I am looking to get the LG Voyager and would like to use it as my primary portable player. Does anyone have experience with these? Am I better off just using my 1g Nano?

Also, I have a set of Shure se310's...will these work ok? or will I need a set of IEMs that is more designed for the iPhone type of devices?

Thanks

You are better off using the nano if you are going to do heavy listening. The voyager will give you less than stellar batterylife if you use the player as your prime mp3 player because of the screen backlighting. As far as headphones, the voyager does not take the standard 3.5mm jack of headphones...so you will need an adapter if you want to use your shures. Other than that...I love that phone.

x2 on that. I have the LG Chocolate, and bought a 4GB SD card for music. It sounds okay, but big mistake. Battery lasts like 3 hours if playing music. Waste of time. I have a headphone plug converter I will sell you if interested, since I have two (one cost $18 at BestBuy, the other $10 at Radioshack. Both work fine, but the BB one has a cord expander).

well that is too bad it eats up the battery like that. I havent looked into the price of a 4gb or 8gb MicroSD card for it though, but it might be even more cost effective to buy a new Nano even. Especially if you take in to account the longevity of the Voyager and its battery.

Thank you for the input!

Agree on a smaller DAP for music. Someday they will solve the DAP/cellphone battery dilemma (there is a Samsung, called the Juke, that plays music and last longer, but no web, etc.). Right now, different gadgets for different purposes. Guess the iPhone might be an exception, but not worth it in my view.

The problem with AT&T is that they dont have service in my area, so the iPhone isnt an option for me. Oh well, spose I will just look into a 2g nano and use that. Again thanks for the input.

Well you could always purchase a the IPhone and hack it to work with T-Mobile if that works in your area. Be aware that the newest firmware for the recent IPhones still needs to be hacked (v1.1.2) but if you can get ahold of a 1.1.1 version that is hackable right now.

1.1.2 that ships with the new IPhones and its updated baseband should be getting the hacking treatment relatively soon with the new 1.1.3 just on the horizon.

No luck on T Mobile either, it would have to be Verizon or Alltel. My area of Montana doesnt offer much. If there is a way to get the iphone on Verizon...please show me the way!!

No there isn't, since Verizon phones aren't GSM. Verizon uses CDMA. In a year or two they are supposedly ditching the antiquated CDMA.

That's the one thing I hate about Verizon. Makes phone selection a pain but they do have good signal quality almost everywhere.

Yeah it seems that for the past several years when i want to upgrade to a new phone, Verizon doesnt have the phone i really want. They do make up for that with the signal though. So i spose its worth the trade off in the long run.
