 It was AWESOME... when I first bought it July 24, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Alright I've had this phone for about 6 months now, and while at first I absolutely loved it - the infatuation is slowly starting to wear off and now a lot of the great features are just annoyances. First off, the phone is in no way a 'iphone killer' and lacks a lot of the capabilities of an iphone (the new apps 2.0 feature on the iphone completely blows away the voyager). But here are some of the pros:
Pros:
Texting is a breeze with the full QWERTY keyboard
Internal Speakers are very nice
Pretty Good Battery Life
Looks Great (when new)
Cons:
THE SCREEN SCRATCHES very easily. Mine has a very obvious scratch in it, and my friend's voyager has a very big permanent scratch and many small scratches
Touch Screen is not nearly as friendly as itouch or iphone
Web Browsing is very slow and difficult to navigate (Trying to scroll down on a webpage with the touch side you can easily accidentally click a link to another page)
BULKY -especially if you get it with a case (which you'll probably need), not very slim at all
Camera Lighting is horrible - no flash, my friend's razor took better indoor pictures than mine without a flash
Camera is very hard to take a self-portrait of 2 people with (always a blur)
It is very easy to make mistakes on touch screen side when dialing numbers or texting even after calibrating
Mobile TV doesn't seem to work ANYWHERE
You have to pay 2.99 to use GPS each time, or 9.99 a month
The Lock feature is such a HASSLE, for instance if i want to quickly silence my phone i have to try and find the sliding switch on the side, silence it, and push down HARD on it again - not as simple as just hitting a button on the iphone or closing the lid
Expensive
So sure, if is great right off the bat. It looks nice and seems to have tons of features. But once you realize, TV doesnt work, web-browsing sucks, and the GPS is too expensive to ever use - it's just a regular cell. A cell phone that looks nice - but in a few months will look pretty horrible with all the scratches and dinks in it. Or you can get a case, which just makes it even bulkier. I would recommend getting the cheaper alternative LG env2 which basically cuts out all the problems I just mentioned, while keeping the pros. Or you can really reward yourself and get the new 3g iphone. Just don't make the same mistake I did and buy this phone solely on looks.
Really Enjoy this Phone July 16, 2008
I bought this phone a few days ago through verizon for a great price. I love the touch screen, texting, the mobile tv and the web. It has a lot of capabilites on it that are really neat. The tv works great although there are only about eight channels (and I hear it only works in certain areas). There is not autofill on the texting but that is ok since there is a full keyboard so I don't really need that.
The only reason why I don't give five stars is because sometimes when I am talking on the phone I hear my own echo. I tried turning the volume down and that seems to have helped some.
 My first step into multimedia heaven July 13, 2008
The Voyager is my first multimedia/uber phone and I have to say that I've been missing out. Its not an iPhone and thats exactly what I need. I'm not as technologically integrated as some folks and the Voyager doesn't make me feel bad about that. So far this little baby hasn't let me down; internet browsing works flawlessly, the touchscreen is right there with my every move and as a unit the phone hasn't had a single hiccup.
NOT a PDA, just an awesome phone! July 9, 2008

I have had the Voyager for two days and I can tell you this is a PHONE, not a PDA. I wanted a PDA phone, but I will stick with my palm as a PDA. All the PDA phones have too small of a keyboard for my big fingers. Another thing I have found with this phone is that it is too heavy. At the same time, I like have dual screens. Otherwise, it is a great PHONE. If you want to email and text, then get this phone. If you want a true PDA, get the PALM Centro.
Great Overall Phone June 24, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Voyager is an overall great product. I have had it for over 5 months and I have not had very many problems. But be careful this is not a PDA this is a phone. The internet and email is great but it does not have all the capabilities of a PDA. The touch screen is extremely tough, I have dropped in many times. I would suggest getting screen protectors which are 9.99$ and it is completely worth it. The battery is not the best, you have to charge it every night but besides that it is a great phone.
