Two new phones from Verizon Wireless: LG Venus and LG Voyager
October 3, 2007 | Filed under Cell Phones, Handsets
Above you can see two new phones from Verizon Wireless, on the left it is the LG Venus and on the right it’s the LG Voyager.
Infosyncworld.com has had a chance to get a hands-on with both these phones and they see the LG Venus new slider as a phone with an innovative touch screen face that has a custom built interface.
While they said the LG Voyager is a phone that proves others do not have everything thanks to its V Cast Mobile TV feature.
Here are some photos of the LG Venus:

omg it is sooooooooo coool how much? and when does it get out?
I cant wait for the voyager 2 come out i will be first in line 2 get it!
i’m tired of all these touch screen phones. they all seem to have the tendency to start calling people by themselves everytime you put the phone in your pocket!
omgggg i have the chocolate now but im sick of it because its not a good texting phone and i loveee texting so im so excited for this phone! i want to get it when it comes out, hopefully its not too much!
when is voyager 2 coming out?
i would like to eat both fones they look so yummy ! !
ahahahha iphone destroys that thing. goto youtube and search iphone mods. something like that will never be out for the voyager because verizon is.. well. rude. and wont let you install programs on your phone like you can with the iphone. victory for apple is assured!!
omg i want it how much
naw man the helio ocean is better than those phones it looks a whole lot better those phones look so bulky
hey the guy with the i phone send me a pix or flix message on your awesome iphone or maybe watch some mobile tv or even download music over the air with vcast! Oh is your battery going bad send it off to get it repaired! oh and by the way you can get an 8 gig memory card for the VOYAGER!
its about 200
ahahha ryan too bad itunes is now mobile! goto apples website and read up idiot! i think itunes is just a litttttttttle bit bigger than crappy vcast! oh, and my built in highdef speaker, thatll make listening even better! the voyager is just a huge, cheap, PLASTIC knock off of the iphone! plus its a self defence weapon because ITS FREAKIN HUGE
wow dude u know nothing the i phone is much bigger
dillon you know nothing… voyager is about the same size, but isnt as wide, and since VCAST gets content through a music large provider other than just it self the libraries are near equal (itunes doesn’t have exclusive rights on record companies)… can you watch live streaming TV on your iphone? didn’t think so… although AT&T has a 3G network too, the content is from a third party, and takes longer to connect to than VCAST which is a small embedded app that allows downloading of simpler files without the interface needing to be reloaded every single time and are also housed on in network servers so the phone won’t have to re-authenticate moving from service to service, thus a much faster experience, as well as the fact that Verizon has the largest connectability because it connects with every single provider’s towers (without the problem/hassle/expense of roam), meaning the best network… and I forgot to mention the texting on the iphone has got to be painful if not just down right annoying… also LG is the manufacturer of the Voyager, LG has much more experiece in the phone business, like 20 phones up and runing well and apple has 1 who is more local info than connected… last thought, one of your arguments was that the iphone allows mod apps - lets not forget that with “outside” apps security is a problem, and apple doesn’t have a mobile app registration network for digital signatures - its all open, like a computer. the apps that you can have on ur VZW phone are 100% secure, iphones are open for attack, especially considering the fact that the apps are created and maintained by third-parties of apple, so if one of them should be compromised thousands of phones could be compromised, as well as the identitys of the people using that app… oh and, as you can see they are easy to hack due to this fact.
PS - those mods are nothing, they changed the icons and scroll… wow… it still can’t text worth crap and i still don’t see streaming tv or other content
yayayayayay!! my life story has begun, bring out the phone for my texting sensation! yahoo!!!!
VOYAGER COMEING OUT IN DECEMBER!
I love my iPhone but my service sucks and Im thinking about letting go of ATT and go back to Verizon when LG® Voyager® comes out.
All this back and forth is silly. I have had an LG9800 for 2 years (The V), and I love it. That said, it does NOT run Safari… and neither will The Voyager, which is the successor to the EnV. Hello?? a REAL web browser with a BIG scratch-resistant screen? The display on iPhone is unreal—hands down the slickest display of any phone on the market. The GUI is awe-inspiring. Have you USED one of these iPhones?? The touch screen GUI is incredible. Nothing anyone else offers or will offer in the near future will be as slick. Hello… it’s running Linux… *L* Please… The iPhone embarrasses this thing in terms of web capability, my #1 app for a device in my pocket. Sadly, everyone I know has Verizon, and the free Verizon cell–to-cell is too good to give up. Besides, the iphoneplans absolutely suck. They are a fortune.
