Best Phone on VZW....Possibly Ever
I just got done visiting my rep at a store in MN here, and all I can say is: AMAZING!!!
I have been glued to the two bulletins for VZW and the Voyager itself for the past 6-8 weeks, so I am fully aware of the concerns and topics of discussion about the phone, and as such, I am here to give you my review of this masterpiece as I was playing with that and the Venus for about an hour today.
Pros: Amazing clarity on both the outer/touchscreen and inside, the screens are much bigger than the enV (which is what I currently have), very smooth look and feel, TV service is great, full HTML is great, camera is great, touchscreen is smooth/responsive/second
to none, and the keyboard is bigger and much improved from the enV model.
Cons: Stand...

The store rep is WRONG!!!!!
You are required to change calling plans to the nationwide plan when upgrading and/or purchasing the voyager. You have no choice. You can argue all you want but come the release date you will see.

I'm glad you liked the phone. I've been playing around with ours for the majority of the day. I really like the phone itself. Like you said the camera is awesome. I like the new UI for most things, although I couldn't figure out how to rearrange the shortcut menu, if you can at all.
my problem was, like others, with the web browser. It pulled some web pages up like a champ, but most were slow to come up. if you want to read a site you have to move the page from the left to the right back and forth. and the touch scrolling isn't THAT responsive. It either doesn't pick up the touch or it moves too far. I'm sure with more time i'll get used to it, but i still don't think it will compare with an iphone or most of the other pda browsers. ...

Who needs it? I am sticking with my 8350, easy to carry and no random reboots!
...
how do you know the battery is crap if you only played with it for about an hour?
...
Because I lost one bar in that time period after hardcore testing all of the features for that solid one hour.
...
And did you pull it off the charger while it was stating "charge complete" or is it a possibility someone else played with it for 30-45 mins prior to you getting your hands on it?
...
Oh, it had been played with previously but I could tell right away after playing with it myself that the battery is definitely going to have a short life on it and the extended battery will be a very advantageous investment for all who buy this device!
...
Well i played with it for two days and the rumors are correct. The phone is great as a touch screen phone with all the wow factors..vcast, gin, mobile tv. However the battery life is really bad..i had to charge it almost twice a day, but that could also be because of my excitment I was using all the features at once. Also the web browser is slow loading up the web pages..scrolling by using the screen works fine however the scrollbars are very tiny so its hard to get them to respond to your touch. OVerall if you are looking for an upgraded EnV with a touch screen and mobile tv this is the phone for you. However if you are looking for a web browser similar to a pda or iphone type of phone then you might wanna get just that. Everything is...
