Messaging
With the internal full-keyboard, the enV clearly places high importance
on messaging. Users may use Mobile IM, access email, chat, and send a variety
of text messages in order to meet their electronic communication needs.
In terms of text messaging, users may opt to send a regular text message
in addition to picture and video messages. Text messages may be sent to
a total of ten contacts at a time, and contain up to 160 characters. The
text format may be adjusted in terms of alignment, font size, font style,
text color, and background.
Users may spice up their regular text messages with simple images, animations,
and sounds, as well as a pre-set personal signature. Quick Text phrases
such as "What's up?" and "You've gotta be here to enjoy this" help to insert
the proper sentiment with minimal typing. Users may save phrases in a given
text message to use as later Quick Text.
Picture messages may be sent to a maximum of four contacts at once and
feature up to 1000 characters in addition to a picture and / or sound recording.
Video messages work similarly, with the video substituted for the picture
and sound.
Third-party email access is available through Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0
network. Users may also download IM applications, including biggies AIM,
MSN, and Yahoo! Messaging. Chat room access is also available via Mobile
Web.
With a variety of available email, IM, and chat options, the enV should
be able to help users keep in touch. The full text messaging system helps
users contact friends on the go, as well as share pictures and video with
loved ones anywhere anytime. With the full keyboard, texting on the enV
is much quicker and easier than on traditional phones. The Word predictive
text feature also allows users to quickly message on the phone's external
keypad.
