Since the invention of the phone in 1876, comunication has come a long way. But who would of thought that you could send a email at the same time as leaving a voicemail? Or browse youtube videos from our cellphone? Its now gone from sending text messages to now sending picture or video messages. You can also browse the internet from your phone, or store music and videos. All this also comes with the basic ability to actually call people.

  But which service is better? Apple's new big hit, the iphone, has stormed the competition with one of the best phones of the century. But,as a comeback, verizon has released a similar phone with the same touch screen abilities: The Voyager. Both phones have received critical success, some comments better than others, and received decent sales.

The Voyager comes with the touch screen, internet access, and wireless email sync. It also comes with the basic bluetooth functions, while Verizon's phones have been critiqued for bad bluetooth. But some feautures the phone has that the Iphone doesn't is the pullout keyboard. The clamlike phone as a full keyboard when flipped out, which is very useful when texting and using the web browser.

The Iphone as the same similar features, but with some things added. The phone features an ipod-like music player, with the ability to add songs through the computer. It also has the feauture of watching youtube videos on the phone through the browser. You can choose to use either Wifi or at&t's internet access to connect. The phone also has a decent camera, with 3.0 pixels capability. The phone doesn't have the ability to take videos though.
