Verzion unveils rival to I-Phone

[Pflugerville Ag]

Not much info on this yet, but Verizon is coming out with a pretty cool sounding phone that "will kill the iPhone." Looks pretty cool. If it has the capability to easily connect to my work server for my business email, I might get one.

The Voyager, made by LG Electronics, trumps the iPhone by offering faster wireless Web access. But in a nod to the Apple device, which is only available to AT&T Inc subscribers, it has a large touch screen and full Web browser.

Verizon Wireless hopes the new phone will attract customers put off by the iPhone's lack of a traditional keypad -- the Voyager hinges open to reveal a small computer keypad and a second screen.

LG VX10000 Voyager: The Voyager is a messaging device derived from the enV, but features a large touch screen and new user interface on the front. The touch screen provides haptic feedback and has revised menus to access the phone's many features. Like the enV, it opens sideways to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, large interior screen, and stereo speakers. It has EV-DO data, a full HTML browser with minimap, stereo Bluetooth, a 2 Megapixel camera, and a microSD slot that supports cards up to 8GB. It is also compatible with Verizon's V CAST Mobile TV service.</B>

i've never liked the idea of LG's phone flipping like that. If they slid it would be better.

Before I got my Treo, I tried a phone at Verizon that slid instead of flipped open and I hated it. Anytime the phone was in my pocket (when I wasn't in my work attire), the phone would halfway slide open and turn on. I kept that phone for less than 24 hours and got the Treo instead.

I have the Q right now, and surprisingly have not had any problems with it. kinda wish it could break so i can get a black one. :(

the at&t 8925 set to be released soon, i heard, is an awesome phone. it also slides and tilts.
