LG enV Orange Phone (Verizon Wireless)

At first glance, the LG Voyager resemble the Apple iPhone and the LG Prada. It has a dark, mirror-smooth finish that conceal large screens with touch-sensitive controls. Those controls give you direct access to a wide range of audio and video entertainment, available from Verizon's V-Cast services or your own collection. This phone can utilize the new 8-gigabyte microSD memory cards-a $100 option-which can hold thousands of songs and videos.

The LG Voyager phone supports stereo Bluetooth headsets for tangle-free listening. It also has voice command and a standard headset connector, and are GPS navigation ready, though service costs extra. They come with USB cables for loading music from your PC and recharging the phone battery. As with the iPhone, the phones' cameras lack a flash.

According to Verizon, talk time for the LGs is 4 hours. We'll check those claims for a future update.

In general, we found, this phones' features and capabilities were in line with their prices.

Here are our first impressions of this:

LG Voyager: An iPhone challenger

Price: $300 (with a two-year contract, including rebates)

HIGHS

Talented touch screen. The Voyager's large, 2.8-inch-diagonal external touch screen serves as both a display and a control center, like the ones on the LG Prada and Apple iPhone. (The iPhone's screen is 3.5 inches.) Tapping the menu icons with either your finger or a stylus (not included) launches all of the phone's main features, including the Web browser, media player, e-mail application, and cell phone.

Nifty navigation. Touch-screen navigation is very easy using the icon-based interface. No matter where you are, you can return to the main menu by pressing the "CLR" button at the base of screen. When you have to type a text message or dial a phone number, Voyager's touch screen produces the appropriate virtual QWERTY keyboard or number pad. Maneuvering on the Voyager is fairly easy: You can navigate Web pages and flip though your media collection with a swipe of your finger, or peck virtual buttons to zoom in and out, which takes some getting used to. Overall, the iPhone's display is more responsive. And zooming in and out is as easy as moving your fingers together and apart.

Quality QWERTY. One thing the Voyager has that the iPhone doesn't is a QWERTY keyboard with actual buttons, which we found easier to use for text messaging and e-mail. You access it by prying the Voyager open, much as you might do with an eyeglass case. We found the keyboard clearly labeled, well spaced, and very easy to read under most lighting conditions.

An HTML Web browser. Unusual for a cell phone, the Web browser supports HTML, so you can visit a wide variety of Web sites. It lacks a Wi-Fi connection, which the iPhone has, though downloading pages on Verizon's EV-DO data network is reasonably fast.

A second screen. When you open the Voyager, you'll find another 2.8-inch screen. It shows you whatever was on the exterior screen, in landscape orientation, so you won't lose your place when you switch to the QWERTY keyboard. But it's not a touch screen, so you'll have to rely on the keyboard for navigation.

Fine phone performance. The Voyager had very good voice quality when talking, good when listening-on a par with other CDMA phones. The controls for making and taking calls were excellent. And we found voice quality is actually better than the iPhone overall.

Tangle-free music. The Voyager has well-spaced stereo speakers for listening to music without headphones, with the phone open or closed.

Cool extras: Other features include support for Verizon's Mobile TV service with live broadcasts of CBS, Comedy Central, Fox, MTV, NBC News, NBC Entertainment, and Nickelodeon. We found the onscreen program guide, which holds 48 hours of program info, easy to use.

LOWS

Anemic e-mail "upgrade." Like most other phones, the Voyager includes only the single e-mail account you get with phone service. Paying an extra $5 a month allows the Voyager to manage up to 10 accounts. But in our tests, we couldn't open e-mail attachments or view Word documents and spreadsheets.

No flash. The 1.9-megapixel camera can record video but, as previously noted, it lacks a flash.

BOTTOM LINE

An impressive effort. The iPhone is essentially the same price for about the same capacity, offers full access to iTunes and YouTube, and has a better Web browser and e-mail application. But the Voyager is a better cell phone.
