LG Voyager Is A Disappointment

…when compared to the iPhone.

Verizon’s Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman touted it as an "iPhone killer", and with that statement the Voyager falls on it’s own sword! So many inconsistencies, mediocre camera and sounds, and a frustrating touch interface! My God, it doesn’t compare to the iPhone…not even a little bit! I was so frustrated and disappointed when I tried it out in Circuit City yesterday. The most frustrating part for me had to be the responsiveness of the touch interface. What did I compare it to? Not the iPhone, but the iPod Touch that was on display in the store. Even with the smallest touch the iPod Touch was speedy and very responsive! It was almost perfect. I can’t say the same at all for the Voyager. At one point, it took me 7 tries to get the scroll to work through the touch interface…actually I never got it to work so I exited the application I happened to be in at the time. Excruciating and tedious. Eventually, I moved on to find the Zune 80…

iPhone killer? I highly doubt it. Honestly! But it may gain some share by being cheaper than the iPhone for new customers of VZW.
