LG enV2 is One Sexy, Slim Sequel
March 31st, 2008 by Mark Spoonauer 
If the LG enV2 was allowed to compete on The Biggest Loser, it would win hands-down. Not only is this messaging phone thinner and lighter than its predecessor, making it a lot easier to stuff into your front pocket, this QWERTY phone boasts a larger internal display and an improved dialpad. Weighing in at a svelte 4.2 ounces and measuring a relatively trim 0.65 inches thick, the enV2 is available in a black or maroon finish, and you’ll be able to get one this month for $129 (with two-year contract and after $50 rebate).
This fit-and-trim handset supports all the usual service suspects, including AOL, Yahoo, and Windows Live for instant messaging, as well as VZ Navigator, V Cast Music and Video. The only thing missing is V Cast Mobile TV, but I suppose that feature helps Verizon upsell customers on the touch-enabled Voyager. Add in dual stereo speakers, stereo Bluetooth, and a 2-MP camera that shoots YouTube-friendly 320 x 240-pixel footage, and you have one of the hottest phones at CTIA 2008. We’ll bring you hands-on impressions ASAP.

I HATE THIS PHONE!!!! Can’t read text messages from the front screen, when taking photos with the cover closed you only see 1/4 of what you’re taking. AND when calling a contact if you end the call you can’t get to any other numbers in the contact record. You have to go through all the menus to get to the contact record to pick another number.
DID I SAY I HATE THIS PHONE????? Don’t buy it! Keep your old enV’s

I love the phone. Like all phones there are definately some flaws. I do have to agree with user: Momyar, that the fact you can only see 1/4 of a picture you ar taking with the cover closed is quite obnoxious. I also would like to add that if a text message recieved/sent is more that 160 characters, you must open the phone to view, because for some odd reason the tiny front screen can’t handle the capacity of that many words. (Maybe a fix for the next software update perhaps?) I am also very big on keeping my phone nice for the time I have it… so another flaw is that the silver trim around the phone was a poor choice. I have only had the phone for 2 months and the silver trim is already beginning to peel. Other than the “sad” front screen capacity and the poor choice of cosmetics, the phone has great sound and picture quality, as well as amazing reception.
