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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of features,, December 13, 2008

This review is from: Nokia 6650 Phone, Silver (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

At first I was a little disappointed with how many applications AT&T loaded this phone with, and how none of the keys could be modified from AT&T's preset application to run other apps of the users preference.

Then I loaded "Tracker" on my phone.

Now I have the Push-To-Talk button set to load my music player, the GPS button loads another program I downloaded - Google Maps (which I can use for free) instead of AT&T Navigator (which is a pay service), and the Media NET button can load the Bluetooth menu, or any other program I desire. This phone has lots of capabilities, especially since it runs the Symbian s60 operating system, which has hundreds of compatible programs.

The phone is solidly built, good for someone like me who works out in the elements. I haven't had any problems like those I had with the LG Shine I ended up returning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great phone but requires a lot of tweaking to get it to work, January 31, 2009

By 

ALB (MD, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 6650 Phone, Silver (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)

I've had this phone for one month now and my initial impressions right out of the box were very mixed. It looks nice and is pretty small but the at&t branding made the phone nearly unusable without a fair amount of tweaking and customization. For example, as a previous reviewer mentioned, there is a keypad button right in the middle of the keypad that launches the telenav service and because of the size of the buttons, I was very often hitting that button when intending to press the down button. As you can imagine, this was very frustrating. Fortunately, there is a lot of software available for this phone and allows you to customize things pretty nicely (without the Magickey app which allowed me to disable the telenav button I certainly would have returned this phone). But it took a good amount of internet searching to figure out how to get the phone setup in a way that worked for me.

Overall, this phone is a fairly powerful smartphone which works really well and has lots of great functions. Google maps works very well with the GPS, you can store lots of pictures and music on a memory card, the call quality is great, and I'm pretty happy with the music player too. So, if you're willing to put in some time to get the phone customized to your liking than you will be more than satisfied with it. If you want a phone that works nicely right out of the box and don't have time to mess with it, look for another phone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great phone, January 29, 2009

By 

Andrew Philip (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LG Voyager VX10000 Phone, Titanium (Verizon Wireless) (Wireless Phone)

I like this phone. The touch screen is fairly responsive. The touch screen works off of pressure unlike the iphone which operates off of heat. The iphone is more responsive in comparison.

The voyagers speaker phone is loud and very clear. The ringer is kind of distorted at loud volumes when using MP3's as ringtones. The camera takes a pretty good picture - although there is no flash. The LCD screen is at a very high resolution and very clear - although there is no brightness control on the phone. The phone has bluetooth which is as responsive as it should be, I had no problem pairing it with my car.

I have heard of people complaining about the shiny outer edge peeling. I have had my phone for months with no case, and I just leave it in my pocket when I'm out and about. The phone has no nicks or scratches and the shiny outer edge is still perfectly in tact.

Overall the phone is great.
