Excellent phone, lots of techno fun! May 10, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Voyager is a great phone to start with, that was my first priotity. It has great signal strength and the sound is crisp and clear. The people I talk with have no trouble hearing me.
The e-mail and web browser where important and the functionality of both is fine. Nothing exceptional, but robust enough for how I use them.
The calendar is as good as any other phone. The music software is less than great but, works well once used to it.
It is a rather large phone. I added the Body-Glove immediately so I could use a belt clip. Plus I have used the screen protector from day 1.
The touch-pad works great, the additional steps for receiving a call are easy to get used to quickly. The touch pad is by far the best way to text message that I have ever experienced. It is intuitive and easy. If you are a texter you will love the touch pad.
The camera works well for a phone. Nothing exceptional.
After six weeks I am very happy with the purchase and didn't need to switch to another service to have the techno-touch-pad.
It is a cool phone that works very well overall. I would recommend it to anyone if a phone on the edge was what they are looking for. Feedback and comments are always welcome.
 Advanced Features, Lacks Basic Expectations for Phones May 7, 2008

This phone has many neat features such as mobile tv, vcast, etc, but lacks many basic phone features one comes to expect with phones. Coverage is also spotty (LG Chocolate 2 gets better reception)
Pros:
-Great camera (unless viewing taken pictures on phone)
-internal keyboard is nice
-font is actually readable (not microscopic font like on enV
-VZ Navigator (on most phones)
-shows date and time when on a call (most VZW phones dont do this)
-comes with data cord
Cons:
-Terrible battery just with everyday use (texting 150+messages, 5-6 calls)
-Reception not strong
-Very heavy and bulky, sticks out in your pocket and weighs a ton
-Vibrate feature is WAYY to loud, all of my friends get annoyed with it and tell me to just put it on 'low' because that would be softer. i thought the purpose of vibrate was to 'feel and not hear'...
-Touch screen is not responsive
-Phone randomly locks up, a white line runs up and down the touch screen, can only be fixed by taking out the battery
-Call quality sucks. I used another friends verizon phone (VX8300) after I had just made a call in the same location on my voyager and could not believe how crisp the person sounded, shows how weak the call quality is
-No headphones included (ipod ones won't work, have to be special verizon ones)
-Too expensive for what your really getting.
-Browser isn't "full" html. i hate comparisons but the internet is better on the iPhone
-No flash!?
-Camera settings don't save (for example if you turn external display on for group pictures, you have to go to the menu to turn it on every time)
-Front screen is annoying to use and impossible to call or text without looking
-No notes under contacts
-Only 1 email address, contacts feel 'incomplete'
Overall this phone is too overpriced and lacks wayyy to many basic features (reception, contacts, batter life, dialing calls) for the price. This phone looses the cool factor after a 2 months when the annoyances start settling in. I reccommend a different phone for your sanity
 This really DESERVES a ZERO!!! May 5, 2008

Verizon has a HUGE HABIT of RUINING every phone that they release. Instead of letting the BRAND Company like (LG, Samsung, or Motorola) design the phone & user interface/menu design they just always have to add their input, TAKE CHARGE, FORCE THE COMPANY 2 use their MENU STYLE, & ruin everything. This LG is all IMAGE and no substance. It's only good for texting & nothing else and the texting ain't all that. On top of that Verizon has the most expensive data plans ever and not to mention it's not even for unlimited USAGE. The Instant message AOL software is the WORST. It doesn't even load or refresh your buddy list in real time. I signed on AOL from my computer and saw i had 15 friends on when i signed on from the LG Voyager it only listed 2 friends and said everyone else was offline. I signed off the computer thinking maybe because i am signed on in 2 places might be effecting it but that wasn't the case. I even used the REFRESH buddy list feature on the LG and still only had 2 friends on while in actuality 15 were on. Then i decided to test it 1 last time thinking something was wrong so i used my friend's sidekick and signed on AOL IM and the sidekick LX loaded all my buddies in REAL TIME. This is just a MESS and Verizon is still FORCING their clients to use the FOLDER tab MENU STYLE. Why don't they get that NOBODY likes it. Just leave the LG user interface intact!!!! Thanks VERIZON you MESSED UP AGAIN!!!!!
 Destroys the iphone May 4, 2008

Sweetest phone ever. iphone is a good ipod with phone stuff, but this is the best phone with multimedia abilities out there. Easy to use, tons of things you can do with it and looks sweet too. Perfect example was last night I was watching the race on tv, and with 40 laps to go they switched to some stupid tv show. So I turned on mobile tv on my phone and finished watching the race.
Good phone for the non-business user, but navigation is terrible April 24, 2008

My husband bought me the Voyager for Christmas to provide me with a phone that had an internet browser and a navigational system. The browser works pretty well, and was much easier to figure out than my husband's browser on his blackberry. There are some sites you can't see such as most YouTube videos. Also, you can't pull up Yahoo or Google maps. But I was able to pull up my Yahoo email and my TimeWarner email on their webmail site as well as my Yahoo calendar. Wikipedia comes in fairly well and the web pics are incredibly clear. Overall, I'm very pleased with the browser, also it's much slower than a computer. (But then I'm used to high speed broadband.)
The screen is very easy to read. The camera works better than any phone camera I've seen, but has no flash which is a real drawback since phone flashes can double as a mini flashlight. The touchpad works pretty well, but it's a pain to always have to unlock the phone. I often have trouble with the touchpad for one button functions like speed dialing and scrolling through my contacts list. Also, the screen scratches easily, so you need a skin or case if you want to protect it. The keyboard, on the other hand is great and much easier to use than the blackberry keyboards. This phone accepts voice commands, but I rarely use them because the phone doesn't understand my Southern accent.
Unlike most blackberries, the Voyager has an mp3 player. If you're shopping, waiting for someone, riding the subway, etc., it's nice to pop in some earphones (you'll need an adapter for regular earphones) and listen to the music. You can also get a car adaptor and listen to music through your car stereo. It took a couple of tries before I figured out the music software, but now it's a breeze to add music to the phone. You'll need a memory card to store a decent amount of music. You can also listen to music through the speakers, but the quality is poor. Also the speakers aren't very loud, and that is true for the speakerphone too. But you can hear fine as long as there's not a lot of background noise.
One drawback with texting on this phone is I cannot figure out if there's an "autofill" for the address like you have in an email program. To send a text, you have to punch 6 buttons just to get to the contact list, then after you find the contact, there's another 3 buttons before you finally get to a text message screen to type in your message.
The worst feature of this phone is the navigational system. That was one of the reasons we picked this phone, but it does not compare to car navigational systems. I have used three different car systems and they all were much superior to VZ navigation. When I tried to use VZ, the features were confusing and it was slow switching between screens. Also there's a charge for using it. I used it during the trial period and wasn't impressed. The one time I paid to get directions, the street info it gave us was wrong.
Overall, it's a good choice for those who are looking for a cell phone with a browser and would like the benefits of an mp3 player too. But don't expect this to take the place of a laptop or a good car navigational system.
