New LG Voyager Update Mimics iPhone

Verizon Wireless has issued a new firmware update for their exclusive LG Voyager.

The device has attempted to answer Apple’s iPhone in design and range of features. The earlier software update, released less than a month after Voyager’s release, added major web browser improvements and numerous bug fixes.

The new update, V07, enables the user to change the array of icons on Voyager’s home screen. This is an obvious answer to iPhone’s 1.1.3 update, which added similar functionality earlier this month.

The update also fixed several bugs, as well as making improvements to Bluetooth. Verizon encourages all customers to update. To update your Voyager, take it to the nearest Verizon Wireless store. Please call the store to confirm availability before taking your Voyager in for update.

I wish they would come out with an update to allow an on screen qwerty keypad to text.

I brought my Voyager into Verizon today to be updated. They told me it would take 45 minutes, so I got lunch and came back an hour later. When I returned, my phone still wasn’t ready.

Ten minutes later they told me that there was an error updating my phone and my phone was now broken. I lost all of my contacts, music, pictures, text messages… EVERYTHING gone. They issued me another phone and said sorry.

This “new” phone they gave me had BIG problems with the touch screen. I couldn’t touch anything I wanted no matter how many times I tried. It kept clicking the wrong button. I called Verizon and complained and they told me I had to go back to the store to get another phone.

So…. After an entire day of trying to get my phone updated… I now have no contacts or music etc… but I have a brand new Voyager. Big Deal.

Fuck Verizon. I hate them so much.

@Dylan: call the waambulance. Same thing happened to me (well they didn’t *break* it, but told me it wouldn’t connect through the data port), so they gave me a brand new one on the spot.

Since was S M R T enough to spend 20 bucks on a memory card, all my contacts and pictures and music wat not lost. Only thing I lost were text messages, and, well, whoopideedoo.
