More than a year after Apple introduced it with the iPhone, and some months after Sprint lauched it with the Instinct, Verizon has finally brought visual voicemail to one of their phones.
At the current time it only works with the revamped LG Voyager, known as the Voyager Refresh. However, it’s expected to arrive on other phones very soon — maybe the Dare?
Version 4 of the VZ Navigator has just been released! Among the new features:
They’re really doing a nice job of adding features that take advantage of the data connection, something that most standalone GPS units can’t do. The cost is $9.99/month or $2.99 for a single day.
It was rumored to come out on May 9th, but it’s official today.
It’s a good looking phone. I love the form factor, and it’s got a nice, large touchscreen. In addition, it features:
All in all, it looks to be a pretty slick phone, though it’s certainly going to suffer with Verizon’s horrible UI. Anyone pick one up yet?
I’m pretty sure this will be the form factor of my next phone. I like the idea of a big touch screen on top, with a QWERTY sliding out from below. I’m leading more toward the Sony XPERIA X1, but there’s a number of nice choices on the horizon.
Here are handful of nice photos of the phone, as found at HowardForums (via PhoneMag):
