Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining the performance and functionality of Windows Mobile 6 with the convenience of a slideâ€"out QWERTY keyboard, the Verizon SMT5800 provides instant access to Internet, calendar, contacts, tasks, e-mail, music and more. Part compact phone, part messaging device, it features a standard mobile phone keypad and navigation as well as slide-out QWERTY keyboard. And the new Windows Mobile 6 operating system enables you to view and edit Word and Excel documents as well as provides instant message capabilities via Windows Live Messenger. (See more details about Windows Mobile 6 below.)

It operates on Verizon's North American CDMA voice network, as well as on Verizon's speedy EV-DO data network, which enables you to quickly access audio, video and data applications as well as connect directly to your office's network. Other features include built-in Bluetooth connectivity (for headsets and stereo headphones), 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, and MicroSD memory card expansion.

The slide-out keyboard makes it easy to keep up with your email while on-the-go.

Verizon Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.)

With BroadbandAccess Connect (subscription required), you can use your smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with BroadbandAccess Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other devices.

Verizon's Wireless Sync always-on email service (subscription required), you can stay connected and get the job done while away from the office--without a delay and in a secure environment. Email is delivered to your device in real time across the National Enhanced Services Rate & Coverage Area, and you get the ability to forward large attachments via email as well as access both your personal and corporate emails on one device. Wireless Sync offers strong security with AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology so that unauthorized parties cannot access or alter application data transmitted over wireless networks.

Surprisingly svelte and easily pocketable, the Verizon SMT5800 weighs 4.2 ounces and measures just 0.7 inches thin.

Phone Features
The sliding keyboard provides a familiar interface and allows for quick and efficient input of information, and the slide-to-hide form factor eliminates bulkiness for a sleek and stylish design. It measures just 0.7 inches thin and weighs a svelte 4.2 ounces. The 2.4-inch color LCD automatically orients itself depending on how you hold the phone (i.e., from portrait to landscape and back again). It displays 65,000 colors and has a 320 x 240-pixel resolution.

This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and audio/video remote control. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

The 2-megapixel autofocus camera (with up to 8x digital zoom) on the back of the Mogul captures images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels (good enough for prints up to 8 x 10 inches). You can make such camera adjustments as white balance and exposure metering, choose from resolution modes (such as sports for fast-moving action) as well as use of the integrated flash, and set a self-timer of either 2 or 10 seconds. Additionally, the SMT5800 can capture video with or without audio (in MPEG-4, 3GPP2, or H.263 format, the latter being best for sending via MMS). You can also play back audio and video files downloaded from the Internet or sent to you via email using the integrated Windows Media Player.

Other features include:

• Included memory: 128 MB ROM; 64 MB RAM
• Memory expansion via MicroSD cards (up to 8 GB)
• Updated ActiveSync technology (version 4.5) offers one of the best PC to mobile device sync experiences, making it easier to configure with faster data transfer and sync accuracy.
• Hands-free operation of your phone is made easy with the built-in speakerphone, allowing you to take a conference call virtually anywhere
• Voice command capable
• Security locking features
• TTY enabled for the hearing impaired; M3 hearing aid compatibility

• With Excel Mobile, you’re not just confined to editing charts: with the new Chart Wizard you can create charts quickly and easily.
• PowerPoint Mobile allows you to view the full presentation, rehearse timings, check the order and any live links you may have in your presentation. You can then email comments back to the team or communicate via MSN Messenger for an immediate response.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone, April 20, 2008

By	Wayne-in-Seattle (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

My wife and I were in the market for new phones and I purchased a Treo 755p and my wife got the SMT5800. I owned a treo 650 a few years ago before getting a Motorola E815 which I used for almost two years. After a week with the Treo 755p, and comparing it to the SMT5800 my wife had, I went back to the Verizon store and traded the Palm for a SMT5800.

The size of the SMT5800 is just about right, while the Treo was just too bulky. The SMT5800 will sync with my window media center PC and allow me to view recorded TV shows and listen to MP3s. I purchased the HTC Stereo Headset HS S200 the have the same HTC-USB plug (slightly different from a standard USB-mini jack) and they work fine, not great, but fine.

Overall, I think this phone will truly be the all-in-one device that I have been trying to find for the last few years.

Things that could be improved:
Add GPS support (Google maps works, but the addition of a GPS would be great)
Universal jack, not the special HTC one.
Add support for Adobe Flash player
Better voice dialing (the Treo and Motorola did this much better)

1.0 out of 5 stars Smartphone too smart for me!, April 27, 2009

By	R. Resnikoff "non-fic reader" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I guess I really am a Luddite. I thought with would be a handy phone as I could make notes to myself while on the road as well as have a camera phone. The slide out keyboard is what really sold me. And it seemed like a pretty good price.

Well, turns out everything was going to cost extra. Internet service, web site subscriptions, all extra. I couldn't even send MYSELF a message! And the layers of menu!! Just to make a call! really terrible.

I was taking pictures of the inside of my purse if I left it unlocked. If I didn't leave it unlocked, it would lock itself while I was on the phone! you've got the choice of locking in 10 secs, 15 secs, or never. Whoopie!

I sent it back and did the happy dance!! I walked into the verizon store and bought a flip phone so it wouldn't take pictures without me wanting it to, it rings, I answer it. I take pictures instead of writing down information from signs or other outdoor ads. It's all good. It's all over.
