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.



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


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.



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

Vital Statistics
The LG enV weighs 4.60 ounces and measures 4.64 x 2.08 x 0.78 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.50 hours of digital talk time and up to 460 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 CDMA/EV-DO frequencies.

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


4 out of 5 stars Why the LG enV could have 1 more star   March 10, 2008

Overall, i fell in love with this phone...it has so many incredible features especially for the price. I was looking for a digital camera, an MP3 player, and a really good phone. Well buying this sort of killed three birds with one stone. I was very surprised to learn you can record a 1 hour video on the phone with sound! however, it can only be recorded to store on your phone...you cannot send it.

I haven't downloaded music yet for the MP3 player, but I'm sure from what i heard it will be no different from the original thing itself. Int terms of listening to the music or video through the speakers, they're not the best of quality. If you record something kind of loud, it won't really sound like the thing you are recording....only kind of a loud blare...you can still faintly hear it though.

The pictures are very clear (especially when outdoors). there are so many light features and shades and tones for the camera, it really is quite a deal. Indoors, however, the pictures can get a little grainy, but very seldom. it really depends on the lighting of the room. The films you can record do turn out a little grainy in comparison to the photos, and you can't move it fast at all or you'll just get a colored blur.

Another thing that i could have changed if i was to be very picky, is the placement of the camera on the back of the phone. Granted it looks very cool, most people i show it to think its just a camera when closed. However, when you are holding the phone and texting, your fingers are right on top of the closed lens, which slowly shifts...it can get annoying how it slightly moves on your fingers when trying to hold the phone firm to text.

on than these downsides, it a great, great Phone/Camera/MP3 player!



4 out of 5 stars Great phone, good features, perfect for texting   February 5, 2008

This is a great phone. After many years of having a flip phone, I decided to upgraded to a more full featured phone, and this one fits the bill.

The EnV from Verizon wireless offers a great mix of features and looks that is second to none. The phone looks like a typical "candy bar" style phone with a small (very small actually) though clear front screen, navigation, send and end button (end button acts as power button too) and number buttons. Good for making calling.

It is when the phone opens on the bias that the true genius of EnV appears. Inside is a full Qwerty keyboard, navigation, and shortcut buttons, and a gorgeous clear color screen.

Navigation is easy, with intuitive interface and easily personalized shortcut buttons to suit your own needs.

The phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera that takes great photos and videos. A nice touch is a lens cover that protects the lens from unwanted scratches and dust.

The phone has a SC card slot. A 1 Gig card will allow you to hold hundreds of songs if you purchase the Verizon Music pack that includes software, USB cable and headphone that double as corded headset.

It is a great phone. I didn't give it 5 stars because of lack of Macintosh support, and because of Verizon's insistence on turning off many of the great bluetooth features such as file exchange.

Overall this is a great phone. It has all the powerful features you come to expect from a phone, at a great price, and with great curb appeal.

So far its really nice! Only thing I've found that sux is that the chargers car/home have a silver shield that plug into the bottom of the phone and already had 1 car charger shield stick in the phone when I pulled it out. Seems like they could have made them a little more quality. That and You shouldn't be able to send blank text messages. Otherwise no complaints in the month or so Ive had it.

I was use to having a flip phone- and wasnt to sure about getting this phone, but I am very glad I did. Its a great phone, epecially if you do a lot of texting. I like that you can text from the front or flip it open to text inside- where you can type very quick.
I'm not to fond of it only holding a certain amount of texts in the inbox- and you have to delete them, it doesnt do it manually. But that can be done realy quick by just hitting the delete inbox.
Everyone that I know that has this phone does have a little problem with the sound. Every now and then the phone wont ring - and the volume will be on loud. Or it wont make a noise when you recieve a text. All you have to do is turn it off then back on. It doesnt bother me enough to want to change phones by any means.
Definently a great phone.
