Verizon Hopes to Kill iPhone with Voyager
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Verizon unveiled its Voyager cell phone on Wednesday that is designed to compete with Apples iPhone. Verizons Chief Marketing Officer, Mike Lanman, is so sure Voyager will trump Apples offering that he dubbed in an iPhone killer, according to Reuters.
"We think itll be the best phone... this year," he said. "It will kill the iPhone."

The company hopes its offering will give iPhone the knock down by offering some similar features along with a fold-out mini keyboard. Like the iPhone, it will include a touch-sensitive interface, a Web browser, and a two megapixel digital camera.
Despite Verizons high hopes, the Voyager may not hit Apple as hard as the company would like.
"People who want a high-end media phone and want to stay with Verizon will certainly give that one a hard look. I dont know that it would pull anybody away from an iPhone," said Avi Greengart, an analyst for Current Analysis.
Verizon isnt sharing yet what the Voyager will cost, but it is expected to come in around US$400 to match the iPhones $399 price tag. The company plans to ship the Voyager before the end of November.
