Tip: Key to Distinguishing Incoming, Outgoing, & Missed Calls in Verizon’s Latest Windows Mobiles

By Amy Mayer
March 13, 2008

At first we thought the call history on Verizon's SMT5800 and XV6800 Windows Mobile smartphones wasn't listing all of our calls, both incoming and outgoing. And then - so obvious we missed it - we realized the one call history incorporates both and distinguishes them, as well as missed calls, with different symbols.

Calls you've made from the device sport a green, right-pointing triangle next to them, while the incoming calls get tagged with a left-pointing orange triangle. If a call wasn't answered, it's flagged with a red exclamation point.

In our defense, after primarily making calls for several days, it was easy to gloss over the green triangles sitting next to the phone icon. But once we noticed the distinction, we felt more confident that we'd never lose another phone number.

More on These Smartphones
The SMT5800, based on original design manufacturer HTC's Libra design, is a candy bar-shaped smartphone with numeric keypad on the front and a QWERTY thumb-keyboard that slides out the side. Because the SMT5800 is a Windows Mobile 6 Standard device, it - among other things - doesn't sport a touch screen.

This smartphone goes by a variety of names, depending on who's offering it. There's the HTC 5800 and plain old 5800, for example See here for our review of the Fusion HTC 5800 version of this smartphone, offered by Qwest in Canada.

As for the XV6800, it too is a slider with a keyboard. However, unlike the SMT5800, the XV6800 runs on the more capable Professional flavor of Windows Mobile 6, which gives it a touch screen and other more advanced features.

This smartphone is sold in the U.S by Sprint as well, but under the name Mogul - see our review - and is also known as the HTC Titan and PPC-6800 or, in Canada, as the HTC P4000 from Telus - see our review.
