Verizon LG enV review

Verizon LG enV

Verizon LG enV The new LG enV is the upgrade to the previous V. enV features a full QWERTY keyboard inside, numeric keypad on the front and comes packed with EV-DO data, stereo Bluetooth, 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, stereo speakers, microSD memory card slot and text to speech sms for reading text messages out loud.

The enV comes with a 2.2 inch internal color LCD and features an integrated slide-out QWERTY keyboard for easy access to messaging applications. The enV features Wireless Sync, the proprietary e-mail solution from Verizon Wireless. With Wireless Sync, customers can synchronize their enV with a home or office PC for easy access to new emails, calendar, contact, and task information.

The enV is the perfect device for V CAST and V CAST Music fans. The V CAST music store offers over 1.4 million songs that customers can download and play whenever they like. Bluetooth capabilities allow customers to enjoy their music by pairing the device with a Bluetooth Stereo headset or listen with the dual speakers on the phone. A microSD card slot allows customers to move their own music or video clips from their computer to the enV.

Finally, the enV is equipped with VZ Navigator capabilities. The VZ Navigator service offers audible turn-by-turn directions that allow you to locate nearly fourteen million points of interest in the U.S.A. such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs. VZ Navigator uses GPS positioning to tell you where you are, what’s near you and to give you directions to places, quickly and easily.

The enV camera has a lens cover and can snap pictures at 2 megapixel resolution, or shoot video at 320 by 240-pixel resolution. Bluetooth 1.1 support enables users to rock out with stereo Bluetooth headsets, and a microSD slot offers enough memory expansion to carry a reasonable selection of tunes - or record a lot of video. (Aiming at the portable music player market, the enV also has a "Music Only" mode which turns off all radio technologies except Bluetooth: now users can listen to podcasts without being interrupted by all those annoying phone calls.) The enV sports a 2.1 inch LCD display, integrated speakerphone, text-to-speech technology so messages can be read aloud, and offers up to four and a half hours of talk time on a single battery charge.
