Verizon Wireless announced today a series of new holiday phones. Among the bunch (which includes the new BlackBerry Pearl 8130) is the aptly named Voyager, by LG.

The Voyager looks strikingly similar to the iPhone, and it's no surprise, considering the huge amount of success Apple has encountered with the trendy touch screen technology. One benefit the Voyager has over the iPhone is the flip-down QWERTY keyboard, making it easier for those who have trouble with the tiny touch-screen keyboard. It also has a secondary screen for e-mail, texting, and games. The Voyager supports V CAST TV for live digital TV viewing and stores as much as 8GB of media on a microSDHC card, and has a 2megapixel camera.

All of the new phones from Verizon will be in stores by Thanksgiving... just in time for holiday shopping! No word on price yet.
