"They really improved the new Env!"
Pros: great call quality, better signal than my other phone
It has a something that helps send messages quicker which prob contributes to better call quality.
Its a nice looking phoneCons: The qwerty keys are a little close but not that bad. I adjusted quickly to them.
Summary: I have had this phone for a whole weekend now. I have tried everything out on the phone and I am impressed with all of the features. I have the best signal I have ever had! You can not go wrong with buying this phone! These phones have a year warranty and if they have any durability issues you should know within a year.
Had to buy a new LG car charger because it doesn't match my old LG phone.
- The 3 mp cam is nice.
- just type to reply to a message. no having to hit reply or anything and you can do this from both internal and external screens.
- It has a bigger internal and external screen.
- You can do alot from the outside screen menu.
- It replaced the music button on the front of the phone with a contact button which is really nice.
- the high resolution outside screen looks good.
- it has improved ways to put a contact into the "send to" box when messaging. just type in the first letter of the contact and a list will come up to choose from.
- you can store more than 10 number in speed dial.
- loud clear speaker phone.
- great call quality
- it supposedly has something that helps send messages quicker which probally helps contribute to a better call signal also.
- this phone is easy to use and makes evrything you have done on your cell phone in the past much easier with less effort and time.
I do not work for Verizon and I am just a cell phone enthusiest. I have used cnet in the past to get info on new phones and electronic equipment. I just wanted to return the favor to all of those people out there that takes the time to give an honest review.
If your like me and not into the touch phones due to all the problems and durability issues, buy this phone. You will not be disappointed! That is unless your just a person that is hard to please which we all know there are lots of people out there like that!
Updated on May 31, 2009I accidently wrote the outside screen is high resolution but I actually meant the inside screen. It has a very nice bright and crisp inside display. It has a light sensor also to adjust the brightness of the inside screen compared to the light around you to make it look better.
Oh and I really like the new style of this phone, not only because it is a little thinner compared to the envy 2. It has a strong resemblance to the blackberry pearl.
Updated on May 31, 2009oh and I almost forgot to tell you that you can read the text message you are replying to while you are typing out your reply.

awesome phone review! ive been reading a lot of them on the env3 and yours is one of the better ones. but i do have a few questions..i have never had a phone before and im still trying to convince my parents to let me have one, but if they gave in, do you think this would be a good phone for me to get. i need it mostly for texting, and i want to know if it is durable and a good phone for a someone that texts a lot. if you could let me know that would be great. thanks!

Thank you so much for taking the time 2 do this review. I've been wanting this phone 4 a while but was not sure how good it would really be. It helps so much 2 hear from an honest opinion.

Asking you like I asked someone else on ehre in case one of you is on quicker than the other. :p
Has this phone felt extra warm to your ear? I tried it at a store and it felt warm and I'm unsure if it's the charger causing it there or if it's always that way.
Also is there any way to turn the call volume down? The master volume was on vibrate so I'm unsure what volume even controls phone call volume. The only other volume setting I noticed was keypad volume! So is call volume fixed no matter what? Itw as too loud.
Also when I called one person from the store I heard my voice echo a few times like it normally does on phones when you're on speaker, but I wasn't on speaker. Then I called someone else and it didn't happen.
