If you're interested in this phone you've no doubt read much of the hype, and the nonsense associated with this phone. People seem to think that this phone is an Iphone competitor, and before telling you about this phone I would like to clear up some misconceptions:

1. This phone is not an Iphone, it's not even close to an Iphone. This phone has more in common with the T-Mobile Sidekick than the Iphone.

2. This phone is NOT, I repeat, NOT a smartphone. This phone is a messaging/multimedia phone, much like the T-Mobile Sidekick.

I've used both the Iphone and the LG Voyager, and I can tell you right now that from a technical standpoint, the LG Voyager is not as powerful or polished... however where the Iphone excels at being an MP3 player, the LG Voyager is better at being a phone. That goes without saying since LG has had way more experience in making phones than Apple does.

With that said, I prefer the LG Voyager... why? It offers one of the BEST keyboards that I have ever used on a device. The keyboard is better than the EnV, better than the T-Mobile Sidekick, and better than most HTC smartphone keyboards that I've used. With this phone, you can compose messages extremely quickly, and send them just as fast.

If you want a streamlined device that:

1. Has a touchscreen interface
2. sends text messages and picture messages quickly
3. Takes pictures and records movies
4. browses the web in full HTML
5. gives you turn-by-turn GPS directions
6. Plays your music collection
7. Plays games & even multiplayer via Get-it-Now
8. Includes Mobile E-mail application and Instant messaging (AIM, MSN, Yahoo)

then the Voyager will not disappoint you. If you want a phone that does more, or does ALL these things better... you need an expensive smartphone. Simply put the LG Voyager is a feature packed messaging handset that is for people that was an all-in-one device but don't want to unload big bucks on an expensive blackberry or pay lots every month for expensive data packages.

I must agree...

I have to agree with you, no one should ever compare the iPhone with the Voyager...but in the opposite way. I believe the iPhone is better than the Voyager (and I own the Voyager). The iPhone's only flaw is that it was signed off to AT&T, America's worst network. Other than that, they are also completely different phones. The iPhone has Wi-Fi and the Voyager doesn't. The Voyager has a video recorder, the iPhone doesn't. The iPhone is also only able to send SMS messages, which means it cannot send pictures, or videos (since it can't even take videos). The Voyager has a tacky, plastic keyboard, the iPhone has an on-screen keyboard (both QWERTY). The Voyager has an on-screen keyboard for certain applications (such as Mobile IM and Mobile Web). I have a friend who works for Verizon, so I too have connections with them. My friend completely agrees with me, the iPhone is better, but not worth buying since it's hooked up to AT&T. I was thinking about buying a Dare, but that is probably just another iPhone knock-off like the Voyager.

Well...

Once again I am a technician at a verizon store and this phone is very good but not worth the price to me and i think it should never be compared to the iphone....if you compare it your a moron...sorry but its true!! The iphone is a much worse phone, i hope verizon never teams with them!!! and I mean never, apple has horrible warranties and the fact asurion wont touch the phone....screw that, the voyager is a much better....this is also coming from a former at&t emplyee before the iphone came out and from my boyfriend who has the phone who has put oalmost 1k in the phone because the first one broke....what a great phone!! Voyager is the way to go if your at Verizon and want something "similiar" but just wait we have a couple great phones coming out at the end of the year!!!
