We've had our eye on Verizon's crazy LG handset, the VX9600, (or "Versa," in fun-speak), since back when it was still just a doodle, and have expected an imminent launch since we caught those snaps of it in late January. So here it is -- documented evidence that points to a likely March 1 launch. If you've forgotten (there's no way you've done that, is there?) this zany piece of work boasts a sweet QWERTY keyboard module which is detachable, with other modules, including a pair of speakers and an internet module with integrated WiFi promised. No word on pricing yet, but we'll let you know when we hear something.

******sorry if theres a double post
Just like you, rofl
It's not the best looking phone, as it looks like the Dare, but it is very functional
w00t! w00t! On my birthday!! :D
me to
How are LG phones these days? The last two I used (the original Chocolate and some generic flip phone) were some of the stupidest and buggiest phones I'd ever used.
Much better. The LG KU990 Viewty was very nice and my friend's LG Secret KU750 is also quite impressive. I'm still a Sony Ericsson fan, but if the Versa is affordable I might seriously consider it.
I have to admit my LG Dare is pretty buggy, but it also had some good features. That's kinda how all LG phones are these days. Great on paper. I still love my Dare, though.
I'm using a LG Chocolate II. It holds up very well. I've only had to replace 2. (water damage, and lost the other one)
They hold up really well, I use the LG Chocolate 2 and it's very durable.
I own the LG Chocolate and it is very durable. The replacements weren't LG's fault, they were mine.
chocolate.,??lol!!!!!!come on get with the times!!!!!!!!!!your bringing us down.2009.,no buttons era!!!!!!
Clearly 2009 is the year of no buttons, or space bars..
Why did they take a picture of the computer screen when they could just take a screenshot?
Maybe they weren't supposed to be releasing it, and therefore didn't have time to take a screenshot and upload it (installing software or taking a print screen and converting), instead whipping out a phone camera and taking a pic.
Where do you think blurrycam came from
cuz uh, notice the retina-buring font, that's indicative of their techability.
To make this phone successful, they need to free it from the required email/internet plan that the blackberry's and other smart phones have. Keep it inline with the Dare and it will help this phone out.
I doubt there will be a required data plan. Verizon doesn't require one for the Voyager and this phone is on par with it.
On a side note I have the LG env2 and I love everything about it.
Both my mother and father have smartphones, one BlackBerry and a Moto Q, and neither of them have a data plan on Verizon. I don't know what you are talking about.
I go back home to get a new phone on the 6th, so unless something better, like the diamond, comes out between now and then, I'll probably get this.
I don't know about "free(ing) it from the required email/internet plan that the blackberry's [sic] and other smart phones have..."
Verizon's email client is crap, and since they remove J2ME from their non-smartphones, there's no hope that anything better will come along for them.
I came from a Blackberry to a Dare, and the thing I love most about the Dare is the excellent 3.2MP, but this is only a 2.0MP?
Also, I'm sure the modules aren't free.
I filed this one under "Why Bother" a long time ago.
It's on our 2-22 POG at BBY, though I don't know if we'll have any in by then.
My ex had a chocolate. That's why I left her
i left my ex because her neighborhood didn't get an adequate 3G signal. Pffffft! What kind of dude did she think i was?
its really a shame when they put all the hard work into the sexy hardware and then put the crappy verizon os onto it
since when does all the new LG touch screen phones have the Verizon OS?
I hope this phone doesn't suck, I'm due for an upgrade and this looks promising :)
This does look promising BUT I just cant see carrying around all this lil attachments. It doesnt seem practical forreal.
agreed! like i don't have enough gadgets I need to carry with me. and do you have to switch the different modules out? like no keyboard if you have the wifi module attached? fuck that!
Right, it looked good on paper. But put in to real life...its a failure. But you know it will sale. I mean its Verizon...their customers are looking for SOMETHING that is great on their network, lol
I'm more into the Nissan Versa (called Tiida in the rest of the world, including here in Brazil)
It's on Verizon, which means you can pretty much guarantee that the "advanced touch screen" will kinda blow. I haven't tried the Storm, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is the only capacitive for Verizon? I'm not against resistive, but I am when it is geared towards casual use without a stylus.
I do, however, like the idea of having an attachable QWERTY. They get to satisfy the touchscreen-only people, and those that need the tactile keyboard. I think this would be great for the iPhone too (not to be "that guy" that brings it up in an unrelated thread), though Apple would probably charge a good $80 for it.
this is going to be a sick phone. an attachable keyboard, attachable game pad and attachable speakers. what more could u ask for? it even has a touch screen. i think its gonna be awesome
So you have to have an attachment for wifi?
I was seriously considering buying this phone too.
Not to be narrow-minded, but i dont see this working.
Whats the point of a qwerty keyboard attachment when you need a internet connection attachment??
Still an interesting, though underdeveloped, concept.
Anyone have any good suggestions for phones with wifi?
I'm not really up to par on cell phones these days and im looking for a new one with wifi.
hey boy.. its a dope phone.. ya'll nerds.. already got mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCLDEnh9Cs0
This phone is awesome! I love that I can have the touchscreen phone with the QWERTY, remove it when I want the phone to be smaller. I basically got the Dare and the Voyager combined one phone!
