Glyde
You know, screw this thing. It’s TINY. If LG tries to top this with a new version of the Voyager that’s smaller and more compact (thereby ruining the perfect form factor and functionality of it’s QWERTY keypad inside) I will seriously cry… even though it won’t really impact me until around December of next year (new every two, don’t you know).
I’ve never understood this whole fetish with smaller, smaller, smaller phones. Pretty soon we’re going to start seeing bug-eyed, tiny-thumbed mutant children evolved specifically to see tiny micro-phone text and bang out long txt messages on keypads normal people can barely even see.
Loving the Voyager, by the way, and can’t imagine a better phone. Well, I suppose the camera could be slightly better (okay, a lot) and it could have a lens cover like the enV… but the size and functionality tops this Glyde pretender by a mile.

If it makes you feel better, I sold my 3 month old iphone to buy the Voyager and I have no regrets.
Originally, the Voyager browser was awful. But after the latest firmware upgrade, you can scroll through a page before it is loaded fully which is something that the iphone does and greatly speeds up browsing time. Another huge improvement was made with the zoom in/out function which is now on a slider and pages reformat instantly. All in all, the Voyager web experience is very close to the iphone browsing experience.
With m.youtube.com, EVERY video you cansee on iphone’s youtube function can be seen on the Voyager. Viewers’ comments cannot be read on iphone but they can be read on the Voyager.
Camera is better on the Voyager. Phone service is much better. Verizon crushes Att.
As for the Glyde, the Glyde cannot play mobile youtube clips like the Voyager can.
So whether it is the iphone or the Glyde, the Voyager is superior.
