My husband bought me the LG Voyager cell phone last year as a Christmas gift.  I had seen all of the commercials and was intrigued.  I consider myself to be somewhat tech savvy, but I have to admit that it took me some time to get used to using this phone.  In fact, the first time my husband called me on it, I couldn't figure out how to answer it!

The LG Voyager is a flip phone that has a touch screen on the outside and a QWERTY keyboard and screen on the inside.  When you use the touch screen, you feel a vibrating sensation against your fingers.  If the phone has been active for awhile, it will go into "lock" mode.  This is nice if you have the phone in your purse because then you don't have to worry about the touch screen bumping against something and dialing someone.  The down side of this is that when you are receiving a call, you have to unlock it first before you can answer it.  To place a call, you have to pull up the touch screen keyboard.  This was probably one of the hardest things for me to get used to because you have to hit the number just right.

I am directionally impaired, and this phone has VZ Navigator capability, which I love.  I can program it with an address and it will guide me there.  One of the things I love about the VZ Navigator is that, unlike other GPS navigation systems I have used, it gives you actual street names.  We recently went on a road trip and found that my VZ Navigator was much more accurate than my husband's Garmin GPS.  VZ Navigator also has a "Local Search" feature which allows you to search for restaurants, movie theaters, hotels, and gas stations in your immediate vicinity.  This has really come in handy when we are travelling or if I am in an unfamiliar area.

Another favorite feature for me is the web browser.  I am on the go a lot and I can keep up with personal and work e-mail along with other favorite sites (including auctions on eBay!) using my phone.  You can even access Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites.  The web browser can be slow at time, but you can access the entire site which is different from other cell phones that I have used which claim to have web capabilities.

I also love the QWERTY keyboard.  I love texting and it makes it so easy to text!

The phone also has Mobile TV capabilities, a "My Music" feature, a camera (including video), and a calendar.  My least favorite feature on the phone is the camera.  It is awkward to access and I have found that it is hard to use the camera feature consistently.  Mine usually switches to video mode and I have a hard time switching it back.  The scroll bar can also be awkward because you have to scroll from the bottom up.  It takes some getting used to, but once you do know how to use it, it isn't as bad.

Overall, I love this phone!  If you are on the go and looking for a phone that does everything, this is the one for you!
