Anyone else happy with their voyage?

Yes. This is the thread for PRAISE not complaints.

Since this is the thread for "Happiness Posts" regarding one's Voyage, any post not on this subject will simply be deleted. (Off-topic posts have now been deleted.)

If you're not happy with your Voyage, then simply create an "Unhappiness Thread."

If your disposition is generally one of unhappiness, then you'll need to get help elsewhere.

Thanks Dr Drib, much appreciated.

So, to keep surfing on our pink wave (replace pink in your mind with your favorite color), I have to add that I also love the origami cover for the Voyage.

Oh well. Back to reading. Books. On my new Voyage.

Those blatantly off-topic posts have now been deleted.

Exactly right. I'm looking forward to this feature alot. The other day I was petting my dog (she is the one who decides when petting begins, and when petting is done ) and I was unable to use my right thumb to turn the pages on my PW. I had to resort to turning the page with my nose.

And after showing it to my mom, I think there may be a chance of getting her to switch, too! She loved the page turn buttons!

In all fairness to both of you, there were only a few #$%^ posters in that huge thread who are/were acting like jackasses. It is not like the vast majority of the posters are acting that way. Unfortunately those few were posting over and over again and being extremely loud. I've read and kept up with what is now a 24+ page thread and very few posters in same would take that horrible attitude. I think most like myself who definitely see issues with the Voyage will be happy that others have no issues, at least as far as color variations in the screen go. I for one see a definite shift from brightly lit at bottom with pronounce blue tint to more dimly lit at the top with yellowish or cream tint and shadowy at the top as well. However, when I adjust the light just right I can pretty much get to a point of ignoring the issue, but it is still there to some degree. I will likely keep my Voyage as I think I can make it work for me. And I'm really happy that this issue is not affecting many people like some of the ones here in this thread. From what I'm reading in that other thread, the huge and vast majority of the posters are saying the same thing: We see issues but are happy that others do not. So please don't judge all the posters in that thread by the very small minority of jerks who were being jackasses.

I strongly disagree with this OVERREACTION and abuse of censorship. There is little black and white in any posts about the Voyage. I personally have seen almost no posts that absolutely loved or hated the Voyage and everything about it. The gray areas should be discussed in a non-aggressive way of course, and without over use of censorship.

I have to concur after noticing my second post was removed. I simply quoted my earlier post and said I decided the defect was not acceptable...and placed another order for the November 24th ship date. If I wasn't pleased in some regard why would I place another order? There was nothing negative Nancy about it.

I'm gonna risk deletion and say that I find it acceptable enough to hold on to for awhile. Happy? Not sure I'm there yet.

Now that is a dedicated pet owner. I'm imagining the nose page turns and smiling a lot. Thank you!

100% agree. There are many people who are having issues who are very gracious to those who don't. I respect a lot of the people who are having issues because their history on the forums here shows their sincerity.

I wanted a cover that I could hold like a book (and didn't cover the power button) so I ordered the Incipio Journal Cover. Wanted the leather one, but that was sold out.

I'm glad that Incipio worked in advance to have covers available when the Voyage released!

The problem is that this topic was clearly intended to be a positive one due to some of the more vociferous negative posters in the other thread and yet within a couple of pages the negative posts had showed up in here too.

[whitearrow]

Oh, one more positive thing to report. I haven't tried yet in a more heavy-duty waterproof bag, but I did a quick test with a ziplock, and the Voyage is very easy to use inside the bag, especially with the page turn buttons.

I'm still holding out hope that someone will make something like the old M-Edge Leisure Jacket for this model. That was such a great case.

LOL. Too funny. As someone who has two chihuahuas, I understand! It made me think of this cartoon.
