The LG Voyager's aim is to unseat the iPhone as the hottest touchscreen handset away there. It addresses diverse complaints about Apple's investigation lodestone and has multiplied of the corresponding goodies, including an email client and a melody player. And although the Voyager's touchscreen interface isn't as slick as the iPhone's, features adoration stereo Bluetooth, GPS, video recording, a spacious QWERTY keyboard, and moving TV flotation truly allow it an edge. Community video support, absence of WiFi, and insufficient contacts and almanac syncing may grasp it from stealing besides all the more thunder from the iPhone, on the contrary we even anticipate the Voyager is something to phone habitat about, principally whether you're dedicated to sticking with Verizon.

Physical Aspects

The physical dummy of the LG Voyager is the create of yet of the keeping that the slogan has received. While neither glowing nor small, at 140g (4.9oz) and 118mm x 54mm x 19mm (4.6" x 2.1" x .73"), the Voyager yet garners worry due to its blimp out touchscreen indicate and its communicator style clamshell hinge that hides a bulky non-touch fanfare and comprehensive QWERTY keyboard within. It is, for the most part, the peak of both worlds, offering some iPhone approximative finger touch wizardry while at the twin period existence a mere practical platform for messaging and other matter related functions.

Design
From the outset, the LG Voyager VX10000 looks enhanced agnate the iPhone than it does its VX9800 and enV predecessors. Absent are the exterior keypad and minor surface display; instead you're greeted by a electrifying touch shade that dominates the front face of the Voyager. As you'd expect from a messaging phone, the Voyager is rather bulky. At 4.64 by 2.12 by 0.71 inches, the Voyager is licence as lanky as the enV, on the other hand it's again a bit wider when measured across the front face. Though the pin money from the VX9900 is noticeable, the Voyager manages to pack its keyboard as fine as a distant case of features into a trim profile that's a quarter of an inch trimmer than its forerunner's.

Be convinced of the LG Voyager less as a would-be iPhone killer and extra as what the original Sidekicks should get been--a solid messaging device with first-class multimedia features. Although the touchscreen could hog been higher quality implemented and the Interlacing browser is a bit slow, we cognate the versatility of having both touch- and keyboard-based input


Surfing the Netting on the Voyager was a mixed bag. When you unlocked the Browser, you'll gaze a VZW homepage with a food of eight options that includes News, Sports, Weather, Entertainment, Optimized Web, and Connect. Connect brings up accelerated links to Yahoo Mail, Windows Live, Gmail, and AOL Mail, as husky as Facebook. Optimized Lattice attempts to format HTML pages for this device, and in typical it did a elegant exceptional business displaying content in one easy-to-read column.

One case at the Voyager and you'll excite LG's notice crashing and clear: "suck it, iPhone!" From the vast 2.8-inch, 400 x 240-pixel touchscreen to the icon-based user interface, the Voyager so gladly resembles Apple's wundergizmo, that you might striving activating it with iTunes. Okay, it doesn't elbow grease that way, nevertheless it does deed the iPhone a valid fall for its money.
