LG VX9600 Versa photos leaked
What looks like the successor to the LG Voyager has apparently shown up as leaked photos on HowardForums. The LG VX9600, or the LG Versa, can be either a touch-screen phone or one with a QWERTY keyboard. Yes, apparently the touch-screen handset comes with a detachable QWERTY keyboard. There are also plans for other detachable modules, like a game controller pad, speakers, and maybe even a Wi-Fi module.
No word on the pricing and availability of this mix-and-match handset, but this sneak peek tells us this is one handset we'll want to keep an eye on.

this might look like a feature you need but once you start to use it
it's going to be impractical IMO
Just like the G1 , the keyboard looks cool,
but constantly sliding it open even for basic test input is kinda lame
Touchscreen keyboards r the future !
Which is why Apple will never include a keyboard on their device !

- I just traded in my voyager for the versa - quite a few differences? I love the smaller, lighter size. I don?t particularly like the bronze - would prefer black. Hate the brown background on some screens that I can?t change. The Voyager had stereo speakers and these sound terrible in comparison. But overall I like the internet interface better, the multitude of favorites and shortcuts, and the fact that I can now charge on my computer with a USB! That?s HUGE. Automatic orientation is nice, kinda ?I-phoney?, the display seems a LOT sharper. Just got it yesterday but I likee.
