Other key features include a 2.0 megapixel camera, EV–DO, 1X RTT Capable , WM6 standard edition, up to 8GB of additional storage capacity (microSD) and a 2.4 “QVGA display.

New Verizon Wireless SMT5800 is a solid smartphone with good voice quality, EVDO and design that’s both cool and useful. Slim phone fans might be better suited to the Motorola Q9m, but those who prefer something less wide than the broad Q9m should consider the SMT5800. The SMT has a good keyboard, fast performance by WinMo standards and other than the non-locking slider, feels well-designed and built. It lacks popular extras like a GPS and WiFi, but EVDO is a good substitute for WiFi. We wish it had a bit more memory but overall had no problems with stability due to low memory as long as we rebooted the phone at least once a week.
