The LG enV2 is an attractive phone for the young text messaging set. From a full QWERTY keyboard to a number of multimedia features and even 3G support, the LG enV2 is a great choice for anyone who likes to send text messages. While that phone felt clunky, like a big toy, phone is elegant and compact. That said this phone is a better all around device, with better image and video capture, better messaging capabilities with the full QWERTY keyboard and better multimedia capabilities.
Like its predecessor, the enV2 doesn’t look like much when you initially glance at it. The enV2’s GPS functionality is an extra luxury, however you will have to utilize Verizon’s Navigator software, which costs $9. The enV2 still has a enormous Internal display, but the external display is shrunk down and the full QWERTY keyboard is squeezed smaller. Like most V CAST phones, the phone comes with an MP3 player that supports MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ formats. But beyond being a phone, this cell phone is like carrying around a miniature laptop.
The LG enV2, sans the big camera lens and the autofocus, takes good photos that are competitive with other 2 megapixel camera phones currently on the market but aren’t as good as the enV’s. Like other high end LG phones on Verizon including the the LG VX9800 and LG VX8300, the VX9900 has voice command software and text to speech. The speakers on this thing are amazing for such a tiny device, they are very loud, only downside is that when you plug headphones(2.
Aside from the new look, the LG NV2 is loaded with a number of features that Verizon Wireless customers and LG phone users, have grown to love and like. Sadly, you may have a hard time loading up websites other than Verizon’s affiliated web partners.
Don’t expect the Env2 cell phone to compete with the LG Voyager, but if you want a lower-end, smaller, and sleeker alternative to the Voyager touchscreen-monster, the LG enV 2 should do you just fine.
This cell phone supports SMS, MMS for picture and video messaging, mobile email and web-based email as well as mobile IM. The enV2’s camera can also take video with audio at 320 x 240, 176 x 144 (default) resolutions in either MMS length or max length limited by available storage. Discount cell phones.
The cell phone industry has been rocked by the announcement a little over a week ago that Verizon has put together a deal to purchase Alltel. This Verizon deal would make Verizon the largest cell phone provider in the country, a spot formerly help by At&t Wireless. So what does this mean for current Alltel customers? At the moment no one is really sure. The deal is set to be finalized at the end of the year.
This of course affects me personally because I have stated on here before that I am a proud Alltel subscriber. I am not really excited about the news. I could have easily went with Verizon but I have been very please with the service I have gotten from Alltel. Will Verizon keep mycircle? I am a big fan of the mycircle plan. If you aren’t familiar with the my circle plan, basically it is a plan that allows you to call any 5, 10 or 20 numbers in the US for no extra charge. If you are familiar with mobile to mobile minutes, it is like that except they don’t have to be Alltel subscribers. You choose the numbers you want to be free.
At this moment, I believe Verizon has it where you have mobile to mobile with other Verizon subscribers, and you can call your house if you have Verizon landline. Neither company is really known for selling discount cell phones, as they both usually have the same phones.
I know more details will trickle out as the days and months go buy, but I hope that Verizon remembers some of what made Alltel popular in the first place.
Today I will be briefly reviewing the Blackberry Curve. This is a high end phone release by Research in Motion (RIM)for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Alltel, and Verizon. This phones closet competitor is probably only the Apple Iphone. Blackberry is a huge hit among corporate executives and overall smart phone lovers alike.
The GSM version of the Blackberry Curve has gps for navigational applications. It has a stunning 2.0 megapixel camera, and bluetooth capability. Its push email system is second to none in terms of setting up and overall experience. I am currently using a Treo 700p for Alltel, and I must say that even the mighty Treo doesn’t hold a candle to RIM’s emailing system. The blackberry curve is also a music player so if you are riding on a gas scooter, you can listen to your tunes if you have some ear phones.
The one thing I like about this cell phone over the iphone, is the QWERTY keyboard. I have meaty fingers and typing on the iphone’s touchscreen is a chore for me. My wife loves it however, but I digress.
Its funny because as picky as we are about our cell phones, it was hard for me to find one single con. Then only con that I saw was that it didn’t capture video. Other than that, the reviews I saw for it has people raving mad. In a good way of course.
Will Blackberry crank out more phones like this to rival the soon to be release second generation iphone? That remains to be seen. However, the Curve appears to be king of Blackberry mountain.
