As you may recall, I was a bit harsh on the Voyager a while back and I really hate when I have to take things I say back. The Voyager has come a long way since the VX9800 and improves over the enV thanks to the touchscreen. I could go on and bash the Verizon UI, but I’m tired, have no idea what time zone I’m in and it’s just not worth it. Is the Voyager a good phone? Yes. Is it *gasp* an iPhone killer? Heck if I know. I’m not in the business of comparing every damn phone with some touch screen functionality to the iFone like every other douche out there. Now that we’ve gotten over that awkward stage let’s get on with the show.
The Voyager’s form factor is sleek and stylish, though, I really am starting to loathe all ‘shiny’ phones flooding the market these days. It’s just a pain in the ass to keep clean. Does the Voyager make phone calls that are clear? Yes, but for some odd reason I feel like I’m echoing just enough that it annoys me. Besides that all is well. When making phone calls the screen locks itself and you have to hit the unlock button where as the iPhone just knows when you’re putting it up to your cheek. I only make this comparison because it’s valid and probably the only one I’ll make throughout this review. The touchscreen isn’t all that great, but it does give that haptic feedback some people like. You can also drag across Web pages and menus by sliding your finger, but other than that, I don’t think it really does anything else special. For its size it’s quite lightweight and that’s always a plus in my book.
Dual screens are nice and the Voyager gets props for that. I love QWERTY keyboards and the Voyager has a nice big one that even those with ginormous fingers will be able to use without fear of mashing multiple keys. I don’t recommend trying to text from the external screen because predictive text sucks and you know it. Why even bother when you have a QWERTY available to you, right?
Let’s just get down to the nitty gritty. The VX10000 runs on Verizon’s EV-DO networks so everything is fast, but it can be clunky and video playback was bad. GPS is always a great feature to have, but when it can’t even find you in the airport with full bars that’s a bad sign. I’ll let this one slide since I did test it while waiting in the airport because I know it works outside. The touch screen, while it’s nice and bright and big, can sometimes be unresponsive or just slow. The 2-megapixel camera isn’t that great and it lacks a flash so don’t expect too much from it. Would it kill LG to add Wi-Fi? The Voyager’s predecessors always had great speakers and the VX10000 is no different.
If you’re looking for THE cool phone on Verizon’s network then pick up the Voyager. It’s available today at your local Verizon store.
GPS is satellite bases (like direct tv or xm radio) and therefore requires a view of the sky to work.
My issue after having it the better part of the day is that I have already had three hard freezes requiring me to remove the battery to recover.
Also from a usability perspective, it would be nice if there was power switch on the outside (the lock button could do double duty). Having to open the phone just to turn it on with that fancy touch screen just seems dumb
The END key is a power key too
You use the end key to turn it on you don’t need to open it.
There is a power switch on the outside..if you hold down the end key on the outside it works just the same as the one on the inside
The GPS chip in CDMA phones is actually an Assisted-GPS chip. So yes, it does use GPS satellites, but if it can’t see enough/any it should be able to determine your position by cell tower-based triangulation.
i dont think you have to open the phone to turn it on……doesn”t it have the external pwr button?
thats what i use to turn it on
Yes, George, I know how GPS works. I guess I’ve been lucky bc mine hasn’t locked up. *knocks on wood*
It should also be noted that I was by the huge windows while testing the GPS and my Ocean had no problem locating me at Newark airport.
VZ guy for a quite a bit, and after using the voyager I was very disappointed:
The touchpad implementation is horrible, like you have to push through the screen to get to the touchpad.
Screen is not very solid. It’s squishy when pressed on.
Speakerphone does not work while the phone is closed, the phone is ackward to hold/talk on with one hand while open.
Speakerphone/speakers where not very loud and quality was not exceptional. Perhaps the display was broken.
Could not figure out how to adjust the speakerphone with the phone open. Opening the phone covers the volume buttons on the side of the phone. Am I missing something?
The voyager can not mulitask like the much cheaper venus/chocalate. In other words you can text or listen to music not both. Disappointing on verizon’s top of the line multimedia phone.
Maybe I could get over these limitations if I owned the phone but as it is I’m looking at either the Q, i760, Flip, Venus or Razr 2 if I upgrade in the near future….
