Discovering the LG Voyager

The announcement of the LG Voyager coming to Verizon was a huge deal for me! I like the iPhone (a lot!), but I’m not willing to be locked into AT&T and pay that much money for a plan, when I only want to use the data service. I’m currently with Verizon. Nevertheless, I purchased the Sidekick LX last week when it was released thinking it would quench my thirst for a new toy. I returned it two days ago. It wasn’t worth the money (I paid 366$ and some change) and it didn’t compare to my Motorola Q. I love my Q and it satisfies a lot of my mobile needs, but I’m a gadget geek and having the Q this long is irritating me for some odd reason. I usually switch phones at least 3 times a year because I want the latest and/or greatest. Preferably the greatest and the Sidekick LX was not that! In December, I’ll have had my Q for an entire year, and it’s the only phone I’ve had for more than 4 months in my entire life. Can’t get the iPhone, don’t want the LX. What’s a woman to do?!
It seems LG has solved that problem for me by releasing the Voyager and on my network! Awesomesauce! So far, I’m loving the specs, though I’m really interested in finding out if I can transfer music and photo files via Bluetooth. I wish it had a flash for the camera too, but other than that I couldn’t really complain after looking at the specs sheet. Hopefully the call quality will be superb. I can’t wait until the reviews start rolling in. Definitely saving my money for this one and they better not pull a iPhone & AT&T shenanigan on customers either!
LOVED IT? SHARE IT!:
If you want an iPhone that isn’t network- and software-locked to AT&T, you can always check out HoFo (Howard Forums). I remember the eBay seller I got my joystick cap from is from there (’cause that’s where I saw his post on them), and he was selling software-unlocked iPhones. Just letting you know. ;P
That phone sounds amazing! I’m glad you’ve found a model that’s available to you and comparable to the iPhone. :D If I had the money, I’d buy the SEW960. And maybe the SEK850. ;) Yeah, I’m pretty huge on the SE. XD
Checked out the SE’s. They are awesomesauce! I love the way they’re built. SE usually builds some really good phones. I like them. I remember when I pined for the SEW600i! I was so inlove with that phone.
I think I may purchase one of these also!
Hee, I heart SEs. Ever since I got the T610 back during sophomore year of hs, I’ve never gone back to Nokia (which is the only other phone manufacturer I’ve previously used). I also find that I prefer the features and the design of SE phones more now. I guess it’s some result of all my lurking over at the SE forums at HoFo, lol.
But !!!! If you ever get tired of any one of them (you know, if you do decide to get one of them), send it my way!! Hahahahaha. XD I was seriously considering waiting for the W960 to get released (I have the K800), but then I figured it was probably going to be in the $800 or so price range, soooo… not really going to happen. XD
Seems like LG is really making Nokia sweat.
Yes, I do feel they're trying to lock people into At&T. I'm not a fan of the company.
i'm more of a LG fan than nokia..
