Does Verizon have the iPhone’s Number?

I doubt it. I may not care much for the iPhone, but the Verizon Voyager doesn’t look to be the answer either. The Voyager has 2 monitors including a 2.8 inches touchscreen, QWERTY, 2Megapizel Camera, BlueTooth, GPS, Mobile TV, MicroSD port, and more according to sources.

I haven’t had a chance to play with the Voyager that Jack posted about last week, but James Kendrick has. From his video, it doesn’t look to be the iPhone Killer that Verizon is saying…

"We think it’ll be the best phone … this year. It will kill the iPhone," Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman said in an interview. - Yahoo

I don’t see it… Check out James’ Video around the 7 Minute mark. What do you think?

The keyboard is great and the ability to use Verizon’s EVDO helps, but the software doesn’t seem as intuitive as the iPhone’s. While I am not advocating the iPhone, I do think that Apple will open the data up by allowing it to be used on At&t’s 3G Network.
