We’ve been patiently waiting for a national US carrier to launch a version of HTC’s Libra for nearly a year, and by golly, it looks like it might finally happen (and not in the hideous green Verizon was showing back in the day, either). The UTStarcom-sourced XV5800 lies somewhere between the Vox and the S730; although it shares 3G functionality with the S730, it’s from the same vintage as the Vox (its GSM cousin) and has launched on a number of carriers. No word on a price or release date just yet, but it’d be a nice Festivus gift if we got ‘er before the end of the year, yeah?

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]
