Lg Voyager...

really? people have given both positive and negative responses .this probably isn't the place to discuss alternatives to the iphone.
I think you are fine. The iPhone isn't the end-all of all other phones...and it is good to discuss possible competitors. Otherwise, these forums would just be full of people discussing the problems they have instead of how much they love their iphone, how the iphone is better than competitors, and legitimate discussions about all aspects of the market.
I hate to burst your bubble, but the Voyager is nothing more than a touch-screen enV (LG 9900, which I currently have). It's going to carry VZW's crappy UI, won't display HTML websites, and you won't be able to listen to mp3's while doing anything else on the phone. For what it is, it's a decent phone, but it's not in the same league as the iPhone. Hell, they are not even playing the same game. The iPhone's web browser is the best on any phone, and the real key to the iPhone's success lies in the OS. Did I mention it's also an iPod that you can use while you do other things on the phone, like surf the web?

Have you even typed on an iPhone?
I've typed papers on my iPhone during class and email them to my teachers.
Lol!! Me Too!!!! my iphone saved my ass a number of times from a big 0 on my papers
Haha, do you just type them in notes? I should do that. You really can get really fast on the iPhone, and especially when its in landscape. Beauitful.
Yeah, it's common sense but you'd be surprised how many people don't think of doing it
It's great.Yep. I really wish notes would come in landscape to make it a little faster. Only problem i have is once i get going i sometimes tend to make a mistake in spelling.
Guess we will have to wait till February for a Word document on our iPhones

I cant wait for that. It is gunna be soooo usefull!!
Indeed. Like an Archive of your papers, and they can easily be sent via email or downloaded onto a computer.
Or put papers from your computer on to the iPhone, and continue working on the go.
On a similar note, i cant wait till google docs allows you to write papers and not just view ones you already have up.

One example of how ridiculous this "iphone competitor " is. Someone thought it would be a brilliant idea to let SMS use a regular cell phone keypad.
Thats right. T9 texting on a touch screen for sms. Does that make any sense - they had the option to use a touch screen qwerty layout (they developed one and use it for website entry) but instead they left the user with t9. (you tap out the words spelling them by the letters written on a 10 digit phone pad)
Do you really want a company that would make this decision to design the rest of your cell phone's OS?
I sure wouldn't trust them with anything after that blunder.

Reminder, he doesn't mention the countless things it doesn't do compared to the iPhone.

The fact that he takes the time to call it a perhaps iPhone killer is all you need to hear.
People don't dub things "X-killers" when that product is better. You'd just be better and everyone would want your product instead, and no one would care if the iPhone existed.
Just like I don't care the Voyager or the Flip or whatever that POS is called.
i have the iphone and i tried the voyager for the heck of it and well comparing touch technology iphone wins well in my opinion. But hey if you like it get it nobody is stopping you
Reviews of the Voyager

I had a chance to play with the Voyager ( I own an iPhone ) and it feels very cheap and just, bleh, too many buttons, not intuitive.
I can understand if you're stuck on a Verizon contract and you need a new phone to tide you over, this is a decent choice over the other phones they offer currently.
I'm so glad I got out of my Verizon contract and got my iPhone / ATT, it has changed the way I do business

well i ended up with the Rizr Z6TV out of all phones. I love it. even though it is a motorola it is very well built. I would have bought a iphone in a instant if we were on AT&T. I just thought that the voyager was sortof "crap" after using it, thats why i ddn't buy it.

IMPRESSIONS: Is that plastic?!....My thumb keeps pressing the buttons on the side of the phone, errrr!!!!...HOLY buttons Batman, I'll pass.
I'll stick with my beautiful true touch screen, aluminum and glass, simple and stylish piece of art from Apple
iTeen, I like the phone you chose better then the Voyager, looks nice, ENJOY!

LG Voyager vs. iPhone
Of course, I'm a little late, but there's C|Net's iPhone vs. Voyager prizefight:
Apple iPhone vs. LG Voyager
and the comments from it are solid gold (and I mean that in the nicest possible way!):
C|Net Forums
The Voyager doesn't do iSync; I guess that BitPIM lets you sync the Voyager with the Mac, but not with iCal and Address Book. Apparently, Bluetooh OBEX works for pictures and music, but not for contacts! WTF?!
Since you went MotoRizr, might I suggest checking out this thread at Howard Forums? You might be able to get iSync to work too!
