Pathetic Excuse for a Cellular Phone
by Nathan on Oct 23rd, 2009 at 12:19 PM:
This phone, honestly, I can say, has had poor sound quality, poor battery life, and poor performance. I've had two devices, both broke because I couldn't hear the other line, and had to get another one. Nothing worked when trying to repair it. This phone is not worth your time, especially with Verizon. They won't help, they send you a "refurbished" not brand new phone, and even when they do, it's not like it's going to last more than 6 months, which is how long both of my Voyagers lasted. This phone is not worth your time, money, or effort to replace. I wouldn't suggest the LG Voyager.
I'd definitely go another way

After 2 years with this model and my second unit, I can conclusively say I would definitely go with a different model. The external touch pad is very imprecise and has all kinds of quirks. The vibration alert is weak at best. The battery is also very lack-luster. My previous phone was the vX9800, which had half the screen, but twice as much battery. The Voyager battery lasts for maybe 3-4hrs of use. The larger screens (which are great) just suck too much juice. I would have definitely sacrificed some pocket room for a properly matched battery. The full QWERTY board is awesome. Sound quality is descent, but could also be improved. Lastly, it's probably a Verizon thing...but every time I use any of the data tools, it seems like I have to upgrade them again...sometimes more than once per week. I'm either going with the ENV3, or an HTC phone next time.
Best Phone Ever

The Voyager is the perfect phone for any age. I love it! Buy now!!
Worked great for a few days...

It worked great for a few days, then the external display stopped working (went blank). The verizon customer service is really hard to deal with.
The web access is too slow to be taken seriously. External touch pad needs to be more precise. The internal full-keyboard is very nice and responsive, so is the battery life. No complaints about the sound quality, either.

Not Worth the $

First thing. It's not very durable. Yes, they aren't supposed to withstand an elephant stomping it, but I dropped it and the hinge broke. No fun. Rather than pay the insurance, I just bought a new phone.
The touch screen. My husband's phone started acting wonky and wouldn't respond to touch. He tried to re-calibrate a few times to no avail. Verizon was really easy to deal with in having it replaced. He got a "new" one. The touch screen wouldn't work the first day he had the "new" replacement. He now has bought an entirely different phone rather than deal with getting a "new" replacement again.
The size isn't too bad, but I feel it's kind of clunky in comparison to most other phones. Even the Blackberry is thinner and shorter (but slightly wider) than the Voyager.
The internet left a lot to be desired. I don't expect the lightning fast speed of the internet we have at home, but I do expect it to be a little faster than how the Voyager handled it. I did like the built in email checker and the mobile IM options, though.
Sound quality. I thought for awhile that the sound quality (or lack thereof) was due to my own hearing problems. However, after using my new phone I know it was the Voyager, and my husband's phone also had the same issue. I didn't use it to listen to music or anything, so I can't say how it sounded for that purpose.
All in all, I would say - nice try, LG, in trying to match with the iPod, but I think this was an epic failure on their part. Go with a different phone that will last longer.