Well I went from sprint had an htc mogul for bout a month and ditched that windows-based phones “S” if you know.Got the voyager Wednesday and will return it tomorrow,what is the use of having a supposedly touch screen when you can’t scroll or at least I couldn’t.Also not to many options as far as tweaking the phone.Web is also very limited you figure all the hype it would be something great.Probably going for the venus even maybe the flipshot at least have a decent camera..
Actually you can scroll, you’re probably doing it the wrong way, u don’t pull ur finger down to go down, you drag the scroll bar up, it sounds backwards, but it actually makes sense… It was funny a guy at verizon was talking aobut how people buy expensive fancy phones and then don’t know how to use them… hmm
I just bought a Voyager and have a question. I use my phone to access AOL e-mail. Never had a problem with my previous phone (LG ENV). On the Voyager, when I go to the browser and select AOL e-mail, about 60% of the time it says “sending” and then times out. The other 40% it works fine. If I select from the other menu choices–Yahoo mail, Gmail, etc.–it works 100% of the time. I called Verizon tech support and they were of no help and couldn’t explain why this is happening. I’m thinking of returning the phone. Before I do (I would love to solve this problem and keep it)–I was wondering if there are any suggestions.
thats what you get for using AOL
You can also access the on the go featuse of “mobile e-mail” which is free and it works 100 percent of the time.
I have the LG enV, and I’m thinking about getting the LG Voyager, do you recomend it?
yes i highly recommend it
i agree with the other reviewers. I was very hyped about the phone and sort of disappointed. i don’t think i would like an i phone either however, because the touch screen can get old and my fingers get itchy and burn very easily. also dragging up and down with your finger isn’t easy either. i also don’t like that i have to unlock the phone twenty million times and during phone calls. although i thought i would like the keyboard, it really is to big and could be smaller. i do think the voyager is surprisingly lighter and thinner than i thought. jury is still out, will give it a few more weeks befor returning. but mainly life with the touch screen is difficult for me.
I have an Iphone and I like it alot. At first I was very harsh towards this Voyager phone, but the more I see it the more it seems decent. Good as an Iphone? Doesn’t sound like it comes close. A decent phone? Possibly (seeing as I have not actually used one I can’t say for sure).
I will say that the iphone has amazing internet, video, and mail. And the touch screen is great. However, the GPS, and full keyboard could be real plusses for this phone. Naturally I’m staying with the iphone, but if I was used to the Verizon phones and wanted an ihpone-ish type device without changing companies, I think this could do the trick.
Iphone and good internet??? Must be talking about WIFI because the edge network is horrible! I’ve owned the Iphone since it’s release and honestly I think it was way over rated. Don’t get me wrong I love the video quality, resolution etc. but it lacks SO MANY basic functions found on even the cheapest cell phones. The Voyager seems to be better at being a mobile device than the iphone does although I think it needs just a bit of polishing to be better looking overall.

I am very disappointed with this phone, I was very excited about getting it because after having the Chocolate it seemed that LG had finally stepped up their game. Spoke too soon. Yesterday I recieved three voicemails and not a single missed call. I am in a very good area for Verizon and had never had a problem with my previous phone. Also my text messages will come hours after they are sent. The reception on the phone is terrible too, I couldn’t hear anything the other end was saying and kept hearing myself echo. Is anyone experiencing these problems or do I just have a faulty phone?
you should take it to the store, because my old phone was doing that and sometimes they need to like…reset the towers? or something.
i’m not quite sure.
but you should ask them and not just assume it’s always the phone.
not that it definitely is not the phone.
good luck!
I’m 99% sure it’s a faulty phone–both my aunt and my friend (my friend with the LG Chocolate and my aunt with some AT&T LG phone) took their phones back and got new ones that worked like new.
How has nobody touched on the “audio text message” feature? The Voyager has a button (on the touch screen and a Fn/right space bar) feature that has the device read back the text messages to you. Granted you can do it one at a time and its not as cool (in theory) as the iPhone “text voicemail” but its a cool feature…kinda
I just purchased this yesterday and after having several issues that people above have had, I started browsing the web for info on what I was doing wrong or to see if there were updates yet. I love GPS, keyboard for texting, email and the web. I have the worst time with the “press and drag” on menus and webpages. Have had no luck getting the Mobil TV working…as in it won’t so far. I’ve experienced the same issue with phone calls not coming through. Constantly unlocking drives me crazy as well. I’m stopping back by Verizon today to see if there is any relief in my future or if this is really what the phone’s experience is supposed to be like.
