FCC approves Verizon’s HTC Libra
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.

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??!!?! 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

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.

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

i dont really who gets rev a when....i just want some of these new phones to be released already.

12. jason (unregistered) posted on 03 May 2007, 13:21

i meant to say that i dont really "care"......i will take some english classes and come back later

I hear you man. I honestly don't give a toot when rev a b c or d comes out. I do wish some new phones would come out soon too. I'm sick of the trash that's out right now. I want cool stuff, not basic BS. Who cares if you had a typo man. I do them all the time. Now give me a Libra please

I think this is going to be a great hit for Verizon. Verizon is already closing the gap on ATT/Cingular quickly on the subscriber end and is still operating the largest digital network. And to the guy who is bummed about SPRINT possibly not getting it? Hello, they have better things to do instead of loosing another 220k subscribers two quarters in a row. And get your facts straight, Last December Verizon is now the REV. A Leader covering more cities. Notice Sprint doesn't say the largest broadband network anymore? Advertising got pulled.

So is the S720 coming to sprint and if so when?

16. Jimmy (unregistered) posted on 09 May 2007, 21:32

Sprint is ahead of Verizon on the Rev A network? When did that happen? It must be a true miracle because here in Hawaii, Sprint still is trying to setup their Rev A network and Verizon has been long established for quite a while now. Sorry but Sprint is definately the worst service out of all the major carriers out there. Unfortunately I experienced it first hand and cancelled my service with Sprint because it was so terrible. When did Sprint spend $30 + Billion dollars on their network? Yes that is billion with a "B" and not million.

you're in Hawaii man...you don't count

18. sp_5015 (unregistered) posted on 11 May 2007, 12:26

I don't care who has what. Everyone should keep their cute little comments to themselves. Give me a Libra please.. thankyou

19. jason (unregistered) posted on 11 May 2007, 23:51

to sp_5015......i have verizon, but if sprint works for you then more power to you. I just have a bad feeling that this phone isnt coming out until fall....because of all the other windows 6 devices that are being delayed until then. all of us cdma people should ban together, not fight.......give me the libra

Our Verizon contract is up in June. Love the network, hate the phones. All the good ones go for GMS. If we're really hungry for an iPhone, will this one do enough to keep us with Verizon???
