 Smart design, great phone! February 8, 2007

I would highly recommend this phone even if you don't ever IM. I use the phone's qwerty keyboard for easily entering contact info, calendar events and making notes in notepad (things to do, things to buy, etc.). Camera is superb and so is the speaker phone. The most important feature which is the call quality is also very good. I have no complaints...only compliments for the team that designed the enV.
This is a NICE phone! February 7, 2007

After the disaster that was the RAZR v3m this phone met all my expectations.
Great photos! Nice and sharp. Easily take photos of documents. Handy lens cover like a real camera. Auto-focus slows shutter speed but improve picture quality. At 1600x1200 they are almost good enough to print. You can even print wirelessly by Bluetooth. Photos are about 500k in size, with a $20 256 meg microSD you can hold hundreds of photos. Oh yeah, make sure you get a Sandisk or Kingston, some of the other cheaper brands will not work.
Bluetooth is not crippled! You can transfer photos and videos right to your PC from this phone, transfer rate is about 33k/sec, not fast but OK. Also videos are captured at 320x200 and do not have a time limit!
Bitpim works with this phone's Bluetooth to backup your phonebook!
Great keyboard, I was amazed it works as well as it does, I do not IM but for putting in phonebook information it makes it fast and easy.
Bettery life is good, I get 3 days of use from 1 charge.
Size, it not super slim like the Razr but fits nicely in your pocket.
No real complaints, from a picky person its high praise.
Way to go LG!!
Bravo, LG! It's the smartest non-smartphone February 5, 2007

LG has done a fabulous job on the phone. The company has obviously incorporated features based on usability studies (or comments taken from the previous model).
Who this phone is probably best for: users who want a cell phone, would like to check email via the web sometimes (not a zillion times a day like some power smartphone users), prefer QWERTY keyboards, would like to send txt msgs or pix msgs, would like to check for movie reviews and place/times via the web, check for product reviews via the web while shopping, want a phone small enough to fit in their pockets/purses, do not want to pay $80/mo for service (up to $40 for data and the remaining for voice).
Yes, you can pay as little as $5/mo on top of your current voice plan to access the web using this phone. The $5/mo plan counts the web-access minutes against your voice plan. However, you can go up to $15/mo above your current plan (VCast package) for unlimited web access/video and music downloads and those minutes are independent of your voice minutes. You can look on the VZW web site for details.
A couple of minor downsides: 1) The ring tones that come with the phone suck. So if you are picky, you'll want to spend some money to download some personal favorites. 2) Although the camera is spec'd at 2 MP, you cannot send these hi-rez photos via pix msgs (I guess they're too large; you can send the lower rez pix though).
With that said about the camera, the lower rez pics that this camera takes is better than any phone camera I've seen (and I've seen many of them). The camera features single-point autofocus, white balance options, day/night mode, and flash. Maybe these features help boost the quality of the pix.
This phone is fun, functional, and cost-effective (plan-wise). No wonder it's a big hit. They are getting hard to find in stores. I had to call around before I found a store that had it in stock.
Great phone, but a little disappointed in Verizon's Service right now February 4, 2007

I was looking to get the V by verizon but the clunky size turned me off from it but I am glad that I waited because the enV is a lot better in terms of size and the way it looks.
The enV is great in that it has 2 screens, a great camera, has fantastic sound and is very user friendly. I like that the phone can dub as a mp3 player and a mini computer. I had no trouble going online to read the news or check email because the inside screen is large and clear. The bottons are also easy to use making it easy to type and surf the net. I was even able to go on some message boards with this phone!
The phone also has a nice calendar feature and even can calculate your tip amount for you when you dine out. The wallpaper choices that come with the phone are great as well--the colors are so vivid even if the pic is simple looking.
The downside is the fact that Verizon is not only expensive but I have been having problems using Vcast. Sometimes I get a message that I don't have a subscription to Vcast when I know in fact that I do and sometimes the phone software freezes up and the phone ends up "restarting" like how a computer does when it crashes.
Vcast is great in terms of music and ringtones-they have nearly everything but some songs sound low in sound while others play very loudly.
The phone also lets you use IM (AOL, YIM, MSN) but charges it as a text message. I hope Verizon comes up with a better way to bill the usage soon.
Anyway I highly recommend this phone despite my issues with Verizon's service.
great phone verry happy January 9, 2007
