LG - envy 2 Cell Phone — 

Verizon LG ENV2 Cell Phone; It currently comes in two colors: black and maroon.

This is a sleek clam-shell style phone that opens to reveal a QWERTY keyboard and a large 2.4-inch screen. It is great for sending text messages. The front of the phone has a number keypad, call send, OK, call end/power buttons along with music launcher and voice dialing/recorder keys. You can make phone calls, launch the music player and listen to music, record voice notes and use the camera without opening the clam-shell. For all other tasks you will need to open the flip. The number keys are enormous in contrast to the small screen and have milky white back-light.

Open the side flip to use the full QWERTY keyboard which has 4 rows of keys including dedicated number keys. The keyboard has one Shift, Sym and Fn key along with two space keys (one on each side of the keyboard), a 5-way d-pad, call control buttons and a dedicated speaker launcher on the keyboard. There are two shoulder keys above the QWERTY keyboard and they get you to your messages and contacts.

The internal display still dominates and there are 2 stereo speakers on either side of the display. Left side buttons (camera key and volume buttons) are still half blocked by the flip, same as the enV. The micro-SD card slot and the 2.5mm audio jack are on the right side of the phone while the mini-USB charging/syncing port is on the bottom.

You can access Verizon's V Cast Music and Video service via the fast EV-DO data network. This phone is GPS-enabled for turn-by-turn directions and it did a great job of helping me get out of downtown Milwaukee, WI. The display is bright and very color saturated, and pictures, videos and games look good on the screen.

It has a 2-mega-pixel camera with video capture, I take pictures all the time. There is a micro-SD memory card expansion (up to 8 GB), I bought a memory card and have downloaded my pictures to a CD. The pictures are fairly good considering the camera is only 2.0 mega-pixel, however if you increase the size of the photo after downloading it to CD it will be a little grainy.

Other features include up to 5.3 hours of talk time, up to 520 hours (21+ days) of standby time, however with my 2 or three calls a day I can go about 4 days without having to recharge. 21days must be if you don't use the phone??  It's Blue-tooth Compatible for headsets and music.

I love this phone especially compared to my previous phone the Razor.
