Verizon Wireless LG Voyager inventory

OK, so…we went on a little mission trying to find the LG Voyager this morning. It is practically sold out everywhere, and believe us when we mean everywhere! We literally called over 100 + Verizon Corporate stores looking for the phone just to see how it was selling, and if you’re still looking for one, here are the stores that we found that still have some stock as of 12:00PM ET:
- Burlington, VT
- Hunting Station, NY
- Bridgewater Communications, Bridgewater, NJ
- Upper East Side, NY
- Circuit City Mid-town, NY
- Circuit City Union Square, NY
- Massapequa, NY
- Commack, NY
- Patchogue, NY
- Meriden Mall, CT
That’s about it! Let us know if you manage to grab one!
I am hoping to sync my outlook calendar to my phone via USB cable - I don’t need it to be dynamic… a once a day sync is perfect for my needs which is why I don’t want to pay Verizon $20 a month for their wireless sync service.
Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions would be a huge help to me.
Thanks!

I went to a vzon store and they were sold out. But they told me i could pay and settle the contract stuff there and they would ship the phone out. I got the phone in 2 days via FedEx, pretty quick. Alot of people confuse the VX10000 with smart phones, that is it not. Like said above, its a media centric phone.
Now about the phone: I liked the EnV but i didnt like how big it was, so when i saw the Voyager i liked the size, not too big.
Interface: is great, no lag (unlike Motorola, and was a motorola fan) its quick and easy, simple to learn, the vibra touch screen is nice. I find myself txt’n on the front screen it works so well.
Web Browser: works good, 3 modes - optimized, not optimized, and text only. I check my Fantasy sports with no problem.
CAmera/Video: not bad for a phone, much better than my KRZR camera. 2MP does the job.
Video Content: Vcast content comes in fast, video camera works well for a phone, it does have an antenna to help out, pretty funny it has a pull out antenna, originally i thought it was a stylus.
Flip out keyboard: almost same as EnV, layout and lightup works fine with me. No touch screen inside FYI.
Concerns: I was at a store where i used my old KRZR and had no issues with signal, was in the same store today with the VX10K, and had no signal for a few seconds, but it came back but was weak. not sure what was up with that.
soo well see later down the road.

I think the Voyager is a great phone, but I have a few recommendations for improvement:
1 - It needs at least a 5 mp camera with a lens cover and/or an optical zoom.
2 - Get rid of the qwerty keyboard and make the whole phone 1/2 as thick as it is.
3 - Give the user the ability to ‘upgrade’ and/or ‘personalize’ phone with downloadable applications.

Will this phone work with the Ford Sync program in its 2008 vehicles? For some reason the bluetooth in most phones work fine but the “Sync” program in the Ford vehicles will also read incoming texts with specific phones/bluetooths. Does anyone know if this phone is compatible with “Sync”? I am a Verizon customer and, so far, none of their phones have the texting capability with the “Sync” program.

You can indeed get your contacts and calender from outlook and get both pop and imap mail via wireless sync. I looked hard at getting a Moto Q (I don’t like motorola) and one of the palm os phones or BB pearl.
The deciding factor for me was ultimatly the calling plan. I have 3 other lines on my family share plan and I realized I was going to have to buy a data plan separate if I was going to use a PDA phone, whereas with this phone I could take any number of family share min and just pay $19.99 extra for the contacts and calender.
You can use a couple of different services to get any pop mail account like Remomail from as little as 1.99 a month, but you don’t get the contacts and calender, which is what most people want more than mail.
I gave up the functionality of the win mobile or palm os for the voyager’s browser. I don’t much care for the enhanced mode. It’s good if you just want to read news articles but if you want to view regular websites you need to turn it off.
To sum it up, if you’re a single business user who needs everything then get a pda phone and an unlimited data plan. If you’re a family user who wants some lighter syncing along with the multimedia apps, then check out this phone. Find a real store with a working demo version. Lastly buy a memory card. The phone will work without one, but performance will suffer, especially if you import a lot of contacts or calender items.

this phone sux. i can’t believe that with every phone i’ve had that can connect to a pc that all i had to do was plug in my phone and my contacts and calander was all sync’d. when i bought the damn thing they said i could do that. now i found out that i have to pay for it. monthly! i could’ve gotten a fucking iphone and sync would be be free. what do i get instead. pay to look at back up my contacts and see my schedule via phone only after i agree to drop $20 a month. when my contract is up. this phone is getting recycled.

Is there a way to synch the Voyger with the Palm OS calendar?

I successfully synced my Mac Address Book contacts to my Voyager using freeware called Bitpim test version 1.0.7. First, I exported my contacts in VCard format on my Mac (this should work the same with Outlook.) Next, I imported the VCard file into Bitpim. Last, I sent the contact data to my Voyager via the USB cable. Easy and painless. You can find Bitpim through Google.
