LG enV2 Cell Phone
What’s Good: Sleeker and smaller than the original EnV. Comfortable QWERTY keyboard and QVGA internal display make texting fun. Huge external keypad makes dialing easy. VCAST music and video support. Support for laptop tethering (phone as modem).
What’s Not Good: External keypad makes the phone look like a retro calculator, although I suppose that could be seen as a good thing. Space bar is small and oddly placed. Verizon’s menu system can be confusing. Limited Bluetooth functionality. Still a little bulky.
Bottom Line: Verizon and LG shrunk the EnV and the results are good. While the original EnV was an innovative but (very) big and expensive high-end phone, the EnV2 is smaller, cheaper, and slots into the middle of VZW’s messaging phone lineup. Text addicts who don’t need Voyager’s touchscreen — and additional size and cost — should find QWERTY bliss with this affordable and capable handset.

What's cool about this is that I can both verify to you that the LG enV3 is coming soon to Verizon and now I can show you some pics, too, courtesy of the folks at PhoneArena and their friend with a blurry, blurry camera. Seriously, why is it that people with access to top-secret gadgets don't have access to decent cameras?
enV3 isn't all that different from enV2, except that it looks less like a calculator on the front and sports a... It's that time of year ... No, not Christmas, Hanukkah, or Winter Solstice time ...

BlackBerry Storm got a lot of recent hype, but there are other worthy contenders for... Q. hey first off I would like to say awesome reviews on youtube. Ive been looking at three phones to buy; Nokia N95, samsung instinct and the lg keybo(env2). I am looking for a good internet phone with an awesome mp3 player and easy to text. Do u have any suggestions?
A. Thanks for the kind words - glad you like the reviews! Since you said "Easy to text" I have to ask if you like to use T9 or full QWERTY to text. If you like full... Here's Part 2 ... And yes, KravvyKrav is my YouTube alias. porky247 Asks:samsung instinctnow ive been looking for videos showing if texting is good, internet, radio, tv, video recording, pics, stuff like that if theres any way sometime in june before it comes out you can get it and show that i heard from engadget its supposed to release june 20 or something thanksKravvyKrav Answers:Hey Porky ...

And yes, KravvyKrav is my YouTube alias.And remember, the fastest way to get your questions answered is to ask them right here on PhoneDog. Showtymechef Asks:lg Voyager vs lg vuwitch cell is better i like them both. i think att as more ch to pick from. the att people... Pros: has a qwerty keyboard and vz navigater not heavy heavy duty but my mom works outside and has dropped hers who knows howmany times and still works just fine and looks ok....so its kinda in the heavy duty area not hard to figure out spent 5 min, with it and learned it all.you cantext with the flip open or closed and can do almost the same on the outside as you can the inside. Cons: frount keys dont work that well sometimes break the battery has a short lifespand and u dont get very good reciption.no side arrow keys on the frount of the phone.i personally think that the qwerty keys are 2 close together andi all the time oush the wrong button or the symbols button and enter a symbol not a letter.a small mermory,easliy scrathched. Summary: i have had 3 env2s alreadyinte first mounth i had orignally got the maroon color and about 9 days later we took it back bnecause of my keys on the frount.a few days later we took that one back becauseo f the battery and got the black one......everyone says the black one is better there not sure but all myfriends have the balck one and have had no problems so i got the black one and love i tno problems so far except for the battery but i text a lot so i think that is the reason why.bad signal to send....well i hate that but u can send in digital so u really dont half 2 worry about that inless u call alot which most of amerca is not doin there all texting.this phone si nice and small and light wieght besides my 1st bad expercince i love this phone and recomend this to people who are easy on there phones......and not like myomom who worksout side......easly scratched though. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful Pros: Battery Cons: Small keyboard-trouble texting-breaks easily-Just about anything you can think of Summary: I've been using my friends phone for a week...I don't know how he lives with it!!!!! It's a waste of money, if you're on verizon get a glyde or a voyager as your texting phone. 1 out of 33 people found this review helpful Pros: Large internal display, easy to text on internal and external, internal texting getting use too, bright screen, decent camera,battery life, music, EVDO. Cons: Small outside display, 2.5 mm head jack, outside buttons can stick and crack, silver outside color wears, video sucks. Summary: Pretty good phone over all. Nice phone for major texters. If you looking into getting it, i would suggest that you do. 2 out of 27 people found this review helpful Pros: keybored, camra. verizons great service. Cons: no side buttons on the ouside, bogus quality, and really every thing else. Summary: well, first my 7,8,9 and send buttons stopped work then my speakers blew and when someone calls if its open it sounds like 209858235 achually more like bhhhh. its terrible. my first one went black on the inside and white outside, and now this. im getting the versa. NOT recremended. 2 out of 16 people found this review helpful Pros: Qwerty, clear internal display, cool features, great speakers, cool form factor, great voice quality, small, great camera, great texting, amazing! Cons: limited functionality on external display, small external screen gives calculator-like look, no flash on camera, no v-cast tv but not needed, Summary: This phone is awesome! I love the keyboard and there's so many cool features. It's really durable and has a great battery life. I do wish that the front screen was bigger and had more functionality but I can live with it. 2 out of 11 people found this review helpful ive had the env 2 for a long time and i think it sucks and you should not get because the outside of the phone brakes all the the keys never work. i hope i helped Ok Stephanie I owned the enV2 for about 5 months and decided to sell it then. The main reason I sold it was bc I wasnt texting much at the time I had the phone....... But it was a nice phone. If you dont text alot DON'T get this phone bc the inside of the phone is useless if not texting alot. I like the enV2 bc it is a nice size but the front of the phone is constenly pocket dailing even with the keyguard on which gets kind of annoying......... hi!
ok so my plan, which i've just been renuing for 4 yrs, is a plan that verizon nolonger offers but since it fits my needs so well, i decided to pick an "older" phone when renuing my plan b/c my phone won't make it to 6 yrs (i had the lg vx7000).
anyway! so i chose the lg vx5500 b/c i like regular phones; not things that remind me of soap bars. well i've been thinking that i made a mistake in sticking to the boring and want to... Totally Voyager! every person i know in NOT impressed by the env2~! welll thanks for all the help guys! i actually decided to get the env2 in black and i LOVE IT! It's not too big and I don't like the rumoured photos of the env3 or the voyager follow up which actually (i dont believe) is a step up from the origonal voyager. Just like the dare and the versa! well thanks! In 1959, Goldstar produced South Korea's first radio. Many consumer
electronics were sold under the brand name Goldstar, while some other
household products were sold under the brand name of Lucky. The lucky
brand was famous for its hygiene products line such as soaps and Hi-Ti
laundry detergents, but most associated with its Lucky and Perioe
toothpaste.

I like the Rant all together. the voyager 2 is about to come out same with the env3 wait for them Buying choicesWith new service  With pre-paid service This item is not being sold with a pre-paid service service plan by any online merchant.