My $0.02.
actually the Voyager is coming out nov. 21. and pre sales start nov. 8th.
wow what a junk phone. although i hate both the iphone and voyager the voyager is 10x worse
helio drift is better
im smarter? wow? dude, you can add freakin NES games to your iphone, you can add many toys, and many other funs things to play with. vcast blows, i would know, considering i have two verizon phones. can you tell me what are you going to “stream live” that you need that bad? seriously, it sucks, its all pixely and crap. the iphone is 100% scratch resistant to any normal enviroments and is an all around better phone. and i have a moto Q and an enV and i can say that i text atleast 20 wpm faster on the iphone than both the env and q, you just have to get used to it. the auto correction is unbelievable.
voyager blows, iphone rocks. its just how its going to be, accept it.
the only phone id take besides an iphone is a sidekick lx, those are almost as nice as iphones.
the LG venus is the best phone in the world i love it
the phone is the shit
I already signed up to get the lg voyager. My friend works with verizon and so he is getting me one now. its about 250 to 300. im so excited. at least it has a keyboard to text. dillion your getting trashed. just shut your stupid fucking mouth.
wow you nerds would post at like 4 in the morning. these phones are crap i just have a normal phone. not a- my entire life is all in one clunky phone so if it breaks im screwed. they dont even have enough memory to hold all my crap
I heard that both of these phones will cost under 100 dollars when they come out in stock. It might be true i dont know. But i hope it is so yeah
IT COMES OUT IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS..IF U WANT IT JUST LET ME KNOW OR SHOOT ME AN EMAIL AT DAVID.CHAIDEZ@VERIZONWIRELESS.COM
wow haha the Voyager is definitely not going to be less than $100. even though the quality to price ratio is ridiculous, it is not going to be less than $100
Verizons cheap give another company the phone and they won’t screw it up
The Voyager from what I have heard is due to come out this month, possibly around the holiday season. I have also found out that the price range for this phone will be around 400 to 500 dollars without a 2yr contract with verizon, the other name for the voyager is being called the LGVX10000
when does the lg voyager come out?
how much is it gonna be?
IM GETTING THE VOYAGER N CANT WAIT THIS PHONE LOOKS SO COOL AND IS SIMILAR TO THE IPHONE
dude.. look one fucking post up!
ok who ever said the voyager was about 200 sorry it guna be 250-300. but with verizon if you work for the state if you can show a valid picture id from your work you get 1/2 off phones and 15%off your monthly bill.
dude y not get the best of both worlds get the lg voyager and an ipod touch for wifi at home?
rob i honestly doubt what you’re saying unless you work for verizon. that phone’s not even a PDA and it’s not all that great quality. go look at verizon’s phones and there most expensive phone that isn’t a PDA is $250
The voyager will be coming out in about 15 days or so. It’s gonna be about $250 or so. Although I would rather go with Tmobile because they have a much better selection only because they have GSM.
GSM sucks…CDMA is way better…get the voyager…verizon kills at&t any day boitches…btw dillon if u looovve your iphone so much, i can’t wait till the day ur battery busts cause its gonna cost as much as the damn phone to get it fixed!!!xD
OMGGGG I CANT BELEIVE HOW AWESOME ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE FOR KNOWING SO MUCH ABOUT PHONES. LET THE GEEK SQUAD FEST BEGIN…. WOHOOO FOR VOYAGER AND iPHONE SUKS?
LOOK DILLON YU LIL BITCH… I DONT LIKE SMART ASSES LIKE YU.. I WANNA BREAK YOUR GAY iPHONE AND YOUR UGLY MUG.. KEEP ON FUKIN WIT ME AND WELL SEE WHO IS THE GAY GUY HERE… BY THE WAY VOYAGER RULES… “GEEK SQUAD UP”
don’t fool yourselves get a IPHONE!
and you can pre-order the voyager on Nov. 8th
dillons right the voyager sux fukin cock u dickweed douchebags
this fone is sick all i know is that its coming out right after thanksgiving and its going to be like $250.00-$300.00
its not coming right after thanks giving its coming out THE18THN GOAH PEOPLE JUST LOOK YOU DONT HAVE TO ASK SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
AND THE IPONE SUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who all thinks dillion is an idiot…..say I……IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! I have just wasted 10 minutes of my life listening to his crap. There is one thing that makes the I-phone a flop, its the stupid network! At&t sucks! That is why the I-phone isn’t even worth having. I do believe the I-phone is a better phone. Hands down. But the network is holding it back. Plain and simple.
honestly ppl arguing on the internet is like running in the special oylmpics
even if you win you’re still a retard
so idk why you’re fighting
it looks like a nice phone
i definitely agree with you david. mark, you’re a completely idiotic hypocrite…you’re on here arguing right now. so shut up. haha
wow…..im kind of scaredd…..
