Has to be available in the US? Crap, that rules out the only two good convergence devices-the O2 XDA Flame and the Sharp EM-ONE(latter's data-only over HSDPA, though-the Flame does voice as well as data over HSDPA).
Okay, those don't have GPS, but they do have PXA270s and nVIDIA GoForce 5500s, as well as 128 MB of RAM and 512 MB NVRAM(EM-ONE)or even 2 GB(XDA Flame)! Oh, and VGA(Flame)or even WVGA(EM-ONE)! Both have WM5, though why not WM6 at this stage in the game is beyond me.
There was the Pocket LOOX N560 with GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, VGA, WM5, the works...except a phone. No CF slot this time, unlike the 720, so you can't just slam a GSM card in there either...oh, wait, you said Verizon. I don't think there are many CDMA2000 CF cards out there, and the one I'm familiar with is the Sprint CF2031 or whatever it was called that doesn't work for voice on anything later than Pocket PC 2002...
There's the HTC Universal, but that device has neither GPS nor any sort of GPU. At least there's a VGA screen and a PXA270, though.
Simply put, you're going to lose out on something, most likely the VGA screen and the GPU of the X50v...unless you really, really want to import that dream device.
Oh, wait a second-you're on Verizon, and I doubt you're going to find your dream phone working on Verizon, or Sprint, or any other CDMA2000 carrier, seeing as all the major phones are GSM. (And then you'd also have to worry about the possibility of a bad ESN...) That phone you outlined above is a GSM-only phone, and won't work on Verizon or other CDMA2000 carrier. That just makes it even harder...though a few GSM/CDMA2000 combo phones exist, like the BlackBerry 8830. (That's definitely not what you're looking for, though.)
