My sis has the voyager and bro has the V. Bro doesnt seem to have any troubles, i just think they are both too bulky. My sis' voyager keeps freezing and making random noises, kinda like feedback from a speaker.

I ended up getting the alias (u740). No problems so far, and it's relatively compact w/ a full keyboard and mp3 player. Some say it's hard to get used to, but it took me all of 2hrs to actually get used to lol.

The enV is a good phone usually good battery life and great reception... The alias(the black double flip phone) Isn't as good. But most people don't have too many problems with it... I would stay away from any motorola products if you want your battery to last a day... Ask me any questions you want about VZW phones or any phones/pda's, I work as a Tech for VZW...

yah ur right but i just put i that way since the enV was the new version of the v and the voyager is pretty much an entirely diffrent phone

I don't know why people try to be all special, my phone works great:




Doubles as an IED as well.


It's better than my last phone though:

what are you talkin about? Ive had the V, the enV and now the Voyager, and theyre all damn near the same as the first one? The only difference on the Voyager from the V and enV's is the touch screen. Once you open them theyre basically identical and they all even have the same operating systems.

The Voyager kicks ***, I love it, best phone ive ever had, with the enV being the second best, and the V being the third.
