SMT 5800 gets stealth Windows Mobile 6.1 update

February 5, 2010 | By Surur

The Verizon SMT5800 has been released so long ago I had trouble recognizing the code name. However, thinking back now, it was a pretty innovative device with its combination on front-facing keypad and slide-out keyboard.

For owners who are still tied to the device with a 2 year contract, you will appreciate the recent arrival of a Windows Mobile 6.1 update to the device.

The update brings some new features also, including GPS and EVDO Rev A support. The handset now also supports Verizon Navigator.

This is a clear example of better late than never, so hop on over to Phonenews for the download.

They must have forgotten about it and then someone someone discovered the ROM update sitting on some hard drive somewhere.

I had this phone until Christmas when I replaced it with an Ozone. The 6.1 update for the phone has been out for a long time. I don't know why this is news.