@jon
i had the same problem with the mobile tv. i paid for everything and brought it home. when i tried it it kept saying the thing failed. i was reading this site http://skattertech.com/2007/11/lg-voyager-vx10000-verizon-wireless/ and it is saying that it will only work in LA and some other places in california. im really dissapointed about this. they store dude said everything would work. anyone else have any luck?
If you go to the verizon wireless website and look at the “features” tab under the voyager, it lists all of the states where the mobile tv will work. I live in Wisconsin, and we are unable to use that feature. I purchased the Blackberry Pearl yesterday and will be returning it soon (GREAT phone, just can’t use it for the reasons I purchased it – company won’t allow “none company devices” to be linked to the company server). I was considering exchanging it for the Voyager, but after reading these reviews, that doesn’t seem like a good idea. Guess I’ll keep looking!!!
u know there is an antenna on the side u gotta pull out?
I am a VZ subscriber who defected to AT&T briefly for the iPhone (which was a slow, buggy POS with lousy coverage and crap data speeds) before paying an early termination fee and returning to VZW and a Blackberry, tail between legs.
3/4 of the appeal of the iPhone isn’t it’s functionality — it doesn’t do anything particularly well — but rather the aesthetic “ooh and ahhh” effect.
The Voyager has a similar oooh and ahhh effect, while being a better phone with a real keyboard, real 3G data, on the country’s best mobile network.
So is it an iPhone killer?
Depends.
If you’re looking for a phone that is functional and aesthetic with a decent network, it definitely performs every function better than the iPhone (except for playing music). The e-mail is better and faster, the keyboard is much more usable than the smudgeboard predictive monstrosity on the iPhone, and 3G just plasters AT&T’s EDGE. The coverage of Verizon CDMA versus AT&T’s EDGE/GSM network leaves AT&T in the dust.
However, if you’re looking for “hey, I’m so trendy, I’ve got a shiny iPhone,” it’s not better. My experience has been that these guys would excitedly carry around a hunk of human excrement if it was an “Apple iPoo” and chat excitedly about how it “reinvents the fecal paradigm” and “changes everything.”
No accounting for the impractical, I suppose.
I dont care what peopl say, the voyager WILL KILL the iPhone… and thats that. End of story…no questions asked.

Is anyone experiencing these problems or do I just have a faulty phone?
–I always recieve my calls and messages on time. But the echo thing is making EVERYONE i call a huge deal. I have taken it to Verizon and all they said was i had to turn my volume down on my phone all the way…which makes no sence but now that i did that the echo has come back…soo i’m going to get a new one in a few weeks when they get more out. I’m sick of hearing people complain about it when the phone was 300 dollars!
Is there any way to unlock the voyager for tmobile
Yes there probably is a way. But if it’s easier for you. Go to http://www.completemobile.us. You can get any phone (Blackberry, iPhone, etc..) unlocked and for a way much more better price. And better yet, there is no contract, or credit check. I’m going to either get the enV Touch or Voyager, don’t know which one (any help/suggestions??) for however how ever how much. They only have smart phones listed and some cheap phones for right now, they are still adding. And the AT&T and Verizon plans are only $50 unlimited. And T-Mobile plans are $45 unlimited. So check that site out i previously told you and good luck!
No you can’t, Jessica. Verizon is CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM.
Definitely not an iphone killer. That is absolutely laughable. Coverage on ATT does suck, however, Wifi on a phone more than makes up for it for me. The Voyager has terrible call quality and the menus take forever to get through. It’s also very buggy and I had to reset it a few times within three days time. Bye verizon, anyone else frustrated that they push the EVDO service so hard that they dont let developers put wifi in phones. It’s a joke. Cost is so much cheaper too with ATT. Apple’s next phone will be 3G for those needing it.
It’s one of the best cell phone (touch screen) I’ve ever used… Feature wise, it’s probably missing a couple compare to the iphone, but overall, it’s a very stylish phone that can do a lot.
check out http://www.voyager-lg.com for more discussions about this phone.
I have been thinking about getting the voyager, actually i went in yesterday to buy it but is was sold out, now i am thinking again after reading these post. I have been a verizon customer for a long time and i know it’s a great network. but after all the troubles with the phone it doesn’t look like i’ll be buying anytime soon.
