The on-screen controls include not only buttons, but also include directional controls. The menu layout in calls and in most applications is very logical, offering common actions that allow you to operate the phone without sliding out the keypad. This can be confusing at times because the jolt doesn’t confirm a successful press, it only tells you you’ve touched the screen (and your fingertip already knew it had touched the screen). The phone will vibrate whether or not you’ve successfully pressed an on-screen button (that’s right, if you press anywhere on the touch screen the phone will vibrate). Like the Voyager, the Venus’ touch screen has vibration feedback. The top, larger display is not a touch screen while the bottom screen is touch sensitive. When you turn the phone on, two bright and colorful screens give you that “wow” feeling. The Venus (LG VX8800) indeed looks very sleek: the front part of the slider phone is as shiny as a mirror and the plastic back has a black pebble grain texture. The Venus is a music-centric device, like the LG Chocolate. As of this writing, the phone is priced at $249.99 with 2-year contract ($199.00 if you buy it from Verizon Wireless’ web site). The Venus is sold by Verizon Wireless in the US and it currently comes in black. Like Voyager, the Venus has aGPS support and works with Verizon’s VZ Navigator very well. For multimedia lovers, the Venus offers V CAST content support including music, video and 3D games, and you can play music through stereo Bluetooth headsets via A2DP support. The Venus (LG VX8800) has very good call quality, excellent audio, a sturdy build and a microSD card slot. While the Voyage is large to accommodate the excellent QWERTY keyboard, the seductively named Venus is more compact and it has a sexy look to match its name. There are a lot of similarities between the two phones: both come with a touch screen and both have dual displays, both have a 2 megapixel camera (the Voyager adds an auto-focused lens) and both have a very strong set of multimedia features that make them very competitive feature phones.
