Verizon Adds iPhone Lookalike In Challenge To Apple
The Voyager, made by LG and offered exclusively by Verizon Wireless, has a large touch screen that slides open to reveal a full keypad.
The Voyager, exclusively offered by Verizon Wireless, has a large external touch screen that also slides open sideways for a full QWERTY keypad. This gives users a choice on how they access the phone’s features, Verizon Wireless said.
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 iPhone doesn’t use 3G technology; instead, it uses the slower AT&T Edge data network.
The Shortcut Menu icons that appear on the Voyager’s touch screen and another set of icons at the bottom of the screen bear another astonishing similarity to the iPhone.
The Voyager also comes with multimedia capabilitie, and, for more storage room, the phone has a removable MicroSD memory slot that holds up to 8 Gbytes of memory.
