Speak easy
What's Christmas without the latest, greatest electronic gadget? And, this year, the cell phone junkies on your shopping list will be sure to appreciate the Voyager by LG, which was unveiled last month and is exclusive to the Verizon Wireless network.
The phone bears a striking resemblance to another high-profile cell phone of 2007 -- the one made by a company whose name is taken from a common fruit -- but packs a few extras that one doesn't.
On the outside, there's a 2.8-inch touch screen that offers tactile feedback and an iconic menu that makes accessing the phone's functions easy. Open it up, and there's a full QWERTY keyboard for power texters.
The Voyager also has a 2.0 megapixel camera, a microSD memory slot that can support up to 8 gigabytes of additional memory, and can access V CAST video, V CAST music and V CAST Mobile TV. It also can play music in mp3, WMA and unprotected AAC and AAC-plus formats and has a Web browser and VZ Navigator capability. Oh, and it looks pretty cool, too.
The Voyager is available at Verizon wireless stores. It retails for $299.99 after a $50 rebate with a two-year customer agreement.
