The in depth review PS did on the EnV2 said it always pulled a strong voice signal. And did well in their vault test.

With the voyager you will probably get so-0. I live outside the grid and consistently my son's env2 has gotten stronger service than my voyager. It was also better than the Dare that I tried and took back.

Mobile Web is a portal really, a workaround to internet access. I was able to get it to work really well actually, but it's a bit more of a hassle. I just added Google to my Mobil Web favorites, then used Google to open webpages. The problem (and even PDA's aren't an exception on this)is that websites aren't always mobile browser friendly. Formatting can be screwy, making the page just a pain to try to read or navigate; also features can...

I have tried the Env2 and the Chocolate 3 but none of the others. I will say that the C3 has an incredibly acute RF receiver, especially for EVDO coverage. I would recommend the C3 but its not a keyboard phone.
