*UPDATED*
PhoneDog is reporting that the VX11000 will not be called the Voyager2, due to continuing licensing issues with Plantronics, so expect it to have a brand new name. He also says there will be a Dolby Audio mode, but the headset jack is 2.5mm, not 3.5mm. It also appears that VCast MobileTV (MediaFLO) has been removed.

Voyager Looks the same, but the screen looks a little bigger, maybe a full 3'' like the dare? it'll sell. I say "eh" to the env3 however....

I'm sure they'll both sell but I say "eh" to BOTH as they are practically the same *YAWN*

The Voyager looks almost the same... I agree with PapaJay224 that the screen apears to be a little larger but I also feel as though the EnV2 has made the biggest change. It looks 20 times better than the original, even though very minor changes were made. Thank god they took off that chrome...

I agree. The Voyager2 should have been a slider. But this is ok. I think by the info provided it should be a good upgrade to the Voyager (1). The EnV3 NOT! Go back to the EnV and THAT is an upgrade. The lack of outer screen control is crazy. But who knows maybe they will bring it back. Time will tell.

The ENV3 outer screen is bigger. I can't see that it would be as lame as it was.

goto the page on the EnV3 itself.. you will see that the screen is bigger on the front, when it's actually on. you can see that it is as tall as the original EnV's but much wider.

I was all excited when i heard the voyager was gonna be a slider. Too bad. What was the point of either of these phones? Neither of them are that much of an improvement, or not enough for me to run out and buy one. Especially the env3.

Jesus you guys are hard on new phones. These units are not even out yet and you already feel the need to judge them by looks alone? How about you wait until launch and play with the two units side by side with their previous models and then make a post?

Based in the information given, there is not much of an upgrade. Considering the new design, some of the new features, and the possible new software, we can predict that it's not going to be so great.

Way to be innovative Verizon. Take existing phones, tweak them slightly and then tell us it's a whole new phone. Verizon continues to have weak lineups in phones. Show us something new and worth while.

Yeah because VERIZON makes these phones....they just slap a LG tag on their so they can pass the blame. Such a rocket scientist as yourself should not grace your presence on us infitile morons. BB Storm FTW

vzw, like all other carriers, chooses what to "purchase" from the manufactures... more often than not, with these types of phones, the manufacturers are told by the phone carriers what they are looking for, then the carriers are shown a selection of phones that matches their criteria, and they choose which phones will be sold to the general public... the other method is, manufactures present carriers with a certain phone, and the manufacture chooses to carry it or not...

Yeah, such a rocket scientist as YOURSELF should notice how rehnhart made no mention of verizon manufacturing the phones. Everyone knows the carrier has a choice in what is done to their lineup of phones. What a fucking moron you are if you think the carrier has no choice in what is done with their exclusive phones. The reason for verizon to "trickle" features into phones instead of releasing a 5 mp, mediaflo, capacitive touch, slider is so that the consumer always feels the need to get the next best phone. Instead of feeling as though "my phone is just as good as any other" for 3 years until considerably better tech comes out. Money, son. They don't want another 5mp phone that will cut into the omnia's sales due to the lost revenue on PDA data plans.

The Godfather huh? you think you are soo smart... You don't know a damn thing about how these phones are made... LG is made in Korea (read it on the phone itself), and they are made by LG!!! just because Verizon has say in the design doesnt mean that Verizon "makes" these phones... check yourself buddy... and your information. -InfoMan80

The Env3 looks better, and nice to see a larger front screen. Hopefully they won't be the big let down as with the Env2. More than half the Env2's our store sold came back defective within a couple of months, sometimes straight out of the box. VX11000... almost looks like it shrunk a bit in overall size. We'll see how well it performs once it's out and in everyone's hands.

Really? The env2 has been one of my most dependable selling phones, I personally own one and love it. Movies, music, and overall usability exceeded my expectations.

I agree... I am partial to the design, but the phone is a tank... -InfoMan 80
