Default new phone v. enV2/Voyager

Carrier: Verizon
Considering:

LG enV2:



Voyager:



Anyone have either of these? What do you like/dislike? I wanted the Storm, but I can't justify paying that much for the phone/service this time around, and both of these phones can do all I want them to do anyway.

Usage Time: (enV2//Voyager)
320//240min
Standby Time:
520//480hrs
Email:
Yes//No
Mobile Web:
Yes//No
Visual VM:
Yes//No

I can get the enV2 for $28.88, but the Voyager I'd have to pay about $100. Also, brother is being added for Christmas, and wants the enV2 as well, so I'm concerned about reliability. My girl has it, with no problems.. but I wanted to get some more opinions.

thanks!

I have the enV2.
Things I hate:
Restarts when you take a picture and immediately try to send it, but only if you have a card in.
Pocket dial all the fucking time.
Things I like:
QWERTY keyboard
microSD slot

So the things I like are the same as the voyager, and the things I hate are fixed in the voyager.
The enV2 is a lot thinner and shorter than the voyager.

Thanks for the info, Ive never heard of those problems from anyone else - but I can definitely see the pocket dialing thing. Does the phone have a lock on it? The thing I like about the Voyager that the enV2 doesn't have is a larger keyboard and visual voicemail.

Does Verizon still offer that 30 day trial program?

That restarting problem is known on howard forums. Same with the pocket dialing.
There is a lock, 7 seconds, 35 seconds and never. The lock is removed by pressing OK. Which is the cause of the pocket dialing.
The keyboard you get used to.

i have the env2 I like it alot obviously others have stated the whole pocket dialing thing. i had the same problem I just flipped it over in the belt clip and that stopped it from pocket dialing. the silver trim wears off badly if you have the belt clip. One thing that has been hit or miss as well is my OK button stops working on the outside of the phone. Alot of times i just plain cant get the lock off without flipping the phone open dialing from the querty keyboard and then closing the phone once it is dialed.

Got the env2. Getting used to it but overall it seems decent. Just hoping it doesn't crap out like my last LG phone :hs:
