Verizon's site is particularly lacking in actual useful details, all they want to tell me is what fun verizon services I can pay for on the device.]]>Nov 16th 2007 6:52PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 6:59PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 7:10PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 17th 2007 3:54AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/hands-on-with-the-lg-voyager-2/493050/]]>Nov 16th 2007 7:10PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
I think its just the microSD port. If you look at the side view you can see where it goes in and they just left that area under the battery open for some reason (ventilation?)]]>Nov 16th 2007 9:41PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 17th 2007 10:24PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 7:22PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 8:41PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 17th 2007 2:26AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
I'd urge you to actually take a look around and see what's going on around you with other carriers. Everyone offers pre-paid and 14 or 30 day trials, so try, you may be surprised.

Every time I've heard the "But Verizon is the only thing that works around here" bit from people I know, I've found that my phone on Cingular works just fine, and many times, better than their precious battery inhaling CDMA bricks.

Typically, the same people are also shocked to find that I don't need to charge my phone every night.]]>Nov 17th 2007 8:35AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 17th 2007 3:47PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
I'd have to go on ahead and disagree with you there.

Several people I know are using VZW, and all of their phones need to be charged nightly. These are such stone-age devices as Treo 700wx, Moto Q and BlackBerry 8830. All of them require nightly charges. Perhaps you're referring to their dumbphones? If that's the case, I couldn't comment, as I can't think of anyone I know that has a dumbphone, other than my one friend who has a Virgin Mobile phone.

They're forever asking me how on earth I can go 3-5 days between charges on my Nokia N73. My response is always, "It's the Network."

The N73 has served me well, and will soon be replaced by an N82, once I can find one for a somewhat reasonable price. Monday, my new job starts, at which time my Nokia E65 will be retired in favor of a BlackBerry 8820, which also doesn't seem to require daily charges. :)]]>Nov 17th 2007 7:38PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
I go 2-3 days easy without charging my bberry, and same with the old treo. Unless you wolf down 3+ hours of talking a day then there is no way those phones need to be charged every night.]]>Nov 17th 2007 8:04PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
I agree, I routinely go for 3-4 days without ever charging my vzw LG. I'm not sure what phone Jason is talking about, but it certainly isn't any phone I've used in at least the last 4 years...]]>Nov 19th 2007 10:32AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 7:26PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 7:48PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 16th 2007 8:06PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
What a wonderful phone, and I wasn't even in the slightest bit interested in it until I played with it!]]>Nov 16th 2007 8:15PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/
Sound quality on the speakers are great; providing a good listening experience with the flip closed or open. Unfortunately, the only thing I wasn't able to use was MobileTV due to the fact that it's not out in my area.

P.S.
Addition of VZNavigator with Touch... awesome =P If you've got questions on the phone, please feel free to ask. I can probably answer all of 'em.]]>Nov 16th 2007 8:25PMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/Nov 17th 2007 12:51AMhttp://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/http://engmobdev.weblogsinc.com/2007/11/16/lg-voyager-unboxing/

The point is once you go smart, you can never go back. And the Voyager form factor is better suited for a smartphone than any smartphone I've ever seen.
