Wi-Fi is an obvious and disappointing omission, but the Voyager offers many things the iPhone lacks, including 3G support, multimedia messaging, stereo Bluetooth, and an integrated GPS application. To find accessories for this phone, see our cell phone ringtones and accessories guide. Gone are the exterior keypad and tiny external display; instead you're greeted by a vibrant touch screen that dominates the front face of the Voyager.
As you'd expect from a messaging phone, the Voyager is rather bulky. Though the change from the VX is noticeable, the Voyager manages to pack its keyboard as well as a long list of features into a trim profile that's a quarter of an inch trimmer than its forerunner's. And at 4. The result is an eye-catching and slick design that is far more stylish than both the previous LG handsets.
It also has a solid feel in the hand and the hinge construction is sturdy. The touch screen measures 2. With sharp colors, graphics, and animation, it's a massive improvement over the tiny and ineffective displays on the VX and the enV. And instead of supporting only certain features, you can use the touch screen to access almost all of the Voyager's offerings. In standby mode, the display shows the date, the time, battery life, signal strength, and photo caller ID.
It also works as a viewfinder for the camera when the phone is open. You can change the backlight time, the menu font style, and the dialing font size. To get started using the Voyager, just move your finger to the four controls at the bottom the bottom of the display if the display is frozen, there's an onscreen unlock control.
From left to right, the buttons open the messaging menu, activate the onscreen dialpad for making calls, access the main menu, and open your contacts list. Alternatively, you can activate a shortcuts menu by tapping the top part of the display. On the whole, we were pleased with our navigation experience. Selecting an option requires a firm touch, so we didn't have many problems with pressing a command accidentally. If you're having trouble, you can reset the screen's calibration but it's too bad you can't alter the touch sensitivity as well.
While it lacks the iPhone's multitouch functionality, and it's resolution isn't quite as crisp, the Voyager's display counters with a nifty and useful offering of its own. Like the Chocolate VX , the Voyager features tactile feedback on its touch controls. You can adjust the length and intensity of the vibrating feedback, which is a nice feature.
Beyond simple tapping, you also can manipulate the Voyager by holding your finger to the screen and moving it around. Using this method, you can scroll through long menus and move around a Web page, but we had to practice a few times before we mastered either task. For example, when scrolling through the main menu pages, we had to be careful not to select one of the options accidentally, which we did a few times.
We got the hang of it eventually, but even then it felt a tad awkward. In the V Cast menus, you can use the right-hand scroll bar as a more user-friendly alternative, but in other places that option is not available. Is it too much too ask for a little consistency?
The Voyager also has inconsistent methods for entering text on the touch screen. When typing a text message, we could use only the standard nine-digit keypad. Yes, we realize that there's a keyboard inside for your messaging needs, but the external display does support a full QWERTY keyboard for typing URLs while surfing the Web among other things.
Yet we liked that, in either case, the onscreen keys are large enough to avoid mistakes during fast typing. And it goes without saying that the tactile feedback marks a big improvement over the iPhone. When the display is in standby mode, the Clear key also activates the voice-dialing function with a short press and starts the voice recorder with a long press.
Though those shortcuts are useful, it was a bit annoying to press the button accidentally and hear "Please say a command. The charger port sits on the bottom of the phone next to an antenna that extends for V Cast Mobile TV broadcasts. The camera lens sits on the back of the phone, though it's disappointing that LG removed both the lens cover and the flash.
Granted, the cover isn't totally necessary, but we expect a flash on a 2-megapixel camera phone. Inside, the Voyager is just as attractive as it is on the outside. You're drawn immediately to the huge screen that sits between the stereo speakers. In a smart move, LG made the Voyager's internal display the same size as the exterior screen and gave it the same lovely resolution, customization options, and menu interface.
It may not offer touch controls, but it's a big leap over its counterpart on the enV, and it does its job very well. And in another welcome improvement over the VX, the Voyager rests evenly on a table when open. Just be aware that here again, the left spine controls are difficult to access unless the Voyager is open the full degrees.
Though this toggle remains square, the OK button is now circular and slightly recessed, while the entire array is black instead of silver. Happily, the changes didn't have an effect on the control's usability, as we still had an easy time breezing through the menus. The familiar soft keys sit just below the display, but we like that they're a tad larger here. Like on the VX and the enV, the placement of the aforementioned OK button far to the left of the display can be disconcerting on at first.
The alphabetic keypad remains is one of the best we've seen on a cell phone. Not only is entire arrangement quite spacious but the keys are also a tad larger and more tactile than on the enV. You get are the same Shift, symbol, and Enter keys, but LG replaced the enV's e-mail button with a control that opens a user-programmable shortcut menu.
While most of the alphanumeric keys are black, three are colored gray to indicate that they double as gameplay controls. Lastly, we like that LG kept the second space bar to the left of the Z button, but we'd still prefer it to be in the middle of the keyboard as it is on many smart phones. Features Though there's a lot to say about the Voyager's design, that doesn't mean the handset skipped on features.
By all means, it packs quite a wallop inside, but we'll start with the basics first. The Voyager offers a 1,contact phone book with room in each entry for entry for five phone numbers and two e-mail addresses.
