LG - enV VX9900 Cell Phone Review

  My boyfriend and I both purchased this phone in March of this year.  He picked it out because of it's ability to have GPS, rather than having to go get a GPS for his car.  I went along with it, and now I love my phone- I don't even remember how to text the regular way!

  We both got phones plus a new service plan from Amazon, so our phones were discounted to just $75 (I believe down from their original $300).  I didn't subscribe to the GPS service, which is $9.99 a month, but my boyfriend uses it frequently and has found it very helpful.  Mostly, I use the phone for texting and talking, pretty basic.  I also love the pictures that it takes and the ability to zoom, change the quality, color, etc.  I'm constantly texting people pictures of things randomly because the camera is so good.  It's almost good enough to not need an additional camera for special occassions.  I really enjoy using the QWERTY keyboard for texting, rather than the front keypad (although that is an option).  I also like the larger inside screen when you flip the phone open.  It's nice to see more than three words of your text when you're reading/sending one.

  My only complaint has to do with charging.  While the phone does maintain it's battery for a very long time (several days on average), it dies very quickly.  That last 1/4 of battery goes by in mere minutes of talk time and your only warning is a barely audible beep- it sounds like the other person is getting a phone call.  It does end up charging very quickly though.  Fully charged in less than 15 minutes.
