Ah -- HTC Libra Windows SmartPhone With Keypad & Keyboard!
I've had my Verizon XV6700 phone for half a year now, and I'm still generally happy with the experience. Using it as a broadband modem has been great, and I love having it as a mini-broadband browser with a keyboard, as well. Still, the hardest adjustment has been not having a dedicated keypad. Firing up an on-screen keypad just isn't the same as pushing number buttons. The HTC Libra might fix that.
HTC Libra To Support EVDO Rev. A over at Phone Scoop may offer my solution (and Techmeme links to some related articles). It looks like basically the same phone, with both a keypad and a slideout keyboard Can't wait! Let's just hope they speed up Windows Mobile, somehow. Over in the UK, I'm still with my SPV C500, but Orange is supposed to be rolling out the SPC C700 (the HTC Breeze)-- same phone but with 3G broadband. I use my phone so rarely in the UK that not having a keyboard is less crucial -- but faster web access would be great. Postscript: Technically, a reader tells me the phone is a Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC Phone Edition, rather than a SmartPhone.

I've got the opposite issue at the moment. I moved over the the Imate Jasjar (the O2 Exec in UK) and now want something a bit less clunky. Was looking at the new SPV (http://gadgetcity.blogspot.com/2006/08/orange-spv-m3100-pay-monthly-mobile.html) but it doesn't have any more memory.
I'll hold fire until next year.
