Just got the one without knobs with bell yesterday so far I love it calls work great, texting is good and sending pictures via mms is easy as well. This is exactly what I needed in a phone I am very happy with my purchase.
I've had the XP6 for 4 years now. Primarily because I have fat fingers and much prefer the feedback from a tactile button. The XP5 attracts me because of the big buttons but the XP6 is so well made I fully expect another 4 years from it so I'll wait. But thanks for the videos.
Based on your initial assessment, do you find this to be an upgrade over the 5s or just something similar? I actually prefer the style of the 5s which I own but the larger keyboard and screen of the 5+ would be useful.
I do find the improvements made on the 5 plus significant. The screen isn't actually larger but i find the larger buttons and the addition of soft keys helpful. It's much easier to use. The knobs are not really significant unless you use the Push to Talk app but you can get it without them if you like. Overall I would recommend it as a good choice for people who understand it's limitations.
Will an unlocked version of the xp5plus work with Verizon? Or does the fact that it is GSM and Verizon is CDMA not allow it? I know an unlocked xp5s will work with Verizon but I would like to make sure the XP5plus will work before I buy an unlocked one Thank you
Do you know if there is a Canadian supplier that sells the headphone adapter I want to be able to connect wired headphones to listen to the FM radio at work but $49.99 USD seems a little steep for a small wire.
I just bought the xp5 plus yesterday and I can confirm that this phone does have a hotspot function, I won't use it but its there to use if you want to
AT&T says that the XP5Plus was available on July 15th but they don't clarify if that is with or without knows. I would check with a local dealer to make sure when it is coming. Not all networks are going to pick up both models.
Now after two weeks, and still not available the NO KNOBS Version in the US. And we desperately need to switch to 14 new rugged phones. Before I go with Kyocera extreme, I want to make sure If it’s available somewhere or in the near future?
The best guess is now late November. AT&T is probably going to be the first carrier to pick it up. We will have to wait and see which version they go with.
This is the phone I was looking for! I will buy it as soon the no knobs version becomes available in the USA
This is cool, I'm done with smart phones. I never did like them.
What does the XP5 Plus cost? And do they take trade ins, and where can a person buy one at?

How long will it be before the USA can get the phone with the knobs
It should arrive on AT&T shortly but you will need to specify the Knob model as they will probably promote the other one.

Would an unlocked version of this phone work with Xfinity mobile?
Yes it will

I want to buy 12 for our company, but without knobs. When will it be available in America ?
