I will probably get ridiculed by the iPhone and Blackberry users for admitting that I like my LG Voyager (discontinued now) through Verizon Wireless, but I like the full qwerty keyboard when I flip it open, the screen size inside and also the larger outside touchscreen display and best of all, the VCast TV that I can watch while waiting in the lobby of the doctor's office, or at the airport, or where ever I have to wait for some time.  The extended battery I found gives me 1-1/2 to 3 days of standby use and a few calls per charge.  

I even dropped it into my swimming pool while it was turned on and fished it out 10 minutes later and thought it was ruined, but I just filpped it open, removed the battery and set it in the oven on the warm setting (150 to 180 degrees Farenheit) for about 20 to 30 minutes and then put in on the charger and it turned on and worked.  The battery was ruined, hence my purchase of the extented life battery, but I am pretty happy with my 9 months of use with the LG Voyager and wonder why they discontinued it as I don't see an equal replacement from LG in the Verizon store.

I have thought about giving my LG Voyager to my Son, as his phone is dying fast, and getting an iPhone for myself, as I use a MacBook and would like to be able to sync my calendar and contacts, but question the cost and having two different wireless phone company bills.

Made the jump to the iPhone yesterday and gave my LG Voyager to my Son for part of his birthday present this morning.  Now to learn how to use this iPhone!