I think the Voyager is a great phone, but I have a few recommendations for improvement:
1 – It needs at least a 5 mp camera with a lens cover and/or an optical zoom.
2 – Get rid of the qwerty keyboard and make the whole phone 1/2 as thick as it is.
3 – Give the user the ability to ‘upgrade’ and/or ‘personalize’ phone with downloadable applications.
I love this phone! I tried buying it Saturday at 3 different stores but they were sold out. I ordered it online Saturday night and had it delivered and in my hands by Tuesday morning. Activation only took a minute or so and I used Backup Assistant to quickly restore all of my contacts and numbers. Now that I’ve used the phone 2 days, I am very happy with it. Of course it’s not perfect but it’s a great phone and I have no regrets. It surprisingly fits very well in my pocket. It’s a lot thinner than people think. The only real complaint is the whole unlocking thing. Sometimes the unlocking icon on the touch screen doesn’t work and I have to use the slider button on the side but who cares.. takes a second either way. I have found that texting on the touch screen one handed while driving isn’t that difficult to do either. I think the touch screen is very responsive and quick and call quality seems great to me. Everyone I’ve talked to is very loud and it has the best speakerphone of any phone I’ve owned. I subscribed to the VCast Pak for $15 a month for unlimited internet use and am able to watch all kinds of cool videos (news, sports, comedy, music and others). I haven’t used the internet browser a whole lot but it does work but remember, this is a phone, not a computer, so of course it’s not going to be the best but it gets the job done in most cases. I setup mobile email on it for my Road Runner account and configured the POP3 server and SMTP names and it works with no issues getting my email. The camera takes excellent pictures, although a bit slow due to focusing. I connected it to my computer with the included USB cable and used BitPim to add ringtones and pictures so that I could have new wallpapers. The included wallpapers aren’t that good and are only a few so I added several more with BitPim. This phone also has a text to speech feature that will speak your text messages out loud. So far the only thing that has even slightly annoyed me is the locking and unlocking of the phone. I put it in my pocket a lot and sometimes it comes unlocked and the buttons were being pressed accidentally but it wasn’t really a big deal to me. Someone else said you had to open the phone to turn it on or off and that’s wrong. There’s a power button right on the front. I’ve never touched an Iphone so I can’t compare but I will say that the Voyager is a great phone and I’m satisfied with it. Hope this helps some of you considering it.
Oh, one last thing.. the scrolling by touch works very well for me. The key is to touch in the middle of the screen and just move your finger up or down. Don’t try to scroll it with the scroll bar on the side.. stay in the middle and it works great.
THANK YOU! at least someone likes the voyager. i really want it, and i’m sad that almost everyone’s comments say that they are disappointed in it and regret getting it. COME ON people, it’s probably the best Verizon phone yet. *Voyager Rules*- i totally agree with you, people need to understand that it is a phone, not a computer, and that YES, it won’t be as fabulous. just be thankful technology is so advanced these days and be happy. i’m so excited to get it!!!!!!!!!!!! the online verizon store put it down to only $100. can’t wait!
whewie* i jus spilled nail polish remover on my phone last night. it was the samsung sway and let me tell you i do not recomend it or samsung phones. but anyways so i was looking today to see what i wanted and i had my eyes on the voyager. i used this site to see reviews. i dont understand how alot of people love it but alot of people dont. i was torn but i feel like im goin to stand on the side with the people who like it and im goin to get the phone tonight. :)
I have decided to get the Voyager. My friend has it, and he doesn’t complain about it at all. So is there two colors: Grey and Black? If so i want to get the Black one.
DO NOT text while driving you fool!!!! You should not be talking while driving either & I’m glad that more states are making those actions motor vehicle offenses. It’s not fun to have an accident & even less to be a pedestrian hit by a vehicle like I was. If you HAVE TO talk or text then pull over SAFELY FIRST & then do it. Most of the babbling that people do is crap anyway & definitely NOT a real emergency, but it easily becomes a life threatening one in short order when you crash. Grow up & be more responsible.
be nice, most people do it anyway! drive your anger towards people with DUI’s. you’ll get a lot more people on your side. but yeah, it’s dangerous to text and drive, but i don’t believe that it can cause accidents often. drunks and drugged people are worse.
