mac OS on a computer that is obviously a PC.

The device doesn't look anything like the Libra that Telus has, and the photos show it running WM5 PPC phone edition instead of WM6 smartphone ed. The images also look more like renderings.

I thought the SMT5800 is the xv5800 (aka HTC Libra or s720) that could be released as early as mid August, considering Verizon has supposedly been testing this phone for weeks, if not months. I've seen dates for Aug 20, along with the q9m. The specs listed here are exactly those of the Libra/xv5800, but the pictures are completely wrong. The vx5800 is - like the specs here say - a Windows Mobile Standard phone. I'm not sure what this phone is, but it's not the vx5800/smt5800, and it sure isnt running WM Standard. Pictures of the alleged xv5800 are all over other forums. Am I completely wrong, or is BGR??? I’m super confused…
