Also, does the I phone have tv capability?
Memory card slot for expandable memory?
Television?
What about vibration feedback on the touch screen?

no tv on that crappy iphone, or vib feedvback


Medio FLO!!

iphone also does not allow you to use your own ringtones, have to go through itunes, the voyager should allow mms ringtones to be used. Also the iphone's bluetooth is restricted. The voyager(as of most newer lg models) will allow picture, phonebook, stereo, video and music transfer through your bluetooth.

2 displays! full keyboard! high speed data!
Man i was waiting for the I760 because of the full keyboard and wifi, but $15 dollar for vcast pack is very doable if full html is available. Plus 2megapixel camera and at leaste one hour of video recording!

I am so excited I can't waite

How did we miss the high speed data and the keyboard...and the two displays!!! Our CMO is correct in saying this will kill the iphone. But I don't think people who paid all that money for it are going to switch though...does anyone else?

whats a cool phone if the network sucks? A lot of people are already regretting their decision, maybe this will entice them back.

but no wifi for the lg ☹️

though you can probably add to your list gps which the iphone is missing.

you mean verizon is not crippling this phone?

lg has had more and more profiles added over the past year or so? YOu can transfer photos, music, phonebook, you get stereo bluetooth, can send name cards, printing. The only thing that is really restricted is sending ringtones through bluetooth which can be worked around sending them through mms. Or I just bluetoth them to my sounds folder then text them to myself.

How much is the pricing for the iphone data???
"

Does this question from you mean that the Voyager's data price will be lower than the Iphone's? Iphone's starts at $20/month for unlimited data and 200 text messaging. So to be lower would be $19.99/month or less. I'm already paying $25/month for vcast and vcast tv. And on the price plan that includes vz nav and unlimited messaging.

If you are on the premium plan the then VCAST should be included. You should only be paying extra for the TV service. It sounds like you are describing the premium plan.

Regarding the data plan pricing, I believe that everyone will be pleasantly suprised with the ultra competitive pricing.

Cool. What about the price of the phone itself? The Iphone's retail price is $399.99, from what was described earlier, would verizon actually sale this phone for the same price even with a discount? 😲 If so, that won't be a good thing. That would make the retail price of the Voyager, more expensive than the retail price of the Iphone(399.99)

That's an interesting point that you bring up. Let's see what rebates are offered, not sure if those were included in the pricing. I'd be perfectly happy paying about 250-300 for this phone. Above that, I'd be a little nervous. But then I would fork over the cash 😛

Yeah, $249.99 with rebates, I'd do. $299.99 with rebates, maybe. Anything more, more than likely never. At a price higher than $299.99, I'd rather get a full pda. Lower than $299.99, will allow for more sales.

1 more...no restocking fee if you are not satisfied with the product.

actually two more...you also have America's Best most reliable network.

Anyone notice the lack of att and their "fewest dropped calls"? Its because they are no longer allowed to advertise that.

Now they are tauting they spent 23 billion on their network in the past 7 years...

VZW? 47 billion...

Which do you want? 23 billion spent, or 47 billion?

Oh, and you also have award winning customer service, which will likely garner more awards by rethinking the contract extension idea.

How good does the iPhone sound now?

Don't forget, this phone will allow you to send a PICTURE message, not just pictures as email attachments.

lame? LOL. ok. The only thing bad you can say is that it isn't rev A. capable. Then you must really hate the iPhone which doesn't even come near rev 0 speeds...

Exactly. I would have loved to see REV A. It seems as if that is reserved for PC Cards for right now. The broswer will be find with Rev 0.

With the processing power of a cell phone, would you see a significant difference? With downloading attachments, maybe. But that is PDA's...

I am not a programmer, so I don't know.

Who said anything about the iPhone?

This is supposed to be a flagship phone. Why give it yesterday's technology?

Rev A? What do you need Rev A on this Cellphone for? Reduced latency? Increased Upload speeds?? PTT???? You won't even notice the difference.

Faster speed is faster speed. Look at the iPhone, for example. Everyone thought it was amazing at first, then the Prada started to leak out a little bit and people were less and less impressed with the iPhone. I actually had a customer bring up the Prada the other day in my store which tells me that many more people know about it than I previously thought.

Tie in that logic to this phone. The flaws are what people will gripe about. If someone finds out that it's Rev 0 instead of Rev A, they will talk about how it's behind in technology...just like people did with iPhone being on the Edge network instead of 3g. Different speeds, same principle.

Customers like to bitch about buzzwords and the "latest greatest thing" that their tech...

I don't really think that these are cons...

Well... it all depends if you're a Apple or WinMo Fanboy. I sure there are people out there will be like it doesn't work well with my MAC or any other product Steve "Blow" Jobs makes and the WinMo people will complain that they cannot Active Sync their Calender or whatever.

I hate Apple and Microsoft equally. I think it's probably better that it's LGs/Verizon's software.

Samsung is rumored for a 3.0 camera phone. but the 990 was too pricy anyway, just to get a higher resolution camera...

Considering competitors have up to 5 megapixel cameras, it would have been a good idea to give this something more.

You can text on your phone by feeling the buttons. You won't be able to do that with the Voyager unless you have it open. I guess I'm just not that interested in it. I played with an iPhone (which is similar in principle), and I wasn't all that impressed with that one either.

But it does have the vibration feedback...

How do you know if you're hitting the right key?

The 9900 has a good camera. The Voyager camera will be good also. I'm just disappointed they didn't take the initiative to do it. Like I said, it seems like they're responding to the iPhone instead of bumping up the features they could have.
