Amazon.com Product Description
A great choice for high-tech power texters, the LG EnV Touch for Verizon Wireless takes the popular enV phone series to the next level with a 3-inch external touchscreen with tactile feedback for easy navigation and access to all phone functions with just the touch of your finger. And like other enV phones, it has a hinged side that opens up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and additional 3-inch screen--perfect for all your on-the-go text messaging and email needs. The full-size QWERTY keyboard, with widely spaced keys, accommodates the texting needs of the most demanding user. It also offers a Text Instant Reply feature, enabling you to automatically start a reply message when you read a message. 
The LG enV touch combines the best of both worlds, with a 3-inch touchscreen that flips open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and second 3-inch display. | It's compatible with Verizon's V Cast Music Service, which enables you to purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO data network. You'll also stay on course thanks to the VZ Navigator GPS turn-by-turn direction service. Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, MicroSD memory expansion to 16 GB, a multi-format digital audio player, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, HTML web browsing capabilities, access to personal email and instant messaging, Visual Voicemail, and a bilingual interface. Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about where EV-DO coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time. In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can be played. The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels, including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1. With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access the Verizon Wireless VZ Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and detailed color maps. And the Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone, such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone. Getting on the Internet is easy using the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0 package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages and view your favorite web content on your phone. The Verizon Wireless Media Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Media Center service. With Visual Voice Mail, you can delete, reply and forward voice mail messages without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions. Visual Voice Mail is the ideal tool for the busy mobile professional who may need to prioritize which messages he or she listens to first. Features include on-screen access to voice mail message status, save up to 40 messages for 40 days (or archive permanently), create up to 10 different caller ID-based greetings, and reply via call back, text or even voice mail. 
Flipping open the enV Touch reveals an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard that makes texting and emailing a snap. | With Mobile Broadband Connect (subscription required), you can use your smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with Mobile Broadband Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other devices. Phone Features
The tall, slim LG enV Touch offers a bright external 3-inch touchscreen (800 x 480 pixels, 16 million colors), which features tactile feedback when pressing buttons as well as an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use within minutes of its unboxing. The touchscreen is highly sensitive, so you only need a light touch with your finger to make selections. The front of the face includes physical keys for send/end as well as a clear key that doubles as a voice command key. The sides of the phone include keys for volume and accessing the camera/camcorder as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack and the MicroSD memory slot. Flipping open the enV Touch reveals the full QWERTY keyboard and a large 3-inch LCD (800 x 480 pixels, 16 million colors). Dialing function buttons are also duplicated on the internal touchpad, and you can set the phone to automatically open a new text message once you flip it open. The phone has a small internal memory and offers memory expansion up to 16 GB using optional MicroSD memory cards. The enV Touch's built-in address book can store up to 1500 contacts, and each entry can store 5 numbers, 2 email addresses, and a picture ID. The phone comes with multiple unique polyphonic ringtones, and it has vibrate and silent modes when you need to keep things quiet. The phone lets you match pictures with callers to identify them, and the enV Touch's voice recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a pre-programmed user's voice. 
Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder with flash, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, and MicroSD memory expansion to 16 GB. | Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), which makes pairing with a headset as well as other Bluetooth devices a snap. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible devices. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server (additional charges or subscription applicable). The 3.2-megapixel camera can snap still photos in four resolutions (2048 x 1536 (default), 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480 pixels), and it also features an integrated flash, white balance settings, multiple shutter sounds and color effects, and a self-timer. It also includes a multi-shot mode with a Smile Shot feature that automatically takes a picture when a smile is detected and a Panorama feature that automatically takes 3 pictures in sequence as you move from left to right. The phone can also capture video clips for as long as you have available memory. The enV3 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages as well as mobile instant messaging (IM). There's also a complete e-mail client on the device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard makes it a snap to type your messages. Other features include: - Music player compatible with MP3, WMA, and AAC/AAC+ formats; create and manage playlists on the phone and sync from your PC

