UPDATE: Verizon's LG VX9600 found on FCC site
Share this page:
*UPDATE* We have learned from a sources on HowardForums that the VX9600 will be a lower-end (more affordable) version of the Dare, with a 2MP camera and not all the bells-and-whistles. It will not be the Voyager 2.

The VX9600 is almost exactly the same as the DARE. What are the differences? Well, you will be able to buy ADD-ONS to create your own device. I have seen this phone in the wild and actually activated it for a company that tests BREW apps in my territory. This phone, at launch will have 3 modules that attach to it via the data/charging port: one is music centric, one is texting centric, and the other is gaming centric. Can you guess what these are? Well since PA already shows them you know it is SPEAKERS, QWERTY Keyboard, and GAMEPAD. From the one I actually activated, it is actually a complete duplicate except for the 3D graphic accelerator for gaming and improved interface. When it first came into the store, one of the reps said, "Is that a poor man's DARE?" He thought it was a clone. It looks like LG added a BOLD type battery backing and made the 3 main buttons look different. Otherwise, it comes down to guts. We can no longer assume the model number means a greater or lesser model. Instead just see if it has a cute little name -- then you'll know how high end it is. THE LG-VX9600: "PHENOM", "VERSA", or "CLIP" What do you like better? I'm going with the PHENOM.

I don't know much about phones. I love the qwerty on the blackberry and have an iphone. I have no service with ATT where I live so am switching to Verizon. I need a phone that I'll LOVE. Voyager seems great, but should I wait??...

game pad.....3D Grahical UI........Think it is possibly that they might be trying to come out with a gaming centric phone?

i bet this will replace the voyager like the env2 replaced the env. i wonder if it will be out at the same time as the blackberry storm?

not true the "titanium" titanium voyager also has VVM and Rhapsody support along with a more Dare-esque operating system so, you fail
23. (unregistered) posted on 08 Sep 2008, 18:29 0 0
Actually YOU fail. That was merely a long expected software update that had been made for the Voyager. The Voyager Titanium was simply Verizon trying to bring an old phone back to life, so they can sell a little more. The same thing happened with the enV. A new software update was released along with a "new" enV Orange and enV Green, and then a few months later the enV 2 is released. The same with the Chocolate, VX8350, and pretty much any other phone Verizon has. They release a phone in a new color to boost sales until the phone's successor is released. Try recognizing patterns, and maybe doing a bit of research next time "some guy".. but .. it was a nice try. Oh and again, you just had an epic fail.

ok, i'm guessing (or hoping) that its gunna be like a dare with a slide out keyboard. it should keep all the same features. the reason i'm saying this is because i thought at first that it might be a model down because of it being deamed vx9600 when the dare is vx9700, but they can't call it any higher models. the V was vx9800, env was vx9900 and voyager was vx10000, i'm just hoping they add mobile tv to it. but it has to be a different form factor becase if it was just a new version of the dare, it would probably be called vx9750. i'm just saying this because of the rumor of the prada 2 having a full keyboard. i don't know, i hope so. that would be sick!!!

i heard its going to have some sort of detachable controller pad. I could be wrong but sounds pretty cool especially if you can multi player with others via bluetooth like the ngages.

well then env was the 9900 and the env2 was the 9100 so the numbers really dont matter here
9. (unregistered) posted on 06 Sep 2008, 20:01 0 0
agree with #14 the env is the 9900 and the env 2 is the 9100 same with the the lg-vx8600 and the lg-vx8610 (decoy) one would think its an upgrade but really is just a whole different handset. i wouldnt take model number into consideration.

well, yeah, thats what i'm saying. the review says it might be a step down. but i dont think so.