I agree that people shouldn’t text while in the car. It does involve a lot of attention. However, not talking in the car? I find no difference talking on my cell phone while driving than talking to someone in the passenger seat. Pressing one button for speed dial takes the same amount of time as glancing at my radio button to my rear view mirror. Furthermore, even while driving alone, I always drive with one hand anyways. Holding the cell phone does not hinder my driving.
Textng while driving. STUPID and dangerous.
texting while driving is DANGEROUS. Driving with the phone to the ear is DANGEROUS.
Can’t tell me different. I am a victim of a serious car accident because the person driving wasn’t paying attention and I was badly hurt.
If you have to be on your phone, bluetooth ear bud works well. I don’t care how good a driver someone is. Both hands should be on the wheel.
What did we do before cell phones? we got along just fine. So, consider this: safety first. call 2nd
is the call that important to endanger your life while driving?
How is the GPS feature compared to Garmin NuVi 650’s?
hi! i like cheese and the iphone does compare well with the voyager (there like the same thing but the iphone has a stuiped ipod in it! and who even cares about it.)
I have had this phone since december 12th. I think this phone great. Only major problem I have had is the screens broke. I have not dropped this phone. I keep it a protective case in my laptop bag. I opened up the phone to text and the screen was cracked. The screen also had a black dot about the size of a dime. I was speaking on the phone and put it on my table. I picked it back up and the touch panel screen was broken, spiderwebbed?? Has anyone had this problem? I am pretty pissed off this has happened considering i have never treated this phone badly. I take extra care knowing the phone has the touch screen.
hii i just wanted ask do u know how to fix the black dot thing cause this just happend to a friend of mines today in study hall.
Call the company to send you a new phone.
Oh my gosh! That same thing happened to me. Only it happened to my enV. I didnt drop it or anything and somehow the screen just all turned black and cracked. :(
My son just got his Voyager for Christmas and the same thing happened to his phone. The inside screen is cracked and there is a spot about the size of a dime. Thank goodness that I have insurance on the phone because they say we caused the problem. I think not. I think that pushing on the outside touch screen cracked the inside screen.
that black dime thing? my friend had one on her env. she didnt drop it or anything. then she did drop it, she opened it up and the black dime spot was gone! im not telling you all to hum your phones at the ground or anything but give it a shake or somethin…..idk
Well wouldn’t pushing hard on the touch screen crack the inside screen? So that kinda means you did crack the screen. Don’t get me wrong, accidents happen. But on the Voyager you really don’t have to press really hard on the screen to press any button.
Dude.. my phone was broken like that too… I just kept it
and the next thing I know I have a huge crack in the inner
touch screen…. I’m really pissed because there are no
spare parts to fix it
the same exact thing happened to mine, but i took it into Verizon and they replaced it. I love my voyager, no other phone is able to compare to it in my book.
I have Centennial Wireless and Verizon and Cent. both use CDMA. If I was to purchase the Voyager, how do I get it unlocked?
I advise you to go to http://www.completemobile.us and you can buy the Voyager, and any other phone already unlocked. That is exactly what I’m going to do once I can. while you are there, you can buy a Verizon Service Plan for $50 and get unlimited.
After having the phone for awhile, I’m very dissappointed in it as well. Most of it’s functionality of interest requires you to open the clam shell. It’s tedious (much more so than the iPhone) to use the touch screen on front. Scrolling is hard.
The biggest dissappoint for me is the browser. It’s no where close to the full blown, Safari browser on the iPhone, but to add insult to injury, I like it less than the browser experience I had on my old, simpler LG phone.
I have to carry it in a rugged, snap on case to protect it. So the styling is lost in the clunky holders available, but in fairness, this is a common problem with virtually all phones, unless you want to just carry them unprotected in your pocket.
The GPS navigation is cool, but not worth the price of the phone to me.
If I could, I’d get my money back and go back to my previous phone, but it’s too late for that.
Hope everyone else enjoys their voyagers more than I have. Good luck.
If you dont like the Voyager or the IPhone try to get the Samsung u740. It is pretty good.
I tried the Voyager LG for a week and here were my impressions.The interface is nice and the full QWERTY keyboard is nice for typing. However, the web browsing was very poor – sluggish response and poor formatting of a web page. Could not get gmail mobile app to work as well. (Me or verizon?) I switched back to AT&T and got he Samnsung blackjack II. Nice phone and it supports the Opera mini browser (Too bad Verizon does not) which makes web browsing unbelieveably simple on a mobile device. Opera Mini rocks !
