This phone is the best value for the price in the Verizon lineup. The decision whether this phone is for you comes down to desired features versus drawbacks. Quality of the phone, style, durability, signal strength, clarity, sound quality, features, price and versatility are all assurred.
If you are a "texter"; love to listen to stereo MP3's; often have 2 hands free to use the phone; and adequately protect your phone in a case.this phone will be the best you have ever owned.
The drawbacks are:
(1) Because the "phone" is on the outside, keeping it in a case has a two-fold purpose. The first is protection. The second is that, without a case, and in order to prevent accidental button pushing (e.g., in your pocket), the phone needs to be locked. I have found it quite inconvenient to have to unlock the phone every time I use it.
(2) Many of the features, from messages to contacts; settings changes to multi-media usage; are best accessed with the phone fully open. This requires a bit of attention and the use of two hands.
: That's really it. If the negatives above don't bother you, you cannot go wrong with this phone. They do bother me, but I have not yet decided to change phones!
I know if I can adjust to the couple of minor drawbacks, I will be very happy with this phone.

This review is coming from a former RAZR v3 user. It took me a long time to decide what phone from Verizon would be best for me. I decided to research the env2 since a friend has the original env. In his words, "Are you kidding me? It's the best phone I've ever owned!"
The keyboard appealed to me the most. The keys are a bit small but I'm sure once I get used to the location of they keys it will not be a problem. When I first got the RAZR I thought it was very hard to text on, but I got used to it too!
I know some people didn't like the fact that the outside screen was so tiny, but the text is plenty big when it comes to incoming calls, viewing your contacts list, alarms, ect. So far I have yet to have my phone "unlock" and make a call without me actually doing it. Very impressed!
I can't quite give a review for the camera. I mean, I used it once and it takes decent pictures for a 2.0 megapixel camera. If you want a fantastic quality of photo.go buy a digital camera!
The sound was good, call quality great! It was very user friendly, didn't even need my manual! It's not over the top.just plain and simple but easily amazing!

See that face there? Thats the same face you will find yourself with as you get to know the Env2. This phone is a great compact phone that excels in just about every area that counts including price. Dont believe me? Just try this yourself, go to Verizon Wireless and compare the Env2 with any phone in the lineup and your will be suprised how well this phone compares to others in the lineup (gasp even the voyager!) Holding this phone in your hand feels very comfortable due to its rubberized backing on the phone and it feels very well constructed in terms of fit and finish. To be honest I was looking to for a reason to get one of the uber touchscreen phones and found flaws in every one of them. Not only mysel but the expert reviewers all agree that the top touchscreen phones seem to be lacking in the touchscreen department. Again read the expert reviews on the top Verizon phones and you will see my point. The Env2 takes great pictures with the 2MP camera and the internal screen is beautiful to look at. I like the look of the phone on the outside, it seems refined and classy and have too many features to list here. If you buy this phone I guarantee you often find a smile on your face while using this phone knowing that you saved over $100.00 on this phone versus having the Glyde and Voyager and even Venus for that matter. Give it a try I know you will like it. Oh and the Maroon color is very nice. Enjoy!

I was in love with my original enV, but after two years, it was worn out and deserved a good retirement, so i made the mistake of buying the enV2 when I reupped my contract in January of 2009.
It worked fine for a while, but then in May 2009 I started having major errors. The phone would EAT through a battery in about 12 hours sittign mostly idle, and other times it would last a day and a half, even with heavy use texting, pictures etc.
Then the phone started shuttign off without notice. You'd pick it up and it would be turned off. I'd turn it on and be deluged with voicemails, texts WHERE ARE YOU WHY IS YOUR PHONE OFF?
Then it got to the point where you'd be in the middle of sending a text and the whole phone would just DIE. No power off screen with teh Verizon logo, nothing. The screen would just go black.
I got a new one through my insurance plan with Verizon.
That one had just as many problems.
The OK button onthe outside of the phone broke within two months. This is the button that unlocks the keys and allows you to dial the phone, so without a working OK button, you're screwed.
Then it only started working if you smacked the phone on a relatively soft surface, like a cardboard box or a paperback novel. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HIT A PHONE TO MAKE THE BUTTONS WORK!
Then the OK button on the INSIDE of the phone started breaking and getting choosey. The ok button WOULD NOT WORK for certain functions while it'd work fine for others.
I also got a new battery for it. I like to have a spare battery for my phones just incase you need it. It is a genuine LG battery, but when I put it in the phone and it just gave me a gray screen that said "Use Genuine Battery" and a 10 second powerdown counter.
I finally just gave up on this wretched piece of equipment and ordered a flip phone on eBay to ride out the rest of my contract. I'm back to using my old school silver enV for now, which is hanging on for dear life until I can get my new phone delivered.

I really like my enV2.i switched from at&t and had a Blackjack II.WOW i love my enV2 sooooooooo much more its not evn funny.I HATE windows mobile.but anyway back the enV2.its GREAT to text on i loovee it thats the main reason i bought it.I was stuck between this and the Voyager but didnt want the touchscreen, but the voyager keyboard is nicer to text on. I actually like the keyboard on the original enV better than on the enV2 but its still nice and alot smaller than the 1st one. The battery life isnt the greatest.it lasts about two days to 1 and a half depending on how much i text that day. The little screen on the front doesnt bother me at all but i do prefer the screen on the orginal enV because you can do about everything on it.on the enV2 you have to open the phone to do just about everything. I suggest they update the enV2 and have a bigger screen on the front with more functions,, it is possible without changing the keypad. Ohh and i reallly DONT like the vibrate, you can hear it and not feel it which is pointless because you put it on vibrate for people not to hear your phone.its just a loud BUZZZ and annoyingg. But this is a really nice phone but if you have fat fingers def get the voyager.i have no problem but my friend does hah but i guess you could adjust to it. i give it a 4 outa5 because there are a couple things i like on the orginal enV over this one
