Sunday, May 11, 2008Sarah - I made a super long, two-part review ... You can see both parts on this page: http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/lg-env2.aspx Enjoy ;-)

Sunday, May 11, 2008Hey Noah! I am going to get this phone because it's in my price range and totally cute! But I need to know the basics first. I mean I don't mind long videos on things that I am interested in. I watched the hour-long video for the Ipod Touch! Anyways, I really want you to do a FULL review (no matter how long) of the LG enV2. Thanx for what you've done so far! ~SaRaH~

Tuesday, May 06, 2008Hi I was just wondering if you (noah) could make a full video on how to text from the front and other features (V cast, etc.) If you can't I understand but I might be getting this phone and just wanted to know more about it. Thanks!

Monday, May 05, 2008Undertaker8211, I got mine at an update price for 86 bucks at circuit city, and I have a $50 rebate on top of that. Great deal and I love the phone!

Friday, May 02, 2008Yah Ryan smith I agree. I dont care about the smartphone stuff. Those phones are to bulky. The enV 2 does everything the original enV does but its way better to carry around.

Friday, May 02, 2008this phone looks sweeeet. anyone dissing it is just mad because they have the original one and they cant get this one. yeah the outside screen is a little bit small but you would mainly use the inside screen anyway, just the outside for quick texting in school or something. im getting mine in a couple weeks cant wait!

Friday, May 02, 2008I ordered mine yesterday, im upgrading from the original V haha, i just want a phone that calls and texts...im not down for all that smart phone stuff...and this looks like a real nice thing to switch 2..i got the maroon one though, cant wait for it to get here =)

Friday, May 02, 2008I got the original enV a week ago and I brought it back to the store because the lens cover broke. Turns out the enV 2 came out today so I took advantage of the 30 day worry free garuntee and got the last enV 2 in stock. Lucky me. Anybody who is dissing the enV 2 is just jealous. its sweet!

5/14/2008 2:28:32 PMIt would have been great if you tried to MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL WITH IT. Am I really so old-fashioned that I want to know about using it to making a freaking phone call?

5/10/2008 10:49:16 PMI traded in my VX8700 for the new EnV2 after about 3 weeks with no problem at all. Like Gitter46 said, you just have to make sure it's within a month of purchase.

Slimmer, sleeker, and sexier. The original enV was a very cool phone that felt like a brick. The enV(2) keeps the cool but sheds some size. And it's cheaper than the original, too. enV2 offers a dedicated music button, larger numbers,opens to a larger screen and QWERTY keyboard.

Hands-On: A day with the hot new LG enV2
I got my enV2 - the black one - from the UPS man yesterday and spent last night playing around with it before taking it with me on my appointment filled day in San Francisco today.  How is it?  So far I really like the form factor and internal keyboard, but am not so keen on the look of the external keypad and placement of the Return key.  I'm not sure what it is, exactly, but I keep hitting Return when I mean to strike the "L" key to its left. All in all, though, enV2 is the...

Several interesting new handsets were announced at CTIA earlier this month, but none have generated as many questions and emails as the LG enV2 for Verizon Wireless.  Between comments on the blog, emails to the site, and YouTube comments and messages, I get more "When's enV2 coming out?  Where's your full review of enV2?" messages than anything else these days. Lucky for you and me both, the waiting is just about over.  Verizon Wireless announced that enV2 will be available...
