3. Features

We can speak for hours about the devices’ features drawing parallels and finding advantages of each of them, but let me summarize the major differences in features and make the conclusion.

iPhone

2-way sms, but no mms
A fused battery
2.0 megapixel camera
A 3.5” screen
No video recording
No text-to-speech feature
Basic iPhone’s pros: Accelerometer, Multi touch screen, Attractive interface, Pinching images, Visual voicemail

LG Voyager

Full sms and mms capabilities
Removable battery
2.0 megapixel camera
A 2.8” screen
Video recording feature
The LG Voyager has text to speech, so it can read your text messages to you w/out installing anything
The Voyager’s pros: 3g EV-DO network, swappable battery, QWERTY keyboard, GPS, MMS, SD mem, 2 screens, touch screen

The result: 2-1 for LG

4.The quality of Video and Music

iPhone

“The iPhone’s multimedia performance sets bar for cell phones. The video is crisp, and music is as good as any iPod. That’s enough to put it over the top, even without the rich Internet browsing experience”

“Music quality on the iPhone is decent, but the thing that blows the Voyager out of the water is its video quality. Videos just look really great on the iPhone’s wide screen”

LG Voyager

“The Voyager’s music quality was respectable, but its streaming video quality was uneven and the Web browsing wasn’t quite as fluid as that of its opponent. The V Cast Mobile TV quality was respectable, but ultimately it can’t quite compete with the iPhone”

“Music and video quality are pretty good on the LG Voyager, but the streaming video quality isn’t that great”

The result: 2-2 draw

5.Call quality

iPhone

“The iPhone had decent call quality on the whole, but its volume level was too low. Some users have also complained of a background hiss, though I didn’t notice”

“For the most part, the iPhone had decent call quality, but there was a background hiss that could get distracting at times. Also, I found the speakerphone volume a bit low”

LG Voyager

“Though I did notice a slight hiss here, the Voyager beats the iPhone on call quality. The clarity was crystal, and the volume was sufficient”

“The call quality on the LG Voyager was solid. There was little background noise, and callers heard us loud and clear”

The final result

Which device do you think is the winner? According to the audience’s opinion (but not mine again) LG Voyager comes the winner. The Audience proved that touch screen is not enough for the iPhone to beat the more functional LG.

But do you personally agree with that written above?