Now I’ve got a problem with mine.. something new, though. My phone locks up when typing and pressing the space key. Doesn’t matter if I’m using the touch screen or keyboard, if I press the space key, it locks up. I’ve had to send text messages using periods between each word since I couldn’t use an actual space. Verizon tried to fix it with a firmware update but no luck so they ordered me a new one which takes 2 business days.
We have the same problem. Whenever texting a msg in either the touchscreen mode or inside the phone using the keyboard, if the SPACE is hit after any other character, the LG Voyager freezes and locks up. We had to order a new phone. Anybody else have this problem??
WHY IS EVERY1 COMPLAINING ABOUT EMAIL AND INTERNET?! YOUR FONE ISNT FOR THE INTERNET!! THATS WAT A COMPUTERS FOR! OMG GET THAT THROUGH YOUR SKULLS PEOPLE!!! OF COURSE ITS NOT GOING TO BE AS FAST AS CABLE OR FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION ON YOUR COMPUTER, ITS JUST FOR EMERGENCY EMAIL OR QUICK INFO FINDING!! OMFG GET OVER THE BROWSER SPEED!!!!!
My review, which probably isn’t as intelligent as most is pretty simple.
This phone rocks. I have compared it hand to hand with an iPhone, and I will concede victory to either. The iPhone does things this one doesn’t, and this one does things the iPhone doesn’t.
I have been BEYOND satisfied with my Voyager. I don’t know what all the issues are about. If you’re looking to browse the web for a half hour at superspeed, buy a laptop. This phone is perfect for short term things (like checking my yahoo mail or getting a score at ESPN).
One thing I will note, this is NOT a smartphone. If you need Windows 6.0 or are looking to view/edit things like Word and Excel, this is not for you, it doesn’t do that. But for any other type of media, this is 15 bucks less a month for unlimited viewing/data and again, rocks.
I have had no issues, and it works flawlessly for me.
Oh, so it has a lock button. Big deal. Tell you what, turn on your bluetooth, make a call, then stick your phone in your pocket and deal with regular life. In your phone, shit happens because it gets touched; in my phone, I can play twister, hit a strip club, and dance the night away because hitting a button in my pocket won’t affect anything.
Sound quality is great.
Bluetooth quality is great.
Video and Pic quality is great.
So many features and functions that it is ridiculous. I literally have a 20 picture slideshow (of hot chicks) as my wallpaper (and a seperate 20 picture slideshow of hot chicks as my internal wallpaper).
Oh yeah, and TV.
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to degrade or undermine anyone in this thread that has problems. I’m sure the phone is not perfect. But I speak on a personal level, and personally, mine has kicked ass.
i really like my voyager! i came from being with t-mobile, having two generations of sidekicks, and a bunch of unlocked phones with billions of apps. i was afraid that if i switched to verizon i would be super limited, but i dont feel that way at all! i have lots of fun things to do on my phone, and it works great! no echo for me… only weird thing is i have to punch in a password everytime time i check my voice mail. but other than that, i likes me my voyager!
all verizon customers have to type in a password to hear their voicemail.
i was going to get my voyager today but couldn’t. after reading all these i am having second thoughts about getting the voyager. i have the env right now. does anybody have any other suggestions with phones that have qwerty keyboards and possibly a toucg screen
Just got the Voyager Thursday. Got another one today. If i was using an application on the external screen and switched to the inside to type or whatever, the phone would restart itself. At first i thought i was just pressing a button to turn on the VCAST icon on that you see when you turn your phone on.. but then i changed my settings to lock my phone when it powered up. Next tme i opened the phone and it did that the phone would lock. I though it might just be a fluke, picked up another one today, and it has started again.. anyone else having this problem?
i am not
hey can someone tell me how can i send videos longer than 30 seconds to my computer?
The Voyager has been both a boon and a bust for me. I like the phone itself: best clarity I’ve ever had in a phone, and for that reason alone I will keep it. If I were LG, I would improve the browser, which is both expensive on the verizon network and sucks, and the GPS system, which is also expensive on the network.
