LG Voyager - Apple iPhone Killer?

The LG Voyager is aimed at prospective iPhone customers. The LG Voyager is a follow-up to the popular LG enV and features a large touch screen.























The messaging-centric phone flips open like a laptop and is exclusive to Verizon Wireless. It resembles the iPhone in several ways. It has a large external touch screen that also slides open sideways for a full QWERTY keypad.

The LG Voyager features provide support for its high-speed EV-DO 3G network and includes a HTML Web browser, a two-megapixel camera and Bluetooth wireless headphone capability. The music player on the LG Voyager supports MP3, WMA and unprotected ACC music files. Customers can add as much as 8 GB of storage with SD flash memory, the same capacity of the iPhone or an iPod Nano music player.

The keyboard option is one advantage the Voyager could have over the iPhone's touch-screen-only design, in addition to Verizon Wireless' fast 3G data network that the Voyager will use to access the mobile Internet.

The Shortcut Menu icons that appear on the Voyager's touch screen and another set of icons at the bottom of the screen are similar to the iPhone.

The LG Voyager is expected to cost less than the $399 iPhone when it goes on sale in stores by the end of November 2007.
