  LG the V for Verizon - great phone, lots of features!
Review created: 11/04/06
19 of 19 people found this review helpful.

love technical gizmos and after many years of owning used, purchased from E-bay, $25 phones, I went all out and bought from Verizon, with a 2 year contract, the ever so snazzy V phone. Since I travel all over going to horse shows, I wanted a means to get my email and check the web forums I belong to, and this phone was the answer. I have had it for 9 months now and the only problem I did encounter was that within 30 days the first one locked up and would not boot. I went to Verizon and got a replacement.
Features that I find very handy:
camera and camcorder-and the ease of sending these gems to folks, Internet access for email (Yahoo email works great!), Internet access for browsing the web, this is actually awesome! I can keep up with my news and forum sites all I want. the V-cast access is pretty fast, Bluetooth wireless headset and voice activation...heaven!,
The full keyboard makes text messaging a snap

Features that I don't use:
The V Cast video downloads, not enough of them, ringtones - I like the lady talking to me when someone calls, MP3 player - I do have a 1/2 gig card loaded with songs, but heck I have my Nano! A quick MP3 update... I actually find that the little boom box inside my phone is so good that I do use it as a stereo on occasion, and its not bad at all!

Another "like" about this phone is the battery. I never did purchase the longer life because the phone itself is already big enough. One day at work we were cramming through a bunch of tedious stuff in a big room. I had only one bar left on my phone but cranked the MP3 player and it lasted 2.5 hours on that last bar. I could not believe it!

  LG enV (VX 9900) - A great alternative to flip phones!
Review created: 05/20/07

12 of 14 people found this review helpful.

The new LG enV (or VX9900) is the successor to the LG VX9800. They have made some very good improvements and overall, it's a very good phone and a nice alternative to flip or soap bar styled phones. I have reviewed each feature on a scale of 1-10. Here goes:

Design (9/10) - Offers a load of features in a suprisingly small package. Compared to it's earlier design (the VX9800), this version is slimmer, less wide and just a tab bit taller. Edges are smoother and rounder. Biggest improvement is weight: from 5.19oz down to 4.6oz. Clamshell design reveals full QWERTY keyboard for ease of use with multimedia functions. Also resembles a digital camera.

Screen (9/10) - External screen small, but serves its purpose well for dialing, call functions, and as camera display for taking pictures. Internal screen is very big and vibrant at 262k-color, great for viewing streaming video clips and pictures as well as IM's.

Call Quality (9/10) - Call is clear and crisp. Most importantly, loudness is user adjustable and very loud!

MP3 Player (7/10) - Has just about the same features and use as a regular MP3 player (repeat, A-B, displays ID tags, music info, quality etc). Requires seperately buying the Verizon Music Essentials Kit (contains USB cable, software CD and earbuds) and a MicroSD card (for larger storage of music). After software is installed, getting music to the phone is pretty easy to do and playlist is easy to sort. Like all other MP3 capable Verizon phones, supports Windows Media files but not iTunes.

Battery Life (8/10) - Pretty good for a media phone, usual talk time lasts around four and a half hours, less if using features such as the online EV-DO network and VCAST. Stand by time rated at 460 hours.

Speakerphone (8/10) - Loud and crisp, rintones are clear and good sounding MP3 playback as well.

Camera/Video (9/10) - At 2MP, it's higher than most 1.3MP phones. Picture quality is excellent. Feels like the familiar digital camera during use. With flash, zoom, many exposure option and auto focus, it's camera feature is one step above other regular camera phones. Store either 15 second video message clips or up to 1 hour of video (if you have a MicroSD card for larger storage)

Bluetooth (8/10) - Supports many more bluetooth profiles unlike most Bluetooth ready cell phones. Can connect to peripherals such as printers, keyboards and audio equipment making it a useful feature.

MicroSD Slot (9/10) - Necessary if you want to store additional pictures, videos and music. Easy to pop in and very small (easily lost as well!). The cards are very cheap so its a great upgrade to get.

