Voyager isn't bad, but like the other guy said it doesn't seem worth all the money. If the touch screen is anthing like my Venus then it can be a little gimmicky, probably even worse since that's all you have to work with.

Samsung just released a new phone, well a rerelease of one they had before, but it's a slim clam shell and the top screen opens and swivels all the way around and closes to make a 3mp camera with autofocus. Might be my next phone in a couple of months.

Samsung SCH-U900

Can't seem to find any good images that don't block right clicking so instead of clipping tool them and then upload them myself, here's one image and a link to Samsungs page for the phone.

The camera was on the higher end of the 2 MP camera phones I have used though. And the QWERTY pad is great, way more comfortable that the enV. I can't wait until someone cracks this thing and lets us add third party apps, then I will consider getting one. For now, this phone doesn't seem to have enough features to contend with the high end phones its up against.

Enjoy your new phone though! Good buy!
I dnt know if you playd with the voyager long enough bt you can just touch the screen anywhere and if you want to scroll down you pull your finger up. it actually works really well. at first i thought the same thing that side bar is worthless bt you can touch anywhere and scroll. as far as using the internet if you have any issues just open it up and use the keys inside and then close it and it will not close the application. bt the browser from the outside aint that bad. the only thing i have noticed is if you have a video on the outside and open it up to view it on the inside and close it it will end the video. bt im sure they will fix that with a software patch.

Ended up going with that new Samsung... best phone I've had in a while. I'd suggest it to anyone, especially over the Venus and Voyager. The picture quality is far better than anything I've used on a phone before and the autofocus works surprisingly well.



Here's a sample image I took, autofocus is amazing on a cell phone!

Here's a new image from the Samsung Flipshot with better lighting. Simply incredible for a cellphone, image is completely untouched except for a resizing via Photobucket.



Doesn't really seem to do Bokeh well but what's in focus is pretty good.

I have an LG VX8300. Its simple, but the keypad keys have definition between them, so I can text without hitting 5 buttons at once. Also, I just spilled a whole bottle of water all over it and it still works. This phone is a champ!

I think I might try to swap the cameras out, I found the camera from a KE970 online, so I might try swapping them out or something.
