Why would ANYONE consider buying this when the XPERIA X1 is coming to AT&T? Why would anyone consider it when the Vu is on AT&T? I've used the Voyager... it's clumsy, its design - compared to the iPhone - looks like Windows 3.1 next to Windows XP. I just don't see the logic behind this.
Ive used the Voyager for about two weeks on my Verizon plan. The touch screen sucks on it. Compared to my iPhone, the touch screen is archaic. It is not as responsive, you have to press harder to get it to work, doesn't work if you use multiple fingers, and there is no way you can get typing using the on-screen keyboard like I can on iPhone. I got it because I thought it was going to be an iPhone killer. But it is apparent that those who say the touch screen is comparable to the iPhone has never used an iPhone. Who cares if it has haptic feedback with the screen sucks overall in comparison?
@ Numetheus - Such bitter hate. To bad that the touch screen technology is the same for the Apple iPhone and the LG Voyager. Both are Immersion Corp technology.
im new to engadget, so i appologize for posting out of order.
@Xeod : have you used the voyager and the iphone? i think not, because after using them both it is IMPOSSIBLE to think the screen technology is the same. for example, try to use a stylus on an iphone. if its a real iphone, you will get no reaction. the iphone screen is electrostatic and is NOT pressure sensetive. the screens are nothing alike. sorry to burst your bubble

Oh wait, that’s right! iPhone “would” have benefited from this technology.