but yeah lol.i think he voyager’s like hella better cause its got a keyboard and looks tightt.
thats wat i thinkk.yeah feel free to argueee=]
For all you it is 299.00 with 2 year contact and it comes out November 17
ok.. well this phone looks ugly. I have the latest enV and they look exactly the same! there really isn’t no diffrence between the phones, except that the Venus is not that perfect or awesome, and if you want a bill of 500.00 i guess you should get it.. :]]
sorry ment to say that about the Voyager. But I mean i love the front cover???
ok well for all the people who don’t like the voyager, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU ON THIS SITE EVERYDAY!!?!?!??!??!!!!
whoa veryyy nice how much?
I personally don’t understand why we’re all bickering over this crap.
It’s a phone.
Someone likes another one that you don’t like… get over it.
I’ve seen good arguments that voyager’s the best.
I’ve also seen good arguments that iPhone’s the best.
Who even cares. It’s a phone.
in my opinion… the iPhone’s not even worth having considering you’ll pay thousands of dollars for it a year.
but then again who knows how much you’d pay for the voyager…
but it really doesn’t matter.
No offense people, but get a life and do something productive. Not debating over phones.
wellll.
i think the enV is scary looking.
its so ugly and the screen in the front is soooo small.i only like the orange that it comes in:)
lol yeahh.
the voyagerr rocks.
again…..feel free to argueeee=]
oh yeahh.
and for all the peeplz who say the voyagerr is like 500 dollars, its hecka nott.
only like 300.
thought i’d point that out.lol.
&&

i hella want it=]
voyager comes out nov. 21 but can be preordered on verizonwireless.com

Dillion…
u can put NES games and 3rd party shit on verizon phones… idk about the voyager but i have everything the Iphone has basically on my Q i have it look like the Iphone and all the apps. n extras.
haha ryan if you think it’s pointless to argue why are you on here? get off of this site if you don’t have anything good to say. oh and the voyager is $250 with a 2 year contract and it’s been up to pre-order since Nov. 8th. you can buy it on Nov. 18th. it’s amazing and it WILL be mine.
scratch that. you can buy it on the 21st.
oh and whoever you are “xAnDy C4NdYx”, i don’t know what you’re talking about because the voyager isn’t a PDA. so it’s not gonna be a $500 bill. i know! amazing, right?! you can actually buy the phone and not have to pay for internet and shit! omgz! so cool! haha fag
nvmd it’s $300

to anybody hating on at&t- i had verizon, ill admit, it’s better service but at&t isn’t really that bad anymore. it actually is really good where i live.
the voyager is really ugly and everyone knows it.. its hideous. i mean, how fucking thick is that thing?!
to the guy who said woo batter break on iphone its bad u pay twice more for fix.
dude, stfu.. its thirty bucks. if you cant afford that then dont get the iphone you poor asshole. also, if you have applecare, its free. no questions asked insurance for the win!
and cant you shitheads spell correctly? i mean my name is SPELLED for you and you still make an error.. wow.. im arguing with retarded twelve year olds or something.
dude im sick of all this people talkin shit about verizon and lg voyager.
first of all verizon is the best company and has the best fones made.
LG voyager is goin to destroy iphone.
and about the guy dillon or whatver who has “iphone” you dont know nothin about vcast so how would you know that it sucks? its better than your facee. and btw im getting the lg voyagerrr its awesome!!
and fyi at&t is crappy. apple wanted to sign a deal for the iphone with verizon but vzw declined
and who ever has the iphone you juss got ripped off.
i dont have nothin against apple…but that fone is expensive for no reason…and here now better fonee with cheaper pricee!!

*cough cough* iphonee
and arugueee like this.
oh welllll.
PEACE
Wow, I love the new phones Verizon have produced as a sales representative I get to see the phones before the public they are great phones. They look cool and you will be the hottest person with the hottest phones. The iPhones from cingular break very easily and these phones are very durable. The juke is a hot new creation as well, beat that cingular!! excuse me AT&T
After having the iphone and the AT&T service for three months I gave up on it. Don’t get me wrong the iphone is great phone and apple has set a new standard for phones today, but At&T service absolutely sucks. AT&T says they have the fewest dropped calls, but until I switched to them I never got so many dropped calls!!! As well as their service being poop their plans are very pricey and have limited add on features. Tomorrow my new voyager is coming in and I’m very excited to see which device I like more. Un till then I don’t think we should pass judgment since we haven’t had the hands on experience with the voyager.
