On March 1, the latest from Verizon's LG was released, and they're calling it the Versa. It differs from the company's flagship LG Voyager and LG Dare (apparently the collective ancestors of this successor) primarily in actuality an All-around abate and slimmer device, accepting a advertisement QWERTY keyboard and an bigger user interface with abounding added appearance and a customizable menu. So that's how it compares to its predecessor. But how does it analyze to its top competitor, the iPhone 3G? Let's acquisition out...
Well, to alpha with, and activity aback to the antecedent branch for a moment, the LG Versa has a disposable keypad! No such beastly exists in Apple's world. And gadget-heads are activity to LOVE this--believe me. Score one for LG (and accomplish that a big one)!
The awning on the Versa is .5" abate than the iPhone's, at 3". The iPhone's resolution is additionally preferable, at 320 x 480 as compared with the Versa's 240 x 480. The Versa does accept the aforementioned accelerometer affection that the iPhone has, however, acceptance users to about-face amid mural appearance and account appearance alone by alternating the smartphone.
At a bare 2 megapixels, the agenda camera on the Versa is abysmal--considering that 5 megapixels seems to be acceptable the norm. That said, the iPhone 3G still alone has a 2 megapixel camera itself. So actuality it's a draw--and what a apologetic draw for both companies it is. The Versa's camera does, however, accept a congenital flash, clashing some arch smartphone we know--ahem).
Another accepted aberration amid the iPhone and about every added smartphone, including the LG Versa, is its abridgement of a microSD agenda slot. Of course, Apple would say that's because it already has all the anamnesis you could charge onboard (with its 8 gig and 16 gig options). Beyond the 16 GB able agenda slot, the anamnesis accommodation of the LG Versa contrarily the Versa can act as a modem for wirelessly abutting to your PC, application Verizon's Mobile Broadband Connect and thereby availing you of up to 5GB of its accessible memory. Neat trick--but does that beggarly it has no onboard anamnesis of its own? Color this analyst confused.
The moniker "Versa" acutely charge angle for able as the customizability of this accessory is absolutely its best accustomed feature. Users can consistently add to the Versa's functionality and adapt the 3D agenda with specialized shortcuts to clothing their anytime alteration needs. Just some of the appearance and functions users can acclimatize at will accommodate punch and agenda fonts, backlight time, wallpaper and banner, and images that appearance on anniversary screen.
Beyond all that, the two accessories are comparable, differing alone in application altered proprietary software to accomplish their accepted functions and features--such as music downloading and playback, GPS navigation, beheld articulation mail, etc.
With a 2-year contract, the LG Versa (aka the LG VX9600) Costs about $200 afterwards a $50 mail-in rebate. The iPhone 3G Costs about the same.
