Oh yeah, The LG Voyager gets explored

The lucky bastards over at Engadget have gotten their hands on the LG Voyager. We have given you the specs on the successor to the wildly popular EnV and now we have some actual perspective on this gem. Not available for another week or so for the average person, Engadget has made our decision easier. For the post on specs check out http://technofilic.blogspot.com/2007/11/verizon-opens-pre-order-for-venus-and.html and for all the specifics from how well the keyboard works to the feedback on the outer touchscreen check out http://www.engadget.com.

New HTC phone given OK by FCC

Thanks to the guys over at PhoneScoop.com for this one. Apparently HTC has finally decided to give the CDMA folks some lovin'. This Smartphone is going to look something like Sprint's Centro (Palm Treo 500v).
Here are some specs:

- A Landscape QVGA screen
- WiFi
- EVDO
- Bluetooth
- 2 megapixel camera
- QWERTY keyboard
- microSD

Thanks to the FCC documents we know that this will be on Verizon. Another bit of good news is that it will be fitted with a 'very large battery'. That is really good news, just hope it has a somewhat sleak design. Codenamed Iris there is no information yet on when it will be announced or available but knowing Verizon it probably won't be until Q2 of next year at the earliest.

Sprint's new Motorola Q

I guess changing the way they handle ETF's, their policy on upgrades for current users, and overall customer satisfaction is weighing heavily on Sprint. First they release a promo photo of the new Motorola Q device but instead of having Windows Mobile as the OS in the photo it has Palm's rusty OS. Putting the online blogosphere into a tizzy and momentarily having everyone a bit confused. Well now the graphic designers (with too much freedom) have fixed the apparent mistake. Strangley they have named the smartphone the Motorola Q2, which makes sense it is the big brother of the orginal Q, but many leaks have namd this the Q9c. The Q9m came out for Verizon, the Q9h has since been released for AT&T and with the Q9c being in the pipeline for Sprint (and Verizon) why is it called the Q2. All will be forgiven Sprint if you will just release whatever the hell it is called already.
