 Great if you like QWERTY December 18, 2007

Well i've had this phone for about a year now. I'm buying the LG Venus tomorrow so i thought i'd give a review for the enV before i say goodbye to it. Honestly, its a good phone and was one of the first to have a qwerty keypad option built in. But the problem was i enjoyed one handed texting so much from previous phones that the keypad didnt really get much use from me... so alas this was not a good phone for me. everyone looked at me weird while texting with the phone still closed. that was just easier for me. my tip to those who are considering this phone is to just get the new LG Voyager, which is the same exact design only with touch screen front instead of numeric keys.

This phone has worked well in the four months that I have owned it. I can say I haven't had any real "major" issues.
With that said, I only gave this a 4 star rating because sometimes when I ringer on vibrate, it won't vibrate. It just sort of bypasses and goes to voicemail. I'm not sure if that is a carrier or a phone issue. Like I said, it hasn't been a major issue with me.
Other than that, I would definitely recommend this phone!

Got this phone a couple of months ago and I love it! The keyboard is it's best feature and main selling point. Looks like the LG Voyager has stolen its thunder but i'm content with the enV until i get my two year upgrade credit from verizon. I do wish it had a better web browser but again looks like the voyager has taken care of that too.
here's a tip: some people have posted that messages can't be auto deleted but text messages CAN be set to self delete...flip open the phone...go into the main menu...go to messaging...hit the left soft key to pull up settings (it will be the bottom left of your screen)...go to "1. All Msg"...auto erase is option 2. its hidden but its there. :-)
Mostly great, two very annoying "features". December 3, 2007

Most of the good things you read are correct. Here are two terrible, very irritating things about this phone. They're bad enough to dock it one star for each one:
1) Its volume is too loud for MP3s with earphones. Even at the lowest volume setting, if I use in-ear earphones the volume is at about the max I ever listen to music at. With some songs it's actually too loud--and I like really loud music. The calibration is way off. This is a known problem and one LG definitely knew about before releasing it. The only way around it is to use over-ear earphones to dull the decibels a bit or use earphones with a built-in volume control.
2) WHO AT LG was responsible for the "lock" feature of this phone? The way to unlock the phone is by pressing the OK button in the middle of the phone. This is the largest button on the phone and elevated from the surface above other buttons. Result? My phone frequently (about once/day) will unlock itself and call people or start playing music. Most phones have a two-key combination to press that ensures this doesn't happen. This phone lacks that and having it frequently calling others is infuriating at best.
3) (Bonus) Don't bother with the data cable. I bought it, but the transfer rate is I estimate somewhere between 5-15k/second. It takes forever to move anything over. Don't bother; buy a microSD card reader from Ebay to get music/pics on and off the card.
Otherwise, the phone is great. Long battery life, superb screen, camera, MP3 playability (even if the interface for that is fairly unwieldy), large volume for the earpiece, but how LG let it get out with the volume issue and the keyboard lock issue I really have no idea. I'd bet your life that this was brought up in QC meetings before release.
Great Phone! November 29, 2007

I was use to having a flip phone- and wasnt to sure about getting this phone, but I am very glad I did. Its a great phone, epecially if you do a lot of texting. I like that you can text from the front or flip it open to text inside- where you can type very quick.
I'm not to fond of it only holding a certain amount of texts in the inbox- and you have to delete them, it doesnt do it manually. But that can be done realy quick by just hitting the delete inbox.
Everyone that I know that has this phone does have a little problem with the sound. Every now and then the phone wont ring - and the volume will be on loud. Or it wont make a noise when you recieve a text. All you have to do is turn it off then back on. It doesnt bother me enough to want to change phones by any means.
Definently a great phone.
