Played with Voyager, Venus, and u900

The Voyager is alright. I'm not sure why it's getting glowing recommendations from everyone here. The touch-pad is pressure sensitive, not heat sensitive, which is a good thing. The only downside to that is that you actually have to press the screen instead of just touch it. It took a minute to get used to pushing down on the screen, but it was easy to use after a minute or two. There were a lot of similarities to the iPhone as far as the scrolling menus and that sort of thing. In the contacts, for example, you can flip your finger along the screen, and it will scroll through the contacts really fast. I wasn't impressed with the HTML browser. Instead of having a shortcut key that takes you right to the internet browser, you have to g...

Thanks for the reviews...but I'll still go with the Voyager..I played with it myself and I actually really liked it. I guess it depends on personal preference. For instance, I played with the Pearl and i760, both pretty good phones but I wasn't impressed with them as much as I am with the Voyager. but the pearl is pretty nice, especially the track ball but that suretype keypad I could never get used to. and the i760 left me with a headache, just too much of a phone for me. but thanks for the review, I guess everyone will have different opinions depending on their likes and dislikes.

I didn't get a chance to mess with the TV. The internet is slower than I thought it would be.

Yeah, it worked pretty well overall. The internet is not as good as I was expecting it to be. It was actually kind of a let down from all the hype the phone has been getting.

Don't be a troll and say, "You're wrong!" I posted my experience with the Voyager. If you think I've been misleading somehow, feel free to correct me. Chipping in and saying, "Nu uh!" doesn't do any good for anyone.

Oh, and by the way...you're wrong.

Hey rob, did you get a chance to find out if you can multi-task with the Voyager? I've had 3 people tell me you could and 3 people tell me you couldn't and that's the only factor between me getting it or the Venus.

No, there's no multitasking. The Venus has multitasking though.

Hey Rob how does the 900 compare to the Gleam? right now I'm presently debating between the Gleam and the venus...but if the 900 is worth it I'll wait. Is the 900 much thicker than the gleam? Thanks mang.

The 900 is thicker than the Gleam, but it's not as tall. It's similar in size to the a990, but it feels sturdier.

I'm sold on the u900. I think it's a great phone. I don't like the Gleam much. Once that shiny paint starts to chip off, it will look like crap.

I really liked the Venus.

The u900 was awesome.


No. I wouldn't say they suck. I don't think the Voyager really lived up to the hype, but some people may love it. Personal opinion really.

There hasn't been a device like the voyager. It will more than live up to the hype.

It didn't live up to the hype for me. Have you played with one?

Weird how eraser got 'they suck' out of the words 'alright', 'really liked', and 'awesome', but that's been his pattern... drinking the haterade on VZW, always and forever.

Tsk. Sad. ☹️
