I recently got my hands on the Verizon Wireless SMT5800 — a practical smart phone from HTC.  I’ll do a full review of the phone later on.  But, I just wanted to pass along a tip that could save any potential buyers some cash. 

Looking at the “modified” USB port on the 5800, I thought I would try my old chargers from my Motorola Razor V3c to see if they would be compatible.  Both the car and wall chargers worked perfectly, even though the chargers use a standard USB mini connector and the phone’s USB mini port looks a bit different. 

Try your old chargers at your own risk — it could save you from buying a car and/or wall charger.
