FCC approves Verizon’s HTC Libra

Published on: 21 April, 2007 by Nanko Rusev

HTC Libra S720 is the CDMA version of the Vox S710, which means it is Windows Mobile Smartphone with side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. Unlike the S710, the S720 has spring assisted mechanism for the slider. Other advantage of the Libra over the Vox is that it replaces the 2G EDGE data with 3G EV-DO which is even upgradable to the faster Rev. A.

As FCC just approved the Libra S720, it can soon become available with Verizon Wireless. The latter is rumored to be the first US carrier to offer it, under the name XV5800 (SMT5800). Hands-on preview of the HTC S720 Libra.

HTC S720

Does anyone knows here, when this phone ( htc s720) will be available in the Verizon stores?

I cant wait for this phone. This phone look awesome and I love the keys on the front and size appears to be small than the older version.

WHAT ABOUT SPRINT?

WHAT ABOUT SPRINT??!!?! I've been waiting for this for a while on Sprint. It's Rev A upgradable and since Verizon is behind Sprint on rolling out Rev A maybe Sprint will get it also

This or Pearl

I now have to decide between this and a blackberry pearl for verizon. Of course this is the only one of the two that has hard evidence of being released.

sp_5015!!!!

IF you have actually looked at rev a for sprint and compared it to verizon's rev a (witch HAS been released!!!) its a joke! verizon's rev 0 is actually the SAME speed as sprints supposed rev a. check your facts.

Lady what are you talking about. (You gotta love people that just like to start trouble) No where did I say that Verizon hasn't released Rev. A...and I didn't say that Sprint was faster. So what are you talking about?? All I said is that they are releasing it in more places. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/020107-verizon-wireless-revision-a.html Check your facts lady...get a clue
