Verizon LG Versa(tility)
Verizon Wireless and LG announced the LG Versa phone. The unit differentiates with others by its configuration. The phone will be available on Verizon network starting March 1st. I am wondering if this could be the last non Windows Mobile phone that LG produces.
The package includes a handsome leather case that houses a QWERTY keyboard when opened.
Users are offered with 3 different home screen configurations. The included full HTML browser supports Flash (yay!) and RSS feeds. TAB support is lacking, however you can open multiple instants (up to 3). In addition to the attached QWERTY (with back lid) and an OLED display in the back of the keyboard , a soft keyboard is also available in both landscape and portrait modes should you take the phone out of its case. Stereo Bluetooth; 3G EV-DO Rev-A; 2 MP camera as well as MicroSD slot are on board promising up to 16GB of storage.
Other features include goodies from Verizon such
- support for Verizon’s V Cast Music with Rhapsody, V Cast Video
- Visual Voice Mail
- GPS with VZ Navigator
The LG Versa will be available $199.99, after a two-year contract and rebate..

I see a lot of similarities between the LG Versa and an iPhone, but I must say I love the idea behind a detachable QWERTY keyboard. My current Verizon Wireless phone has a QWERTY keyboard which I have grown to love so it’s something I would look for in another phone. Ironically, the phone I have is also an LG phone so it might be time for a trade-in.

I just got the Versa it’s pretty amazing I love that it has different home pages and that it has an optional keyboard. The only thing I don’t really care for is the attachable keyboard cover skin. It’s ugly, but honestly I don’t care the phone makes up for it!
