LG Voyager, Blackberry Storm, or LG Dare

[Amby 490]

I'm going to get a new phone in a few weeks and can't decide which one I want. I'm kinda leaning towards the LG Voyager because it flips open and has an actual keyboard instead of a touch screen keyboard like the others. Anyone have any of these? Pros and cons of any of them?

Can someone explain the point of these 'phones' beyond their 'cool' factor?

Have fun Amby, I am sure there are plenty of useful opinions out there, but in the end, just go for the one that looks cute.

My phone is like my lifeline. I feel naked without it in my hand or pocket I use it for everything...calendar, mp3 player, calculator, messages, camera, etc etc etc. I guess I'm a phone #######

wifi, 3G, email client, GPS, QWERTY keyboard - that is if you use these features.

I have a Blackberry, so I'm somewhat partial to that line of phones. Having said that, I'd suggest you get the Voyager if you send a lot of text messages and browse online. The keyboard is priceless, plus it hides away when you don't need it. I can't imagine there's as much software as for the Blackberry, however. I don't know if that's a priority for you.

If you like touch screen interfaces and want the newest Blackberry, I'd say go with the Storm. Blackberry phones have tons of software, so if you like to customize your phone (beyond what's available for non-Blackberry devices), I'd suggest this phone. The practicality of it -- aside from the software available -- is limited and sometimes touch screens can be overly sensitive. You might need a stylus, which depending your preference, may or may not be something you want.

The LG Dare looks neat, but I don't see what the main difference is from the Blackberry Storm.

Blackberry all the way...

The blackberry is good for those. I never considered storm but in general there are lots of software for Blackberry. I personally would go with Blackberry or Nokia for PDA.

My husband has the Blackberry Storm. It pretty much rocks.

It's even got a built in GPS. I didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the thread.

I have the voyager. I absolutely love it. I don't even use my phone for that much stuff except texting. For that the inside keyboard really comes in handy. I don't really know much about the other ones. I do know my 20 year old niece has the blackberry and it's constantly tearing up on her. She's had 3 in the last 6 months or so. I stayed far, far away from the blackberry when I was choosing a phone.

If I had to get another cell phone and money was not an issue, I'd go for a touch screen model.

Thanks! I'm a big texter and net browser on my phone so I was thinking the keyboard was what I probably would need

I think they all have GPS just depends if you want to pay for it or not

Do you have problems with the touch screen not being as responsive as you'd like it to be? My sister has the Voyager and is constantly complaining about the outside screen pissing her off. She had the iphone until she dropped it into a pool and then gave up on having her own contract

Hey check out this site.

They have reviews on the phones you are looking at.

Personally out of those phones I would go for the Dare. It's LG's top of the line phone.

Another one to check out is the Samsung Omnia which seems like a great phone too.