Yes, i just bought my Venus monday and its the cutest and most awsome phone so far from verizon!
I just tested out the Voyager 4 prototype it has a built in massage chair and copy machine. its SOOOOOOOOOOOO cooooooooooooool. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a joke this phone can in NO WAY compare to the iPhone. Yet another feeble attempt to compete with Apple. All haters back down!!
OK, Why Why Why, would ppl come on to the site of a phone they “hate” in the first place??
Hmmmmmmm?
well, someone who’s name starts with a “D” was probably dropped on his head as a baby…
=^]
and i have had T-Mobile for years, great service, but now i live in TN, so i roam on AT&T towers, and they SUCK, i drop calls everyday, and i just upgraded to Verizon, BEST decision ever! love my Voyager!
dont like it?
LEAVE
OMG! HILARIOUS! This one was my favorite comment:
“honestly ppl arguing on the internet is like running in the special oylmpics
even if you win you’re still a retard
so idk why you’re fighting
it looks like a nice phone”
I agree that it’s a nice phone too. I have te enV and im totally going to upgrade to the Voyager. and btw, two people in my family have the iphones and when they both bought them with their plan and shit, it was like, $800… talk about freaking ridiculous… VOYAGER ROCKS
it is really COOL I can’t wait untill it comes out
hey im dieing for the voyager but i was wondering… on the web browsing is myspace good? and can you go on youtube?
ahahaha peoplzz
guess wat??
i got a new phoneee=]
and guess wat kindd….
an enV!!
lol i bet you thought i was gonna say voyagerr but nopee=]
my phonee is orangey….heee
im happy.
but yeah i saw the voyager in the store it is pretty awesomeee=]
so yeahh
im done talkinggg.
the internet will work pretty good with any website, as its full html (just like iphone) but, its a little jumpy and sketchy. its not smooth like the iphone, and you have to press the screen hard as hell.
youtube wont work. sorry.
yeah these phones look pretty cool…yeah i thought about the pocket calling thing …eh i dont know how to use a cell phone im just a mexican so this message took me a long time to type…
cool, im getting it for xmas
PEOPLEZ THE VOYAGER ALREADY CAME OUT
GO TO THE VERIZON STORES NEAREST TO YOU TO CHECK IT IT.
lol i like typingg in all caps
it funnn=]
k byeeeeee
You guys are dumb. I have the voyager and it’s pretty
i really really want this phone im asking for it for christmas i hope i get it
wow you guys are so dumb. why would you fight over phones? if you have an iphone then why are you on this page? you are obviously interested in the voyager. the iphone does suck and verizon is a really good company eventho. it’s supper expensive but that’s why people work! you dont have to freaking like the voyager ok.. no one asked you. so all of you little five year olds should go somewhere with your nonsense.
p.s- i am getting the VOYAGER :]]
I have the voyager and its hella nice.. I don’t know what all this talk about the iPhone is, its a piece of crap with an “awesome” battery.. yea right. I totally agree with Claudia, if u have a freaking iPhone why the F*CK are you on this page?! The Voyager is about $350 (you get a $50 rebate) with a 2-yr contract with Verizon (plus if u have credit to update ur phone, its even cheaper, I got it for $220).. its so worth it!!!
PS. Happy Holidays!!
claudia. you’re calling us five year olds, yet you type like someone with a mental disability. you’re a perfect example of an illiterate retard that buys the fake iphone aka the voyager.
haha plus the voyages touch screen is so shitty its like a treo touch screen. not iphones fancy glass touch screen with electromagnetic technology which makes it much more reactive and accurate.
OMG I LOVE THE VOYAGER I JUST GOT IT IS THE BEST PHONE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dillon is right about every thing all you poor ass faces are wasting your money. Claudia go suck a dildo and tell girl who laugh a lot to help ya u dumb bitch, iPhone kicks ass !!! Voyager suck cuz they saw how iPhone made tons of $$ so they devoted to copy them with a crappy version I personally own an iPhone and my sister a voyager I compared them and iPhone is better then voyager
wtf is wrong with all u people its hot it pretty and its good to text on i dont know why u people r saying its stupid what do u people know u probably havent even seen it
Actually to all of yall iphone lovers who have nothing better to do than hype up the iphone on a gay website. LG is the original creator of the touch screen phones. Therefore apple stole the idea from LG. Therefore apple is NOTHING without LG. A phone is a fucking phone period.
ok wen the touch screen on the iphone fucks up a couple times no problem just open the phone so u can finish doing watever u were doin, or, oh im sorry do u have to live with the fact that if u have a broke ass screen u cant do shit with it until it gets fixed
