 Is it a good phone. No idea, Amazon doesn't appear to SHIP it. January 23, 2008

After having my estimated delivery date of 12/27 change to 1/9 then change to 1/23, today (1/22) I get an email from Amazon saying that I didn't click a link in an email they sent a few weeks ago letting them know that I DIDN'T want to cancel my order! As these were presents for my kids, they were understanding that their Christmas present would arrive 2 days after Christmas. Then they were understanding that the date slipped to 1/9. Then they were real disappointed it slipped to 1/23, but were pumped to see them tomorrow. Now Amazon tells me today they canceled my order on my behalf! Gee, thanks Amazon. My kids (your future customers) are not impressed.
 Much better then an iPhone January 18, 2008

This phone is much better then the iPhone!! I was able to purchase this phone for only $300 without upgrading it or extend my current contract, w/o a new contract it retails for about $500 including tax. The one feature I think that's pretty cool is that the computer voice can read out your text messages. I also purchased the Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones for the Voyager and it's awesome, but that's another review.
One thing that I have a problem with the Voyager is that when you're listening to you're music via the headphone, you are unable to open up the web browser. My old phone(Chocolate) allowed you to web browse while listening to your music, I don't know why that's not possible when they're both made by LG. But all and all, this is a iPhone killer.
Excellent phone, minor drawbacks January 11, 2008

I can see why this phone is so popular and difficult to get. Sound and picture quality are excellent, touch screen is nifty and fun to use, and enough features to satisfy even the most avid of media junkies. QWERTY keyboard inside is large enough to be able to quickly text message without too much worry of typos, and the new "optimized" web browser shows exactly the desktop pages I need without a problem, either on the external or the internal screen. I also like the choice of opening the phone either halfway (with screen at an angle) or completely (flat).
Why don't I give it five stars then? Because of a couple of small technical problems.
First, Verizon has a very specific plan for this particular phone. If you're upgrading from existing equipment, chances are you need to change your plan. It actually worked mostly in my favor in terms of minutes (50 more for the same price), but imagine my surprise when I tried to use the NAV system and got an "expired" message with options for purchase, when before on my old plan with my LG8300 I'd already had unlimited access to Navigation. Since I really needed it, I chose the automatic $10 option (which I assume will keep it operational for another month), instead of the $3 "daily" option. It required another call to customer service to straighten it out.
Second, because the sound speaker is on the inside, you cannot hear voice instructions from the NAV system unless you open the device (although the NAV display and controls work on the external screen just fine). You can get around this problem if you use a bluetooth device in conjunction with the speaker, but personally I absolutely hate wearing those things in my ear.
And unfortunately, there is currently no mount on the market which will allow you to mount the phone in your car in such a way that you can leave the device open. And even from the closed position, Verizon does not make a mount for this phone...you will need to go to a third-party electronics store to find one suitable (I had to visit three different stores to do so before I finally found a "universal" cup holder mount). So the NAV system is, in effect, more inconvenient for me than it was on my old phone...I'm stuck with very muffled NAV instructions on a closed phone if I ever want to use that feature.
Other than that though, it's a great little device.
 amazon service STINKS! January 10, 2008

I currently have been waiting for this phone now for... well, since December 5th. The amazon website "SAID" that the phone availability time was 1-3 weeks, and then when I ordered, it bumped it up to 2-4 weeks... seems almost like false advertising.
But the beauty of it is, that the phone actually is not even in stock, and Amazon doesn't even KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE! I have gotten NO emails telling when this thing will be shipped, customer service reps are clueless and seem more eager to cancel my order than to actually get my phone delivered... So, order this phone from amazon at your own risk... or if you just don't care if you ever get the phone...
My Account says (and has since December 5th!)
Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date. You can cancel at any time.
Terrible - Do not buy! Waste of money! January 8, 2008
15 out of 53 found this review helpful
This phone is horrible. First off, the touch screen is pointless. It is impossible to text on from it. Secondly, it makes calls while its in your pocket! The screen is PRESSURE sensitive, not HEAT sensitive. Verizon strictly told me this and since I am a genius with phones, I kind of figured it out myself. The screen dents in when you press buttons and it's terrible. Don't get it just because of its amazing keyboard. It is so bad. It was the biggest waste of money for me. Just isn't ready yet! Go to the enV - much better phone. I'm back to my VX8600 and I couldn't be happier. I honestly wouldn't pay $20 for this phone. TERRIBLE! Please listen!!!!!!! I'm the type that gets a new phone every 5 months. DO NOT BUY.
