The Verizon LG enV 2 phone takes on a whole new design with it’s integrated keypad & d-pad on the face of the unit. It looks a lot better in our opinion.
In Verizon stores across the land. Far more than a mere text machine, the enV(2) features a 2 megapixel camera, microSD slot, GPS, and a big ol’ 2.4-inch display when the clam is opened.
The Verizon LG enV 2 phone is a slim and attractive handset, with a roomy keypad, bright dual displays, a good multimedia feature set, a full QWERTY keyboard, plus great call quality.
The Verizon LG enV 2 phone does not offer newer features from the first enV. Also, photo quality was mediocre, and the external display can be a bit too small. Streaming video quality could also be a lot better.
