Strengths: The Voyager does have a good keyboard when flipped open. The phone's reception is very good, about the same as a Motorola razor.
Weaknesses:The touch screen is horrible!! You have to have tiny fingers to be able to control the applications and it's not easy to navigate through the web pages. This is an extremely poor touch screen phone.
Overall Evaluation: I used this phone for about a week and it does have some neat features; however, it's by no means worth the price. The touch screen leaves much to be desired. compared to the iphone, this phone is is way behind. The phone is also very bulky and feels like a brick. I highly suggest you stay away from this phone. Verizon also charges you for everything you try to do on this phone. Don't be fooled by the so call TV feature. You not only have to pay another charge per month, but you're limited to what Verizon wants you to see. If you want a touch screen phone, get an iphone, it runs circles around this one.

Strengths: camera, alot of bells and whistles, phone is just great
Weaknesses:Does not sit flat because of camera on back of phone and when the phone is opened
Overall Evaluation: I think if a phone opens and has a keyboard for texting , typing the phone should sit flat and not rock when placed on a table. other than that I love the phone. Nothing in life is perfect and even with that design flaw I still give it 5 stars.

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Signal strength; keyboard layout; can use opened or closed; great for viewing photos, videos, internet, games; sturdy build; stereo speakers; gps navigation available; battery life; good camera
Weaknesses:a little big for some, perfect for me.
Overall Evaluation: I've had this phone since january of 2007 (a year and 3 months) and I absolutely love it. It has proven to be an excellent choice. Not only is it super easy to text and browse the mobile web, but there are a million other things you can do with this phone that just work. And its sturdy enough to withstand my not-so-gentle use. (The last phone I owned needed to be replaced 12 times during the 2 year contract I had---yeah, a piece of junk.) I highly recommend the enV.One thing to watch out for: although this phone gets an excellent signal, if you are ever in an extreme area where there is no signal at all (in a subway, heavy metal building, out on the ocean, etc...) you will hear 'loss of service.' this gets annoying, and can be turned off only by putting the phone on vibrate. Just something to watch out for if you go out of service a lot.Other than that, I really love this phone. It really lives up to it's name too....the enV. People are always complementing me on it! haha... Go get you one!

Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Good signal, loud, very customizable
Weaknesses:Verizon locking down features (ie ringtones), camera cover doest stay on, flash is weak
Overall Evaluation: It's a phone you'll like for texting and view mobile web on. The weight and size of it, is alittle big for some people but I like it. It's rugged so minor drops and falls doesn't harm it, other than scratching from what I found out. A little strange to play some games on it. Good phone to call people on and it's feels comfitable when tucked away. Plus, if you look for a program on the web, you can hack it slightly to have your own ringtones so you don't have to pay Verizon for them.

Review:
LG vx9900 EnV
The EnV isn't the slimmest cell phone around, but it offers excellent messaging features and great multimedia options.
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.
