Nokia Communicator & Apple iPhone have kid: LG Voyager VX10000
We have read a lot about the new phone everyone is talking about (The LG Voyager), but I loved the view that Trusted Reviews had of the new phone.
They said that the LG Voyager (also known as the VX10000) is like the child of the Nokia Communicator and Apple iPhone, it takes some of the best features from both according to TR.
Surprisingly we have to agree that the VX10000 is a good hybrid of Mummy and Daddy, the impressive spec list steals some of the best features, the interface from the iPhone and the Qwerty keyboard and 3G connectivity from the Communicator.
Do you feel the LG Voyager has the best of both worlds, or is it just a copy cat?

Your ignorant if you think the voyager is a mix between the nokia communicator and iphone. If this phone was a mix of any two phones it would be of its predeccesor the EnV and the LG Prada. Both LG phones the EnV with the original fold out qwerty key pad and the Prada with the first cell phone touch screen.
This phone uis so mint i wish it was cheaper so i could get it
I LOVE IT
the interface from the iphone??? have you seen this phone, yea it has a nice little home screen, but the second you go to any applications, the interface becomes the exact same as any other verizon phone ever made. And as for the querty keyboard, all that it does is bulk up the phone. the only people who think that a touch screen querty keyboard is problematic are those who have only played with an iphone for a very short amount of time.
The LG Voyager is nothing more than an embodiment of verizons idea that if you throw feature after feature after feature into a phone, that some how the phone will be good. only when phone companies learn to take user experience into account, will they be able to compete with the iphone
I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to COMPARE this phone with the iPhone. The iPhone is intended to be a smartphone, the Voyager is NOT. The review sites calling it a smartphone are ignorant, this phone doesn’t have the included features that are required to make a phone a “smart” phone. It’s a VERY user friendly, VERY efficient media powerhouse. It’s a MUSIC phone, not a smartphone. And Sam, There is nothing at all wrong with the menu structure of the Voyager. Yes, it resembles Verizon’s common line by line menu structure but it’s very easy to navigate to get to the most commonly used applications. I haven’t had a single problem with any Verizon phone getting where I need to go, and if you’re going to complain because the menu system isn’t tricked out and pretty looking but is straightforward and userfriendly, you shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion.
The problem with the voyager is that instead of creating a new user interface that would allow the phone itself to live up to its full potential, verizon used the same basic software as it does on every other phone. And as for the user interface being “straightforward and userfriendly” there are many basic concept flaws in the verizon ui, the most prominent being sub menu after sub menu after sub menu. This means that if you want to access a certain feature of your phone, you may have to select one item from a menu of ten which leads to another menu of ten which you must select from. Please, Alijah, explain to me how this is user friendly and straightforward
i own the phone and the user interface is VERY easy to get along with. there are to 10 menus to ten more menus. everything is straight forward and simple. great phone period.
the i phone is actually a copy cat. it copied the lg prada with can’t be sold in the United States do to a law suit. after the prada came out, then the idea for the i phone was born. then LG made the voyager which is almost identical to the prade. so that way they could have a great phone to cell in the us and not have to worry about losing to may costomers to the AT&T.
i’m sorry but any UI that involves large quantities of sub menus does not appeal to me. And as for the iphone being a prada copycat, although the iphone was released in june, the iphone was announced in january, a full two months before the prada was. The iphone was announced at macworld 2007 last january where steve jobs displayed almost all of the iphones features. Apple filed patents for many of the iphones features years ago. Saying that the iphone copied the lg prada is completely ridiculous.
ok sam is freaking nutso and anyone else who sez the iphone is better than the voyager and that the voyager is a copy cat the lg prada came out first and was planned way b4 the iphone idea was started PLUS if anything the voyager is the son of the prada and enV with the enV cheating on the prada with the iphone so as u can see theres a nice mixture of genes in this phones gene pool VERIZON VOYAGER RULES!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE CHILL THE HELL OUT YES THE VOYAGER DID COME OUT AFTER THE I PHONE BUT LIKE PAIGE SAID THE I PHONE IS A COPYCAT OF THE PRADA AND IT WAS OUT MONTHS BEFORE THE PRADA JUST WAS NOT ELGIBLE FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES, SO WHILE APPLE WAS JOCKING THE IDEA FROM THE PRADA LG WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO NEXT AS FAR AS GETTING A PHONE REALEASED SIMILAR TO THE PRADA IN THE UNITED STATES, “IPHONES WACK” AND THE VOYAGER HAS LANDED
haaaai i need new phone
You people did not help me at all in my decision of buying this phone or another. Isn’t that the whole basis to a review board? I couldn’t care less about who copied who or when which phone was announced. All I am really concerned about is if the Voyager is a worthwhile purchase.
