What Customers Say About LG enV Orange Phone (Verizon Wireless, Phone Only, No Service):

Some of the functions are harder to find or make shortcuts to. And when they came out with my favorite color, I had to upgrade. So for the very basc cell phone owner, it's:Beautiful/ great styleDurable- very solid constructionLots of function toolsVery customizableGreat picturesGreat battery lifeLots of reception barsGreat for emergenciesAnd for a texter like me it is a must.I'll keep this phone until it falls apart. I don't play music on it currently so with general use and a lot of texting my battery lasts 4 to 5 days without a charge. I still love my phone. I promised to keep it until it completely fell apart. The old enV did have better ring tone options IMO. This phone has often has two or three EV and TX bars.

It still beats other phones we've had. I splurged on the first enV before it became popular and the came out with a less expensive version. I also use the calendar for reminders on everything from an internet bid to doctors appointments and birthdays. The calendar and alarm function has many options. It also takes quality pictures and video that surpass any cell phone we've had.

I'm not sure why because my husband's new phone still doesn't get a signal so we don't have new towers. When he sent it back I could set it as a ring tone lol. Unless they surprise me again. To get my own ring tone I video'd a song playing on my computer and sent it via text to my husband. They have added some usability perks too. The power went out during a storm here in the country and I used the internet function to watch the radar which was very nice. This is actually the third release.

I use the notepad function a lot to remember things when paper/pen/computer isn't nearby. All other cell phones we've had barely got a bar or two. This one is a bit thinner, and I find the texting a bit more awkward. I get amazing reception for the middle of nowhere with this phone.

If you are a texter here is the phone for you the singal is great were i live i use to not get barley anything this i get 4 bars. Sending a txt is fast and same with calling someone. Buy it~ it is great. This phone is the best i ever had. Everything works and it is a little on the bulky side but i really got use to it i love the full keyboard not just for texting but for adding contacts too.The photos it takes are soooooo clear and come out soo nice i like the orange it is a fun color to have but i like birght colors presonally.

This happened even when I tried to carefully do it. This was not the first LG I tried, this was the second after trying the Voyager which I was not pleased with mainly because of the fickle touch screen. I will be giving the Voyager three stars and the Venus five stars. Also, what bothered me about the EnV is the logic of actually using the phone and it's different functions. I turned in the Voyager and picked up this orange version of the EnV as opposed to the silver version only because the upper inside left key is a short cut to other menus as opposed to only an email key on the silver. I gravitated toward an LG phone because of what I felt was it's good reputation. It's a bit more money at the time I am writing this, but well worth it in so many ways. (I purchased the phones at Best Buy) Anyway, the ear speaker in the EnV performs more clearly than the Voyager but not as well as the Venus.

Same with all the keys on the face. I changed from Sprint to Verizon after being a Sprint customer for over a decade. The front screen on the EnV is so small that the print is hard to read too. The worst is how small the letters are on the front numbered buttons if you should happen to want to use them. Venus wins there too.

Same goes for the speaker phone. If a full keyboard QWERTY is not a necessity to you, then I would pass on this one and try a Venus. Hope this helps. The Venus is easy to read, as is the Voyager. I am sure a woman with smaller hands would have no problem. They are tiny even for a young person's eyes. I am a middle aged, six foot tall guy with average sized hands for a man.

I much prefer the Venus because the button locations and choices it gives you makes more sense how it is designed and functions. I might as well throw in here that I also returned this EnV phone the very next day and after really reading through all these reviews on LGs on Amazon, settled on the Venus which I love. Not sure how the green EnV is laid out.My main complaint of this phone is that the buttons on the front are so close together that I had a very hard time choosing (for example) the bottom arrowed button and instead would get the ok button or the button below the down arrow. I have no complaints about the buttons on the inside although they are a little closer together than those on the Voyager.

Not sure. Not real handy when you want to quickly capture a fleeting moment. Voices sound slightly muffled.

Also, it takes 4 or 5 key strokes to get the camera ready to take a picture. Camera is much, much better than that on the razr though owing to the higher megapixels. The razr took 1 or possibly 2 strokes.

I've had my enV for over a month now and I'm generally happy with it.EXCEPT.call quality not as good as the razr I had prior to the enV. Different carrier. It also has a lot more settings and a flash much like a regular point and shoot digital camera.

This may be an issue with Verizon rather than with the phone. The razr I replaced with the enV was through AT&T so maybe that's the reason.

I once droped out of a second story window and it still worked well. I has great gadgets. It is the best phone I've ever had. This is a great phone. I was looking for a durible, fun, bright phone and this is perfect.
