The new Voyager comes with Visual Voice Mail

On the same day it launched the weird-looking Blitz QWERTY handset, Verizon Wireless also announced the availability of LG Voyager in Titanium.

The Titanium Voyager doesn't bring too many new things when compared to the old black one (which, by the way, is now out of stock). The main difference (besides the color) is that the new Voyager comes with Verizon's Visual Voice Mail and V CAST Music with Rhapsody services pre-installed.

Of course, users who own the black Voyager can also enjoy the two services, it's just that they didn't come pre-installed on it.

Users interested in getting an LG Voyager in Titanium can find it either online, on Verizon's official website, or in the carrier's retail stores across the States. The handset's price is similar to the one the black Voyager has: $149.99 with a contract agreement for two years (and after a 50 bucks mail-in rebate).

Unfortunately, the V CAST Music with Rhapsody and Visual Voice Mail services are not free either: the first one is available for $14.99 per month, while the second comes for a monthly fee of $2.99.

In case you don't know yet, V CAST Music with Rhapsody provides access to more than 5 million songs; each of them can be purchased and downloaded directly on your phone as well as on your PC. Visual Voice Mail, on the other hand, allows users to listen to voice mail messages, reply, forward or delete them, in any order.

With a 2.8 inch TFT touchscreen external display, a similar internal screen (sans the touch capabilities) and a full QWERTY keyboard, LG Voyager is quite an attractive device. Also packed with VZ Navigator, a 2 Megapixel camera, dual speakers and expandable memory, the Voyager seems to be one of the best choices for US users in need of a mid-end multimedia handset.
