Swiping your finger across the 3-inch, 480 x 240-pixel touchscreen (left or right in portrait mode and up or down in landscape mode) will toggle through three different desktops that you can customize. If you thought the LG Dare's interface was a bit of a mess, like we did, you'll appreciate the new 3D interface on the Versa. Though nothing is confirmed, there has been talk of speakers and game controllers. The LG Versa could be become more compelling over time as Verizon Wireless and LG make available additional attachment modules. And if you're dialing a number that requires entering numbers after you dial, like an extension or menu option for voicemail or customer support, you'll have to open and then close the cover to continue your conversation. For starters, you can only call the last number dialed you'll have to open the phone to cycle through other recently dialed numbers, or use the dialpad. Though the keyboard doubles as a pleather cover with an external display and dedicated Send and End keys, and you can still hold a conversation with the cover closed, using the Versa in this mode can be awkward. LG could have easily put the period key in the bottom row if they just got rid of the arrow keys, which seem unnecessary with a touchscreen. Our only real beef is that the period key is in an unusual spot-to the right of the L key.
The physical keyboard attachment is a completely different story: The keys are large and backlit, make a satisfying click, and have a good amount of travel for rapid text entry. We like that a QWERTY layout shows up when you turn the phone to landscape mode, and that letters pop up after you hit them to confirm your entries, but too often the Versa typed the wrong letter or didn't register our first touch. Typing using the Versa's 3-inch touchscreen is not a fun experience. Keyboard and Other Attachment Possibilities Removing both is relatively simple: just push the switch downward while you pull on a little lip of plastic that's conveniently built-in. Here is where you'll also find the unlocking mechanism for the battery cover and keyboard attachment.
The left side of the Versa has the ever-annoying 2.5mm headphone jack (which won't accept standard 3.5mm headphones without an adapter), volume controls, the camera button, and a proprietary charging/USB port.
