Review summary A strong combination of style and features gives the Sprint VM4050 a high coolness rating, but its battery life could be better. Though we had some minor complaints here and there, the Voyager's sleek design, generous feature set and excellent performance make it the best LG messaging and multimedia phone by far. The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper performance. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. We still have a few gripes, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model. The Samsung Instinct stands out as one of Sprint's finest devices to date. It's just too bad its call quality could use some improvement. The LG Dare is an innovative and feature-rich handset with several surprises that sets it apart from other touch-screen phones.
