Quick start guide offers sneak preview of the LG Voyager

by Michael Caputo, posted Nov 1st 2007 at 9:09PM

For some of us, the LG Voyager could be the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel that Verizon customers have been hoping for. Stacked to the gills with features like EV-DO, VCAST TV, a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus, expandable memory via a microSD slot, an exterior display which touchsrceen capability and another interior display that reveals a full QWERTY keypad, it's certainly designed to please almost anyone. Even though some of the features appear a little quirky -- like only being able to rotate the phone clockwise while snapping pics -- we're sure that you'll find great info in the quick start guide while you wait ever so patiently for its release.

The Verizon OS on this doesn't look bad actually.

Jordon - not a silly question, important one actually. The 10th picture in the gallery is a snapshot of the instructions for acessing the web with the Voyager. The instructions tell you to use the virtual keyboard - which usually means a touch screen keyboard, but I could be wrong. A stylus would be nice touch and would confirm that there was a vitual keyboard.

no. it has a qwerty that pops up but only to enter web addresses. if you desire to text from the front screen, you'll need to use t9. though i don't know why you'd want to text from the front, as you've got a full tactile qwerty keyboard inside.

The placing of the space key seems really ill-advised, especially for users migrating from other QWERTY devices.

the space keys are like that on the enV as well.

It is because of this that I won't buy the enV or the Voyager. I want my damn QWERTY keyboard to have its keys in the right spots!

where should the space bar be? between the V and the B? Obviously LG doesn't want to make it longer on the bottom or make the keys smaller so it has to fit it in somewhere other than on the normal keyboard. its not a terrible choice, but a necessary one for sure.

i converted from a u740 to the env, haven't had any issues with texting. Change is frightening, isn't it?

Looks like a great phone to me. Almost like a pda lite :)

Can anyone answer these five questions?

1. Phone service + EVDO + Mobile TV = how much per month?

2. Is Mobile TV "Real" TV? Or is it the crap Sprint says is TV?

3. What are the battery life estimates?

4. Can i put my own music and ring tones on it or am i forced to buy Verizon's?

5. Release date?

Neutral

1. for $25 you can get evdo and tv. voice plans start out at $40.

2. I can't speak for sprint but all the reviews i've read of vcast mobile tv have said it's really good.

3. 240 minutes talk/480 hours standby

4. normally you'd have to use the memory card to transfer music/tones/pictures from your phone to your computer. but this phones coming with a usb cable so i'd bet it would be a little more iphone-esque meaning you could easily move things around. but yeah even if you cant, you can still use the memory card to move data.

5. pre-order november 8, launch november 21

Yes V-Cast Mobile TV is real TV.
30 Frames Per Second; 320x240 resolution
8 Channels
ESPN
NBC NEWS
CBS
Comedy Central
MTV
NBC
Nickelodeon
FOX
All channels show EXACTLY what you see on regular TV at "Prime Time" (8pm-ish to 10pm-ish) commercials and all. Then they show reruns of popular shows throught the day.
Sprint TV is not TV, just streaming video, same as orginal V-cast that came out 2 years ago.
