    The Versa is worth opting for at a discounted price, although the full price puts it up against much more versatile contenders. Read more

    One of the most intriguing phones to be released by Verizon this year is the Versa, which is now the third touchscreen phone offered by LG, after the and .  It builds upon the previous models in terms of usability and functionality, but brings something unique to the table: a detachable QWERTY keyboard module.  One could say, “if you don’t need an attached keyboard all the time (like the Voyager), but do need one on occasion, then the Versa is the best of both Read more

    The LG Versa changes according to your needs -- in under five seconds -- from a very slim, stylish, and pocketable phone into a messaging powerhouse with the included physical QWERTY keyboard/case. The keyboard doesn't add much bulk, but it does add a lot of functionality, and also protects the relatively delicate touchscreen when not in use. And since it isn't built directly into the phone, the keys are a bit larger than normal, which is a definite plus. Read more

    The LG Versa VX9600 is a versatile, innovative and fun phone. If you love touch screen phones but can't do without the hardware keyboard, the Versa has a unique appeal, at least among feature phones. The QWERTY cover also happens to look great and do a good job of protecting the phone without adding significant bulk. Call quality is good and reception is very good; making this an easy phone to recommend. Read more

    • Unique and highly functional design, good call quality, excellent reception, some Flash support thanks to Flash Lite 3. Good battery life.
    • Some quirks in the UI-- for example, the arrow keys on the keyboard don't work to navigate on-screen menus. Though the phone can play Flash videos such as those on you...

    There's not much to say about feature phones. This phone worked fine for me for about the first year, and was a step up from my other flip style phone. I was excited to have a touchscreen. It worked fine, was very customize able, and it was nice to have a full keyboard to type with. However, after a year of use, it took a nose dive. The screen seemed to be getting less responsive.

  • What is the CORRECT headset adaptor for the LG Versa 9600?

    I've purchased two adaptors (Best Buy & Radio Shack) and neither of them are the correct 2.5mm to 3.5mm headset adaptors. I only received mono sound using these adaptors. What is the correct adaptor? and where do I purchase it?

  • More stylish keypads?

    I love my LG Versa, but I don't take advantage of the qwerty keypad based on its looks. Does anyone know if someone has developed more fashionable keypads for the device?
