Verizon Lg En V By Astra on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
The LG enV is a really great phone. The best part about owning it is being able to flip it open to reveal the larger screen and keyboard. Lets face it; it just looks cool! The full keyboard makes typing out texts quick and easy. It's really a chore to text on cellphones without keyboards. The large screen is also great for playing games that you can purchase from Verizon's "Get it Now" Feature. The games are expensive but they're a lot of fun. You can also buy many other cool things for the phone from Verizon, such as custom ring tones. The GPS feature, which is optional and costs a monthly fee, also comes in handy. You can find maps of your area and even search for the nearest restaurants. The phone also has an amazing camera feature that takes high quality pictures that you can email to yourself.
Unfortunatley, the enV seems to get really poor reception. I often find myself straining to hear what the other person is saying and the reception often cuts out. Given that the point of a cellphone is to be able to make calls, this has negatively impacted my score for the enV. The phone is also rather large and cumbersome and the battery life isn't great. However, this is still a top quality phone. The amazing extra features make up for the enV's shortcomings.

I've had the enV for about 9 months now and I agree that texting is so much easier. When I travel, the Navigator feature is awesome and I'd also recommend it. My only issue is that the phone sporadically shuts itself off when I am in the middle of texting. I was told that this could be a programming problem and am in the middle of getting a replacement, but thought I'd mention it just as an FYI.
