When you first look at the LG Versa, some similarities to another popular LG touchscreen phone, the LG Dare, becomes a bit evident. However, besides the similarities in overall appearance the Versa VX9600 stands apart as a very competent offering in the touchscreen segment. The LG Versa can be understood as the more versatile of the two LG handsets, as it boasts of a number of additional modules that can be incorporated to increase its performance and personalize the entire touchscreen experience.

Customizing Looks: In the standard packing, the Versa has an attachable QWERTY keyboard and a built-in leather casing. However, if the user does not want the QWERTY's bulk then there is a very interesting option — it can be detached and the typing can still be carried out with the virtual keyboard that is available as a part of the touch screen. Similarly, the back cover can be replaced with the QWERTY's cover pad and the phone now has a slightly different looks. Even the standard cover offered has a brilliant OLED display that is much like the ones found in today's flip phones. It includes the standard call/send/end buttons which means that you don't have to open the cover when answering or making a call. Yes, many superficial similarities to the Dare are there but the Versa is a sleeker version of the two and its battery cover has a smart high-end texture wrapped around. Customizing the appearance of each home screen is easy and the gear icons lead you to easy-to-follow instructions displayed on a page, explaining the entire gamut of settings options. The keyboard attachment also boasts of faux leather on either sides and this gives the phone an executive touch.

Evaluating Features on Offer: For a change, the handwriting recognition software actually works and even if you scribble, the text is changed into proper fonts. Yes, there are some issues in differentiating between numbers and letters but then that is the case with most touchscreens in this category. It boasts of a huge 1000 phone book contact capacity and supports two e-mail addresses. Other useful applications include Text/Multimedia messaging, speakerphone and a tip calculator. The drawing pad is very intuitive and it assists you when trying to sketch small drawings. To some extent the 2 Megapixel camera is a bit of a letdown but then the Versa has been competitively priced and the camera does deliver very crisp images and the colors are vibrant. The GPS work with the VZ Navigator Subscription Service and the audio specs offer a built-in speaker and A2DP stereo along with a 2.5 mm stereo headphone jack. Memory expansion is offered in the form of an SDHC micro-SD card slot.

Verdict — The LG Versa is a combination of being a slightly executive-styled and a fun-themed phone. It is a bit different from the usual touch screens in the market and operating it is undemanding. It does make a strong case as a smart purchase and promises durability and performance.
