Verizon customers, give yourselves a little pat on the back; for the moment, anyway, it's you that are the envy of the world's HTC fans. As you may recall, the
Libra is essentially a
Vox with the GSM radio switched out for a CDMA one -- and with it, of course, comes 3G data, a feature sorely missed in the Vox. Even better, the Libra will allegedly be software upgradeable to EV-DO Rev. A for an added boost. The slide-out QWERTY form factor is still a bit fresh and unusual for a Windows Mobile Smartphone-class device, so the jury's still out on just how hot this is going to be in Verizon's
bumper crop of
smart devices for 2007 -- but any way you look at it, variety is always a good thing.

Is HTC or UTStarcom bringing this to the US/Verizon? From what I know, this phone was being brought to Verizon by UTStarcom under the model number SMT5800. But in the FCC report the phone was submited by HTC under the model number LIBR100. Could this actually be the CDMA Vox for Sprint?

Realistically when might we see a new HTC phone from Verizon hit the market?
