LG EnV Review

When I was deciding to buy a new cell phone, I first decided which service. Well Verizon had a cell tower nearby. So the obvious choice is Verizon. So now was the hard task of picking a new phone. At work, I notice a few customers had the LG EnV. A DJ that works with us had this particular phone. I also wanted a phone with a keyboard. Since I do a lot of texting, I figure having a full QWERTY keyboard would be good. So I checked out Verizon website and sure enough the EnV phone is available for $150. If I waited a month, I could of gotten the LG Voyager. I basically the EnV with a touch screen like Iphone.

Now the next decision was picking a color. There was 3 colors to choose from. Silver, Orange or Green. Out of the 3, the orange really stood out to me. Silver look alittle ugly in my opinion and green was more of a dark green. Didn't look appealing to me at all. It was a easy choice for me to get orange.

So when this baby arrived, I fell in loved with this phone. The 2 screens looked fantastic. I fliped it open and there the keyboard brightly lite. I immediately started texting my friends. Taking advantage of my unlimited texting. Now let rate the phone.

Signal: 4/5 - Compared to my pay as you go phone, the signal is great when at work. At home, I loose about 2 to 3 bars. 4 bars total. But I have not had a dropped call yet.

Features: 5/5 - Keyboard, seakerphone (only when phone is flipped open), 2.0 megapixel camera, video wallpaper, 2 preloaded trial games. One is tetris. Forgot what the other game is. text to speech. Yes your text messages can be read to you. Add more memory with a SD micro cards.

Camera: 4/5 - Camera takes good pictures. It got auto focus. Takes about 5+ seconds to take a picture. Alittle long for my taste. Built in lens cover. Got it own picture button. So your taking a picture like a regular camera. You take a picture with the phone flipped open or closed.

Call Reception: 5/5 - All calls are crystal clear. They can also hear me fairly well.

Battery: 5/5 - Battery is great. I get 2 weeks of battery life. I'm guessing. It could be more. Never took the time to actually find out. After 4 months, still have a great battery life.

Overall: 4.5/5 - Great phone. I recommend it if you love to text like me. Holds about 32MB of pictures, videos or ringtones. Does have a slot for SD micro cards if you need more space. Although there is a tiny flimsy doors to the charging port and SD Micro card slot. You feel like your gonna break it off when opening them. I also recommend a screen protector for the front screen. Protect it from scratches. After 4 months with this phone, no worn out buttons. Everything works great still. Get this phone or the LG Voyager!
