Product Description

Combining an interactive touchscreen for easy navigation and a full QWERTY keyboard for fast communication, the groundbreaking LG Voyager offers a powerful mobile communication and entertainment platform. It features dual screens, with the exterior touchscreen offering VibeTouch technology for tactile feedback and a touch protection feature that prevents unwanted key actions. The Voyager gives you access to V CAST Video--Verizon Wireless' multimedia service with news, sports and entertainment video clips, 3D games and more--as well as V CAST Music, which offers access to more than 2.4 million songs that can be purchased and downloaded over-the-air. Other features include a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, MicroSD memory expansion, Bluetooth connectivity for headsets and stereo music streaming, multi-format digital music player, and optional GPS turn-by-turn navigation services. It operates on Verizon's 850/1900 CDMA frequencies, and offers fast connectivity through Verizon's EV-DO data network.

Verizon Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) With V Cast Mobile TV, this phone supports live TV broadcasts using MediaFLO technology to deliver full-length television programming from some of the most popular TV channels right to your phone. You'll be able to channel surf with no buffering, take calls without interrupting the program you're watching, and get text reminders for your favorite shows sent straight to your phone. Channel selection includes CBS Mobile, NBC News, Comedy Central, ESPN, Fox News, MTV, and Nickelodeon.

The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.



Featuring an interactive navigation touchscreen on the exterior, the LG Voyager opens to reveal a full QWERY keyboard.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with Verizon's V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played.

With the V Cast Video service, you can stream or download video clips to your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels, including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.

Verizon's Mobile eMail gives you access to your Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL accounts so you can read, write, and reply. Access your address book, receive e-mail alerts and more, right on your Verizon Wireless phone. Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Media Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Media Center service.

With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps. And Verizon's Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone, such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.



The interior of the Voyager also includes a second widescreen (non-touch) LCD.

The touch screen, even with the latest update is still clumsy, hard to scroll the contact list. As soon as my plan permits I'm going to the droid, or the iphone, if verizon has it by then. It's amazing to me that engineers at Verizon would go ahead and market something so bad.
LG Voyager is built to last!

Reviewer: Christie M. Finley,
OK, I'm not a Pro Reviewer and I'm just an average customer that has the LG Voyager. I like this phone! It is bulky and has some weight to it, but it only means that it built to last in my opinion. I think it takes OK pictures and I love the fact that you can crop and edit it. The touch screen works great with the right touch settings and I love that you can unlock it from the touch screen and on the switch on the left side of the phone. I also like that it only takes less than an hour for a full charge and that it will at least last for 2-3 days (depending of the amount of text messages you make). We all know that there are duds out there no matter what brand of cell phone you buy, but once the carrier gives one that has no defects you will sure be happy with the Voyager. Thanks for reading my review and I hope it helps someone that just wants a cell phone that will last. = )
Beware of this phone
 
Review Date: November 25, 2009
Reviewer: Jon Bach,
I bought this phone not quite 2 years ago and I'm on my second one. It's one of the worst cell phones I've ever owned. The first phone I had starting going bad literally days before the warranty expired. The touch screen functionality went out. Fortunately it was replaced for free. A few months later, the same problem occurred. I decided to just wait out my contract since it was almost up, but then the phone started going haywire. Now when I access voicemail (I have to open the flip to use the keypad) and close the phone to hear the message, the phone goes into an unlock position and continually presses the 6 button on the keypad. This means my voicemail password is always wrong and I have to open the phone up and re-do the password. The only way to listen to messages is via speakerphone with the flip open or to wait for the message to start playing and then close the phone and put it in locked mode. All the other features are great, but who cares! It's such a pain to use at this point that nothing else matters. What's worse is that I've become paranoid about other touch screen phones. Who has time for this kind of thing?
Horrible Phone

Reviewer: kasia frawley,
Shuts off all the time for no reason, magically fails to send text mssgs, ridiculous updates, the chrome peels almost immediatly, sound quality sucks, and if you carry it in a pocket or purse your touch screen subscribes you to all kinds of stuff. I can't wait to get a new phone.
Terrible phone!

Reviewer: Stephen J. Falkow, maryland
This is by far the worst phone I've ever had. Got it when I switched to verizon last year, and have regretted doing so. Here are the problems I've encountered:

1) Touch screen is almost useless for scrolling-it registers a selection when you try to scroll, even with the lightest touch.
2) Battery life is abysmal. When my phone needed recharging every day-without use!- I brought it to a verizon store since it was still under warranty. The tech said it was the phone, not the battery (shouldn't have trusted him). Verizon sent a replacement, a refurbished, dirty phone, and the problem was not solved. I'm now on my 3rd battery with same results.
3) For this poor quality, it's very expensive even with a new service contract.
The phone is basically useless; it powers down after one text or call. Get an iPhone instead.
