Default Re: Investing in Emerging Markets

I'm looking at throwing some money into one of these, can anyone help clear up the difference between VWO and VEIEX which is the vanguard emerging market index.

VEIEX has a .5% fee on both ends of the transaction, and a $10/yr penalty for having less than 10k.

VWO seems like it is sold flat commission, I believe ~$25, probably on each end as well

Is this accurate? How about differences in the funds themselves, and what might be best for someone like me with about 5k to put in a more specific fund than S&P...all information is appreciated, clearly I dont know a whole lot. Thanks,