Internet surfing is quick thanks to the high speed Verizon EV-DO network and Mobile Web 2.0 supported mini web browser. Games and videos are available for download (for a fee ofcourse) through VCAST and the GetItNow! store. Although not a smartphone, capable of using IM service, email and chat options thanks to full featured QWERTY keyboard.

Overall, the LG enV has made a pretty nice improvement and continues to do so by offering it's users many different technologies in one cell phone. If your looking for a new Verizon Wireless phone, it makes a great alternative to the usual flip or soap bar style phone out there!

  Sweet phone!
Review created: 07/01/08

This phone does everything I want it to. The keyboard is great for texting and writing notes in the notepad. There are so many great features about it. The only bad thing is you can't make any of "my sounds" set as your ringtone, alarm or calendar appts it has to be a "my ringtone" The speakerphone works great though, I have tested it on several people and they can't tell a difference when I switch to speakerphone and the sound is really clear on my end. the phone has a great camera and camcorder with a slot for a memory card so you can transfer pics from the phone to computer and also store songs on the card to play throught the MP3 player on the phone. Of course I could not get along without a calendar and this phone has a great one. I am definately enjoying it.

  LG ENV... THE "V" PHONE
Review created: 06/11/08

I have five phones on my verizon family plan myself and and children... Rather than calling mom every week I get txts several times a week. My oldest upgraded to the EnV and the txt's I started to recieve actually had substance.. not only did I get the short txts lv ya ma... but he actually started writing me more about what was going on in his life... sure I still get the occasional replay "word"... however now that I got him talking.. I was having trouble keeping up with him. searching for the letters on the numbers was just plain torture. So I decided to see if I could find a phone with a keyboard on ebay since I wasn't eligible for an upgrade and lets face it.. I could not afford the 329 dollars a new one cost! THANK YOU EBAY!!! I LOVE THIS PHONE!! Not only can we txt up a storm the battery is amazing. I would run out of battery time on my old phone at least once a day... I have yet to run down this battery.. I run out of energy before my phone does. OH and I just downloaded some of my favorite music and have been enjoying it while out walking without having to carry a walkman or another appliance. I can just grab my phone and go. I do not have an I pod or an mp3 players so it has been cool downloading music online and transferring it to my phone.
If your into txting or need a phone with a long battery life.. this is the phone for you.!!

I liked the phone a lot. the only problem is the phone gets bad service. I am not sure if this is a manufacturer flaw. but they were very quick about getting the phone to me. I love using their delivery people because i have had nothing but problems with fed x and dhl. Thank you for the quick service i will shop with you next i need a new phone.

  We were not satisfied with the product and sent it back
Review created: 06/01/08
by:

We sent the phone back and have not been reimbursed for the phone. The seller stated that we could send it back if not satisfied for a full refund. The phone was overnighted back to the seller within the stated time-frame and yet have not been given back the money that was deducted from our credit card. We have sent an email to the seller and are waiting for a response.

The phone was listed as brand new, can't vouch for or against that, i can tell you it has a terrible sound to it. and only a few weeks after purchasing it, the front panel light is very dim/ burned out?????

didn't feel that the seller gave a damn, once exchange was made...

Review created: 04/29/08

i loved how it was described and the seller's communication. I didn't like the fact that the seller needed my payment for RENT and i had a banking issue due to moving, so i was a couple days later than i usually pay... but it all worked out - so smooth transaction!

I enjoy the easy texting... the quick access to different features. It's a little bulky, not as slim as some of the newer phones right now.

  Get your FREE PS3!!! I did it and it WORKS!!!
Review created: 02/29/08
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It
literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I
promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my eBay account
status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you
on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below,
register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete
just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise
your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other
sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different
pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else
to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not
use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Posterpass.com and paid only $10 for 4 posters). Look at the offers and choose the one
that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer,
simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to
do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on
eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which
goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your
own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4490020

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and
refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my
ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!
