 What an incredible phone and giant leap for Verizon & LG December 12, 2007

I know that there is a lot of hype surrounding this phone and a lot of controversy on whether or not it an "iphone killer." Personally, I say, who cares? If you are on Verizon then this is the best option for you and and iPhone is not even an option at all! (yet).
The screen is incredibly vivid and bright and the interface is nice. Many have said that the phone is "clunky." What? "clunky?" come on, this is a great phone and the touch responsiveness is great, especially with the low vibrate every time you touch. I have the ipod touch, so I can definitly make comparisons between both touch platforms, the ipod has its up's, but the voyager is in no way left in the dust.
The Mobile TV is great and presents a nice picture (from NYC). The music is nice quality and loud. The browser is full HTML and overall a nice browser. To correctly utilize the phone, I suggest using the touch interface on the front sometimes, then flipping it open at other times. If done correctly, you will have a sort of "mouse" and "keyboard" feature going.
It is overall a great phone and well worth the price and wait for such an advanced piece of technology such as it's self!
I was looking for something smart December 12, 2007

To be perfectly honest, I was stoked to see a phone that could compete with the iPhone. I wanted an iPhone until I heard a lot of complaining about the phone, specifically that I'd have to change to AT&T. That price drop also didn't endear me.
I was torn between the Venus and Voyager, and I settled on the Voyager because I was somewhat worried about the sliding on the Venus and because the Voyager has many more multimedia options than the Venus. The biggest example is the TV. Frankly, I doubt I'll use it often, but it's FUN to at least HAVE the option.
The issues I have with the phone coincide with many of the reviews I've already seen: durability of the touchpad; battery life; getting used to the touchpad controls.
I haven't removed the original film off the front of the phone, and I'm happy I haven't, seeing as it gets more scratches than I care to admit. They sell film to cover the touchpad, but it's unnerving to leave the phone bare.
The battery life tends to depend on how many applications I'm using. So far, it's been fine, but if I use it too much, I recharge it on my computer using the USB port. It's a fast fix for the problem.
The touchpad needs getting used to. You have to constantly unlock it, and it takes awhile to understand the patterns. I wish LG had made the menus more intuitive, and had allowed the user to choose which functions are on top. I tend to use the Email and Internet Browser a lot, and I always have to dig to find the applications.
Finally, I have to say... because you're used to the touchpad, you tend to forget there are actually "SEND/CLEAR/END" buttons on the bottom of the phone. This actually makes receiving calls much easier than it seems, but, again, it's not necessarily intuitive because you get used to using the touchpad for everything.
Still, I'm happy with the phone for the most part. It was my 2-yr upgrade from an LG V, and, although I need to buy film for the touchpad and an exterior memory card, I still paid about half what I would have for an iPhone without changing companies nor any of the additional costs.
Overall, this is a techno-geek phone, with marvelous multi-media capabilities, a full Internet browser that you can see on either screen, a full QWERTY keyboard that's a bit larger than the LG enV, and several other bells and whistles.
If you're not techno-savvy, get a less technology intense phone because this is not a beginner's phone. It's also not a PDA, and its capabilities for appt keeping and such are fairly basic.
 Not worth the money... December 4, 2007

This phone just doesn't feel like it's real...Idk..there's just something about it that makes me want to return it.
For one, the keyboard feels somewhat cheap. Secondly, the screen is rather small. Thirdly, the touch-interface is VERY poor. Fourthly, I LOVE Macs and I hate that LG stole so many of Mac's icons in their designs...how pathetic..

I received the LG Voyager on yesterday evening and returned it on yesterday. I was so frustrated with the phone because once I discovered how to scroll it was always opening something I didn't want it to. I also hated the unlock feature that would just lock when I was playing with the phone. Overall, it seems like it could get better but it's too soon to buy this phone. I spoke with one of the reps and he stated that he would wait until April to buy it because there will be many updates that Verizon will make on the phone. I suppose I may wait as well. I was also reading reviews for the IPhone and a few reviewers suggested that we wait until after the holidays to buy any new phones because most companies make updates in the upcoming year. I plan to review both phones and check with the reps about updates because most of the time they get the phones when they are pretty much in workable conditions. Right now, the voyager needs a lot of work.
WOW!!!! December 2, 2007

I got this phone as a combined birthday/Hanukkah/Solstice/Christmas gift (what can I say - I am a Unitarian Universalist with a December birthday).
But after only a few hours of use, you could not pay me enough to get it away from me.
I can get my email, browse the web, text message, keep my calendar, and so much more, all in a system which, to me, is utterly intuitive.
Type keys are a size that fit real fingers, screens are responsive, colors are brilliant, the camera is responsive both in regular and low light, and . . . I could go on and on.
But, A WARNING - get this phone and there is no going back! You will never accept less.
And, I need to add that I am at the most remote piece of the continental US and still the Verizon reception is awesome; high-speed connect speeds for the web and all.
So, read the hype on this phone, but know it lives up to it.
(But, please, remember the name of the phone is pronounced "Voy-a-jay" - it is a French word! - use that pronounciation and confused the Verizon tech staff.)
