Just in time for the holiday season is one of Verizon’s most highly anticipated phones – the Voyager by LG. LG is looking to knock the iPhone out its top spot with the Voyager’s dual screen displays (large external touch-screen and slightly smaller screen when flipped open), 2.0 megapixel camera, VZ Navigator, a microSD memory slot which can support up to 8GB of additional memory and full QWERTY keypad.
The Voyager is all about video and music. It offers V Cast Video, Verizon Wireless’ multimedia service with news, sports and entertainment video clips, 3D games, V Cast Music and V Cast Mobile TV.
We just got the Voyager in and I have to say it’s a sweet phone. But is an iPhone killer? You’ll have to check back for our full review. Enjoy the unboxing video and images.
The Voyager will be available on November 21 for $299.99 after $50 rebate and with a two-year customer agreement.

I agree with emily you should definetly buy the voyager. I mean its the same basic thing as the iphone, but has a qwerty keyboard. I think that the mobile tv is good, but doesnt have all the channels that you like but it does have some stations with good tv shows at night like, heroes and house. But I think that the most important thing that seperates the voyager from the iphone is that the voyager has a removeable battery unlike the iphone which you have to bring it back to the store and then a new one which cost even more money. Also with the iphone you first have to pay $1000 dollars for the first time around and then you have to pay $60 dollars for the monthly fee. the monthly fee for the voyager with everything on it is $25 dollars, now I dont know about all of you guys but I would rather pay $25 dollars for the voyager then pay $60 dollars for the iphone. So you pretty much are paying for something that is $35 dollars less that is the same thing but has mobile tv and a qwerty keyboard. So I guess in this case less is more. LOL
+2kristen November 26, 2007
so it only costs 25$ a month for web browsers and mobile tv and all the features?
Neutralrob November 26, 2007
hey im dieing for the voyager but i was wondering… on the web browsing is myspace good? and can you go on youtube?
Neutralrichard December 6, 2007
Here is a real question of functionality and useability.
Battery life. The Q touts 8 days of standby time-
With the extended battery I cabn get 10 hours if lucky.
Does anyone have feedback on the reality of its battery life?
-1Darren Curry December 8, 2007
It’s 25 for the data service and txt messaging, but that 25 dollars is an add-on fee. So your playing 60 dollars a month for the phone itself and then 25 dollars extra for the features giving you a 85 dollar a month phone.
The iPhone doesn’t cost 1000 dollars it only costs 400. Which is 50 dollars more then the Voyager, but from what I’ve played with the iPhone is a much better then the Voyager. The Touch screen is better and the music and video features are better and to add-on to that it has iTunes on it’s back.
Don’t get me wrong my family uses Verizon so I lost my chance to get an iPhone so I decided to get a Voyager.
NeutralNOT Liiink December 14, 2007
I have the phone, and use it a lot so I have to recharge it every day. Just like the I-phone its a battery killer when your on the web and watching the mobil tv.
+1The only way to watc youtube videos is by going to “www.m.youtube.com” this mobil version of youtube literaly only has a handful of videos, but they did say that they are working really hard to uplooad thier videos to ther mobil site.

dose any one know where u could find a vert good case for the voyager. i dont want a pouch i want some to protect the scren and the phone like a case. how much dose it cause to get the HTM browser. dose the myspace and youtubework good.
+1Ty December 19, 2007
Yea, it’s a VERY nice phone, I just wish it wasn’t so DANG expensive. But a very good competitor phone on a different phone carrier.
+2Tom December 27, 2007
Im actually on my voyager right now. I really like it. The only downside to the web is no youtube but thats a minor thing everyother webpage looks great.
+2Magpie December 30, 2007
Great review. Glad to hear folks are enjoying the LG Voyager. I only wish it wasn’t so much money. Though it seems to be like having a mini laptop. Sure would like to try it before buying one.

well, my 2 year plan with verizon is going to be up on the 24. i was wondering do you think the price of the voyager will go down alittle bit by then and how much does it cost to have just texting on it?

+2i don’t think the price of the phone will ever go done i had the LG6700 before getting the voyager and it’s still the same price to date …if you get the unlimitted texting its only $10 more to your plan and they have a plan now for $30 you get everything unlimited texting, picture texting, internet use and vz navigation the voyager is the best phone i have ever owned and i have had my share of phones the only thing i don’t like is that the phone does not multitask i would like to listen to music while playing a game but you can’t do that, thats the only down side

i think that the voyager is much better than the iphone it is much faster.
+1bob February 5, 2008
hay emily ya ur right on every thing u say but joe man ur wrong lol its 20 bucks as long as u r a existing atnt costumer i mostly like the iphone for it will go great with all the other apple stuff i got and the fact is if i switch to verizon to get the voyager it will cost me a shit load with a 2 yr contract and the i phone has 16gig now so i can get more movies pics and/or music i personally think the iphone voyager argument is much like he mac vs pc augment ppl just need to get over it if u have atnt get iphone if u have verison get the voyager no big deal gzz

i have the voyager and all i have to say is that i love everything about it! they sell like a screen protecter that is clear and feels a little plastic so its durable and it sticks on to the touch screen like a sticker (dosent leave any marks if you take it off, i tried it) and protects it from anything. I own one and it is very use full. They also sell like a soft rubbery cover that goes on the phone itself and on top of that they sell a pouch to carry it in. im not sure about youtube, but the html browser is really good and very quick.

Dude you are wrong the iphone does not cost 1000 dollars i used to have one and it only cost 400 dollars and i switched to the voyager so yeah

I sold my.iphome to buy a voyager and I am happy.
First of all. you can enjoy the absoltely same youtube experience on the Voyager as on the iphone at m youtube.com. All of the same videos available to iphone users can be viewed on the Voyager.
After a quick learning period, using the html browser on the Voyager is nearly as good as the iphone’s browsing experience. With the newer model which.includes the latest upgrade, you can scroll a page bve
NeutralAlan May 30, 2008
..as I was saying, with latest voyager model (or upgarde forf older models), you can scroll web pages before they are finished loading similar to the iphone. Newest voyager models have a great zoom in/zoom out feature that is fast.
With the voyager on verizon, I get all my calls and they do not get dropped. 5 bars? The only bars att knows are the watering holes their execs frequent every night. With att I would flatline everytime I entered a building. In Wal Mart I would have no signal.
Verizon and the Lg Voyager rock. Iphome users, did you know that whem you broswe the web on edge you cannot receive phone calls? Iphone 3g will solve that but the Voyager already is 3g!
