LG Voyager dubbed iPhone killer by carrier Verizon - Image 1Apple and AT&T are currently facing some hurdles related to the iPhone. A good portion of the consumers are trying to hack it while some aren't happy with the business and marketing moves the two are making.

Based on this info we just got, you can now add LG's Voyager as one of iPhone's future headaches. Much like the iPhone, the Voyager also sports a sleek touch screen interface. However, it has some distinct advantages over Apple's baby as it offers faster wireless web access and a two megapixel built-in camera.

For those who prefer to be traditional, the Voyager has another screen for its small computer keypad. Verizon Wireless is also going to be the exclusive carrier of the Voyager and Verizon's Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman had this to say, "we think it'll be the best phone this year. It will kill the iPhone."

Market analyst Avi Greengart, however, had different view, "people who want a high-end media phone and want to stay with Verizon will certainly give that one a hard look. I don't know that it would pull anybody away from an iPhone." Verizon and LG have yet to give word on the phone's pricing and release date.
