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

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.
