With its half-touchscreen display and slider form factor, the Venus by LG is like the little brother to the full-touchscreen Voyager. It’s a flashy multimedia phone that will turn heads, but it costs a pretty penny. While not without its flaws–namely its key-locking mechanism–the Venus is a worthy upscale alternative to the LG VX8700 and Motorola MOTORAZR2 V9m.
Aesthetics and Exterior
The first thing you’ll notice about the Venus is its black bezel (also available in pink starting December 11th) and half-mirrored display, which has a silver tint to it. At 4 x 2 x 0.6 inches, it’s just a hair larger than the Chocolate but 0.1 inches thinner. Just below its upper 2-inch, 320 x 240-pixel display is another 1.5-inch, 240 x 176-pixel haptic touchscreen used to navigate the phone’s menus.
