LG vx9900 EnV Review

- The LG vx9900 EnV is a standard cell phone with a secret: At first glance, it looks like a slightly bulky, run-of-the-mill candy bar-style phone. But this phone opens horizontally to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. Available from Verizon Wireless for $250 with a two-year contract, the EnV is an impressive messaging and multimedia device.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: Nice keyboard. Long battery life.

    Weaknesses: Camera cover slide very easy.

    Overall Evaluation: GOOD. I hate to tell Icheme that were talking about the enV not the Voyager. Get your facts strait.

    Strengths: cool design, querty keyboard

    Weaknesses: Everything else. Poor signal, sticky buttons, pick the phone up the wrong way or squeeze it too hard and you bump a button on the iside and activate something you don't want to, like the power button. Camera is slow and the flash washes out the pics b/c it is so close to the lens. Email support will cost you $20 a month... on and on and on.

    Overall Evaluation: I am on my third, yes THIRD, EnV in 5 months! The first one had power glitches, the second would not program, this one has both problems, plus more. I have dropped more calls in the last 90 days than I have in the 15+ years I have been with Verizon. I don't blame Verizon, they have great service in all the places I go...it's definitley the phone. However, I am ready to drop them b/c they won't let me switch to a different phone. They just keep giving me a new one under warranty.... a new phone every 6 weeks!! This is gonna get old real fast. If you want a querty keybaord and a cool phone, definelty DO NOT get an EnV. I've had Moto's with no problems. I'll never get an LG product again, not even a refrigerator.... that should tell you something... they make refrigerators!! I'm sticking to companies that make phones.
