Summary: this phone is a pain in the butt

Detailed: I have had 3 of these phones. The first time, I had it for 2 months and the screen started changing colors and some of the keys didn't work. The second time I got one, the charger wasn't connecting to the outlet in the phone to charge it, because it's so cheap and the front screen went black ( and some keys didn't work.) And the third one, which I have right now, just randomly turns off when i shut the phone or when its just sitting on the table, even with a full battery. So one thing to keep in mind- DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Voyager

Detailed: I love this phone, but it's my third one and all three of them have came up with something wrong with it. I have a protective cover that goes over the phone and I've never dropped it. So I don't understand why it keeps breaking on me. The first one, the screen went out and wouldn't come back on. The 2nd one, the charger hook up started not to work. And the one I have now the sound is going. I love this phone but I wish it would stop messing up on me. This will be the last time I get a Voyager as soon as I can I'm getting something better. Well I hope.

Summary: I wouldn't buy again

Detailed: There are a few things to like about this phone -- the keyboard, for one. That's pretty great for texting. However, I have found the rest of the phone to be fairly poorly engineered -- I've owned it for a year and half.

The first complaint I had is that the phone isn't that customizable. You can set your "shortcuts" but they limit you about what shortcuts you can put on your screen. I use the calculator function about 7 - 10 times a week grocery, shopping, at meetings, when with a client, etc. But, you can't put the calculator function on the shortcut screen. You can put "EZ Tip Calculator." Huh? So, I have to click in a few layers to find the calculator.

The second complaint I have is about the internet. When you try to load something too large for the system, such as say, a MAP, it just turns the phone off. Or it just kicks you out of the internet altogether. It takes a long time to get to your email and a long time to load. I got the internet so I could look things up and see a map while I'm out and about. Maybe look up a place to eat if I'm in a new place. No, those things seem to be too much to ask of my "Voyager". Then, when you type in a site directly, if you just click "ok" after typing it, it tries to "add it to your favorites" instead of bringing you to the site. After the 55th time of being asked if I want to add google to my favorites (and it already IS in my favorites) I found myself frustrated.

There are better phones out there that perform simple tasks (use the calculator, look at a map, look up something on the internet) without a giant hassle and presumably without being the size of a small boat.

Summary: A little big, over all good

Detailed: I have this phone and i do love it. The battry lasts about 2 days if you dont take on the phone (only text). I only have to problems with it, when your charging it, the charger cord falls out really easily, and its big (but still fits in all pants pockets)
all in all i would recomend this phone to anyone.

Summary: Great phone with minor negatives

Detailed: I was originally skeptical about getting a touch screen phone. Especially a brick-style with no flip cover or anything. This concern was justified shortly after I began using it as I had removed the cover film, but it's quick and cheap to get replacement film from any camera store, etc. I cleaned up the screen (thankfully no real scratches yet), put on the film and no issues since.

The phone is highly customizable as some others have mentioned. If you set some time aside to get familiar with all of the options you'll probably find there isn't much that can't be adjusted or changed to better fit your preferences. I use it a fair bit and there are still some options I have to re-familiarize myself with when I use them as I'm not a power user so don't use everything all the time. It stays locked surprisingly well, especially with a decent aftermarket carry case. I've never had any accidental calls made. Usually if it does accidentally come unlocked it just goes to a random tool since the second touch on the screen goes to the shortcut menu for apps and the like. It's nice to have the option to unlock it using the touch button on the screen or the spring lever on the side.

The calls have been clear and easy to use. The only issue I've seen (and it may have just been a glitch at the time) is if you try to plug in the recharging cable while on a call it may drop the call. No real biggie there once you know about it, just plug it in first or tell the person on the other end you'll call them right back if it drops.

The 'biggest' negatives to me are the lack of a flash with the camera (which is kind of sad since it does a decent job of focusing before it snaps a picture otherwise) and no regular headphone jack. The only jack I believe is for Verizon's use to transfer contact lists and whatnot upon purchase or wipes, it wouldn't fit a standard portable plug. I've had it for a couple years now and on occasion the touch screen will hesitate to respond but after waiting a second or two it responds fine. Also the speakerphone is only really practical with it flipped open since it uses the larger speakers by the inside screen. This makes sense overall, but there should be an option for it to use the outer speaker like there is switching between the touch screen and inner screen. This is really minor to me however since I rarely use the speakerphone (I prefer Bluetooth headsets).

All in all it's a great phone. From what I've seen the EnV Touch (essentially Voyager 2.0 I think) has added a flash for the camera, and may have a standard headphone jack now as well. If they maintained the stability and customization from the Voyager then I'd recommend the Touch for those after a new phone. If the Touch isn't available the Voyager should be a great value by now.
