Studies of $B^\pm\to\phi K^{*\pm}$ decays from Belle.

Abstract
We present the status of a study of branching fractions, longitudinal polarization, and CP violation asymmetries in $B^\pm\to\phi K^{*\pm}$ decays with a sample of $772\times 10^6$ BBbar pairs collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Some measurements of these quantities have been made for charged and neutral B meson decays by the CLEO, BaBar, Belle, and LHCb experiments; the value of $f_L$, for instance, appears to be at variance with expectations. In this presentation we present results from simulations and an estimate of when we can present results using Belle data.
