Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
If you're looking for the ultimate in features and high-speed wireless broadband content, look no further than the feature-packed LG enV. Packed to the gills with the latest technology, the enV features a hidden QWERTY keypad, Bluetooth, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot (for memory expansion up to 4 GB), stereo speakers, an advanced MP3 player, and more. It's compatible with Verizon's V Cast Music Service, which enables you to purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO data network. Other Verizon service options include V Cast Video with clips from major networks, the VZ Navigator GPS turn-by-turn directions, BroadbandAccess Connect for using your phone as a modem to your laptop, and the Wireless Sync always-on email service.

The enV fully supports Verizon Wireless' exciting V Cast service. Learn more about V Cast.

The 2-megapixel camera on the back offers an LED flash, self-timer and 2.5x digital zoom as well as up to 1 hour of video capture (saved to memory card).

Verizon Service Options
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon's multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.

The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels, including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.

Getting on the Internet is easy using Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. Verizon's Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Get It Now service.

With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access Verizon's VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps. And Verizon's Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone, such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.

With BroadbandAccess Connect (subscription required), you can use your smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with BroadbandAccess Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other devices.

Verizon's Wireless Sync always-on email service (subscription required), you can stay connected and get the job done while away from the office--without a delay and in a secure environment. Email is delivered to your device in real time across the National Enhanced Services Rate & Coverage Area, and you get the ability to forward large attachments via email as well as access both your personal and corporate emails on one device. Wireless Sync offers strong security with AES encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard) technology so that unauthorized parties cannot access or alter application data transmitted over wireless networks.

Slim and powerful, the enV keeps you connected and entertained. See it in 3D. Check out the phone in detail: front and open.

Phone Features
The front of the enV features a large, 65,000-color screen with 128 x 160 pixel resolution and a standard dialpad complete with a five-way control button. Flip open the horizontal clamshell, though, and you're presented with a crystal-clear, 240 x 320, 262,000-color landscape display and a full QWERTY keyboard. Dialing function buttons are also duplicated on the internal touchpad. A pair of stereo speakers reside on either side of the display, and a microSD card slot is provided on the side of the device for additional memory expansion. There's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, while the rear of the device houses the 2.0-megapixel camera. Lastly, an internal antenna keeps the enV sleek and compact, and the provided USB data port ensures convenient connectivity.

The enV's built-in address book can store up to 1000 contacts for quick and easy management of phone numbers and e-mail addresses. The phone comes with built-in polyphonic ringtones plus a vibrating alert. More ringtones can be downloaded via Verizon's Get It Now service. The phone lets you match pictures with callers to identify them, and the enV's voice recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a pre-programmed user's voice. What's more, many of the phone's functions can be controlled by the sound of your voice, thanks to advanced voice recognition technology. Text-to-speech technology enables the enV to read emails and text messages to you, if you so desire. A powerful speakerphone unit means you can easily talk hands-free, while Bluetooth allows you to use your favorite wireless headset.

While the enV is a great platform for watching V Cast video content, it can also capture video that can be shared with your friends and associates via video messaging. The video unit records in MPEG4 format and can capture clips up to 15 seconds in length. Of course, you can also use the camera to capture still pictures, too. In addition to megapixel resolution (1280 x 960), the camera features an LED flash, macro and night modes, a self-timer, and brightness and white balance controls.

The enV has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages. There's also a complete e-mail client on the device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard makes it a snap to type your messages.

The enV ships with a number of handy tools, including a calendar and a voice memo application. An alarm clock and calculator are also included. Use the enV's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth headset accessory or to connect to a computer or handheld device to exchange and synchronize data.

The enV supports V Cast 3-D games, as well as other 2-D-based games, which are available from Verizon's Get It Now service. You can also customize the phone's wallpapers and screen savers to give your phone a look that suits your style. And if music is your thing, with the built-in memory card slot and the enV's advanced MP3 player, you'll never be at a loss for something good to listen to (memory cards sold separately).

Other features include:

• Bluetooth version 1.2 with the following profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), BPP (basic printing profile for text, email), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), HID (support for mice or joysticks), OPP (object push for business cards, calendar items, and pictures)
• Flight mode for listening to music and watching videos with the phone functionality turned off
• 13 unique ringtones; vibrate and silent modes
• One-touch speakerphone
• Speaker-independent voice-activated dialing
• Voice memo recording
• Music format support: MP3, WMA

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing toy, December 20, 2007

By	Raymond Hancheck "Lethander" (Carmichaels, pa USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a fun little gadget.. I spend a lot of time Im'ing so needed to upgrade myself to a easier phone. the keyboard is great,keys have enough space between them so that my mashed one too many thumbs can still hit the right keys when i want to.

The camera, works very well lots of options for quality size and such, also works very well in video camera mode ( you get a 30 second clip with sound).

The pictures do not do justice to the phone the color is closer to an olive drab metallic.. very attractive and suitind for a phone named envy

A couple small things i do not like though the cover for the charging. port.. I know i am going to find some way to break it off, its a little pop out swing panel. Also I am having some problems keeping the rotating shutter door of the camera closed ans as stated previously it does want to slide out of my hands also.

Overall though I am very impressed with this phone If the Iphone is out of your price range I would definatly give this one a good look.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a great review under the silver env My 2 cents here, December 19, 2007

By	SFHandyman (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

I LOVE IT. Only things I don't like: It's hard to hold onto. It wants to slip out of my hand. Would love some little rubber strips or some ridged grips. Works great with my Jabra bluetooth earpiece though so I don't have to hold it. Can't read the front numbers in basic light. They are beautifully back lit so when the phone is on in the dark it's easy, but in just normal light the white doesn't contrast with the green enough.

Love the removable storage. No more paying Verizon, just to get my photos off my phone. Adding my own music, photos has never been easier. The tiny SD cards are amazing. This phone can handle the 4 GB SD cards now. 4 GB in the size of your pinky fingernail!

I love having a full keyboard for texting. But now spelling errors are all mine - I can't blame T9 anymore. Stereo speakers was a plus. They aren't a stereo replacement but to share a quick song or listen at a desk, they are great.

The camera is really like a camera. It looks and acts like a camera when you use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it so far!!!!, March 2, 2008

By	ANNYOAKLE (PHOENIX, AZ) - See all my reviews

I've had this phone for about two weeks and it's just as nice as the reviews say. I had 2 flip phones in a row that I had problems hearing incoming calls on, although callers could hear me. I hated texting with the flips also, so I wanted more of a 1 piece design like my previous phones(that I could hear on!)and loved the keyboard idea. I also wanted to carry pictures and maybe music. This phone does that and so much more!

I haven't had any issues with it being slippery at all, but they did show me a silicone case that I bet would solve the problem. The camera seems great, I like the covered lens, and I don't think the covered door to the car charge port will bother me either. I do wish the time display on the front screen was bigger and I'm hoping when I finish the manual I can adjust it. It's certainly not a deal breaker.

I have people ask what kind of phone it is because of the looks, and the great display on the inside screen. I will update after I get the music and pictures set up, but I may need help with those features!

Overall, I love this phone!
