Out of all of Verizon’s holiday lineup, the most anticipated (and the most hyped) has been the Voyager. A clamshell with full touchscreen on the outside and QWERTY keypad for fulsome messaging on the inside, it’s been granted the usual title of “iPhone Killer” and Verizon’s Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman pushed out all [...]

Dual-screens on a cellphone are nothing new: clamshells have had them for years, giving Caller ID and status on the outside, while Samsung even experimented with candybars that had a screen on each side.  Verizon’s musicphone for this season, however, the Venus by LG, manages to eke a further new trick out of the dual-screen [...]

So I talked not too long ago about a batch of new phones that Verizon was getting, I am pretty sure this one was on the list. Now here it is in real life with the Verizon badging junk on it.

When you’re making cellphones it can be tricky finding a unique selling point that pushes your new handset out in front of the crowd.  It’s made doubly difficult when the phone is neither high-fashion nor smartphone; that’s what’s left Verizon championing their latest 3G clamshell, the Samsung SGH-U700 Gleam, not so much for its high-speed [...]

Verizon waded into the holiday season with some fighting words about their iPhone-rival, the LG Voyager, with chief marketing officer Mike Lanman quoted as saying “it will kill the iPhone.”  Since then, pundits on both sides of the fence have argued whether the sleek clamshell - which admittedly blows the iPhone out of the water when [...]

Think you can help Sprint make some more dough and raise their market share? Well boy do we have the job opportunity of a lifetime for you; you see Sprint is looking to have a changing of the guard if you will.
It’s only a rumor because the people over at Sprint won’t say a thing [...]

Have you ever called up your mobile phone provider and tried to change your plan? They’re almost always more than happy to accommodate your needs, so long as you extend your contract. Starting this weekend, you won’t have to worry when calling in to Verizon to change your plan.

There is the Juke by Samsung, the Pearl by Blackberry, and the Venus and Voyager both by LG. The top of the line in that list is the LG Voyager.