Basically, this is a pretty good phone slash music player, with the Verizon folks trying to nickle and dime you at every turn. They could have done a lot better, but somehow profit came before customer service…as always in the USA…
Everyone I know loves their Voyager…I have the enV and I want the Voyager really bad!! I was just wondering one thing though…how much bigger is the Voyager compared to the enV. Hopefully not too big! Thanks to whoever answers this!
the voyager is about the same size as the enV if not just a little bit bigger!
not too much bigger, in fact it might even be smaller. i just got the voyager and all my friends have the NV and its really about the same size
it is practiclly the same size, trust me!!!!!!!!!!!!
the new ENV2 is smaller I have this phone love it
been thinking about a touch screen phone but this env2 is an awesome phone
its thinner but a little longer. generally the same size though
the phone is ok but it needs a better lock because for some reason it calls people all the time when it is in my pocket
i just bought the voyager and im really really happy with it. i had an iphone for a while but then i realized, why do i need to combine my ipod, cell, and computer?? its just stupid and unnesesary, so i ditched the iphone (i sold it) and got this. its great, it seems a lot more responsive and faster, and the QWERTY keyboard is big and easy to type on. and, verizons service is 1000 times better then AT&T’s so u get that as a bonus. its rly a great fone and WAY better then the iphone. the switch from AT&T to verizon was awesome too, verizon gets all 5 bars in places at&t doesnt even get 1. w/e it may just be my opinion, but the voyager is hands down the best cell phone available out there.
I have had the voyager for about a month and ive returned it nearly 7 times.
The touch screen freezes all the time and so does the internal screen.
I would tell them you want another model phone.
if they replace the phone 3 times on the 4th they have to give you a different phone. I know….have sold cellular before
I have the phone as well. I was told by my fiance who was a cell phone salesman for another (bigger) phone company, that all phones need to be turned off daily anyway because of all the data it receives and sends. This helps with random freezing or sudden power loss. My Voyager freezes up, or at least goes a bit slower, but only after I have had it on all day and all night. Its just sensitive…
Plus, this phone you have to recalibrate about once a week. Typical in most touch screen phones.
The Lg Voyager is an excellant phone!!!!!! It has got to be the best phone in the world, it just has a slick clean look to it!!!!! The full QWERTY keypad is also nice, for the fact that the buttons are very widely spaced so that it is easier to type with. The touch screen also has a very nice size to it, wich I really like!!!!!!!!!!! So I incourage you to by one too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the voyager ROCKSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got my voyager a while back and i loved it at first the only thing is that after a while having to open it and use both hands to type a 3 word message kind of gets annoying also a lot of the time it is in my pocket in school and something will press against it and hit the overly sensitive power button and turn it off or it will hit the voice command button and even if it is on silent all of the sudden a voice will come from my pocket and freak everyone out and usually get me in trouble. Recently the only real problem i had was when me and my friends were playing soccer and i fell but not very hard and not even on the phone and went to txt someone and imagine my surprise when my phone was off, well i powered it up only to find a horrible spider web of cracks on the touchscreen but not the hard screen over the touchpad. Im beginning to think that maybe a touchscreen is a little to exposed. but overall its a great phone and having the qwerty totally kills the iphone if you text a lot like just about every one in the country does.
i love this phone. nd yeah dude yur ugly… get a life

i bought one in febuary or march, the first one after a month everytime i hit the space button would shut off. so i got my 2nd one which fell out of my pocket quad riding and it was closed when i found it but the inside screen was shattered and was bleeding that happened in june or so. then i got my 3rd one in july , in november it just wouldnt let me use the up key or anything, and 4 buttons wouldnt light up so i got one for free again, im on my 4th one. and i cannot go access music. or play it. i couldnt from the first day, i can purchase music. but i cant go to my music. i absolutely hate my phone. my memory card will delete pictures, when i transfer them from my phone to memory card, the not having a flash sucks. it shuts off. if im texting it will shut off sometimes. and the 4 second freeze before i get a texts sucks, i echo. the touch screen is the biggest pain in the butt. my battery i charge it every night from 9pm to about 8 in the morning at night the battery is about dead. oh and avoid any water like if its raining dont touch the inside key board it will go like a ghost is typing until it drys. on the upgraded black voyager for your shortcut menu you cant put a caculator on that. and if you save sent texts and delete the sent box. it will all mess up and save the last text you opened to solve that. you have to delete all your text except the locked ones and shut off and turn on your phone. i dont like this phone. we paid full retail price for it which was $350+ FOR A PEICE OF SHIT. dont buy it.