 I have had this phone for nearly a year and... August 19, 2010
Dennis A. Amith (kndy) (California)
The LG ENV touch was my first entry to touch-based screens (I'm still waiting for the iPhone for Verizon - let's hope for early 2011) and I have had it for a year because if I have given a review when I first got it, I would probably have written and raved about it. But here is my feelings about the phone afterward.
After I purchased the LG ENV Touch, it seemed in July 2009, it seemed that right after, there were a good number of better phones that came out right after. Droid-based phones, new touch devices and granted, this is common and the fact that this phone did not need a data plan which was convenient.
But if you are planning to get the LG ENV Touch, there are three things I do recommend. And if anything, you can learn from my mistakes as I tend to drop my cell phones and well, not take the best care of them, like I should.
1. Buy a screen protector - Had this in my suit jacket along with my keys and sure enough, big nice scratch on the screen (sigh).
2. Buy a case protector. No, not the thin ones for aesthetics. I'm talking like those Body Glove protectors that are thick because I've dropped this phone many times. You could try your best and not try to drop it but things happen and in my case, it has created this warping around edge of the top right (obviously some screen damage).
3. Buy a micro SD card. No you don't have to buy an expensive version, don't be fooled by "cell phone only" as Micro SD card is the same no matter what. With that being said, I've read people not having any success but using Sandisk cards which I do use and I purchased it cheap like $2.99. Do not spend over $15 for one. Shop around.
POSITIVES:
- Great for texting and also for those who use it as an MP3 device to listen to music or podcasts. Great for those who need to store a database as you can read your excel spreadsheets, documents and PDF's.
- Great keyboard, easy to use.
- Not that hard to use bitpim on but much easier to load your ringtones on your Micro SD card.
- Ease of use. First time, it might take an hour but after that, you'll get the hang of it.
- Connection to your computer via USB to transfer files (to the Micro SD card) is easy.
- Quick charge via USB.
- Love the speaker phone.
- Easy to use apps.
- Views .wmv videos quite fine.
NEGATIVES:
- Battery life - Like most cell phones, you may need an extended battery depending on your use.
- This is where I recommend the case because I've dropped this and now the sensitive touch screen will not work that well, I have to flip it on to get it to work. To make things worse, I need to keep the lock on because it starts acting like it's possessed and starts acting on its own as if someone is trying to do several inputs. Weird.
- Photos are not as clear as my wife's Samsung touch phone
- Views .wmv videos but very few formats and they have to be several minutes not long. Tried to put a movie and video wouldn't work, just audio.
Overall, The ENV Touch is a very good phone for the basic use having a cell phone and of course, bells and whistles to accompany it. It's not a smart phone, so no data service is required.
Since mine is the first generation, one can wonder what LG will have next for the next generation of it. But learn my situation and get the screen protector and a thicker holder/protector and also a Micro SD card (since they are cheap these days).
 Meh - It's okay July 29, 2010

This phone isn't horrible, but not great either.
I too have had the "shut off" issue. But it's not a recurring problem, it's happened maybe 3 or 4 times over the course of 6 months. The battery life is pretty good considering no matter whether you're using it opened or closed there is a full screen display.
The external display could be larger, and the screen protector Verizon sells only covers the lit area - not a horrible thing, but the rest of the screen is scratched.
The operating system isn't my favorite, there are 3 ways to do everything and none of them are particularly efficient. I'd rather see one fast way to do things. I never use this phone one the web - it's not practical or easy to use.
I adjusted to the shifted QWERTY keyboard pretty quickly.
Hope this helps a bit!
Steeeeeep learning curve but I'm starting to appreciate the phone more. July 22, 2010

I had huge expectations for this phone when I originally bought it a year ago. My previous phone was a slim and tiny silver Razr, and upgrading to the Env Touch has been a tough transition because the Env touch is big and bulky in my pocket and but I often find myself trying to figure out the best place to place the phone. But since it plays music, video, and internet, obviously it has to be big and I'll stop complaining about how large it is.
The main problem I've had has been figuring out HOW to put my music and video onto the phone. I purchased a 8gb SanDisk micro card and came across a youtube video by Violingirl321 "How to transfer vids and pics from your LG EnV Touch to your pc with a micro sd card" that was extremely helpful in figuring out the trick of transferring onto the phone and the best way to synch the phone and computer together and how to transfer the pics and videos onto my 8gb micro card. The only thing I can think of as to why it is so difficult to transfer my music from my computer onto the phone is, one, I'm dumb, and two, maybe Verizon deliberately makes it difficult so people will just pay for the V Cast/ Rhapsody music subscription for another $15 or so a month.
My next dilemma was trying to figure out how to play avi movies (like Friday, Hangover, etc.) on my phone. I came across a converter called Videora that seems to work well into switching avi into mp4, and it's free. I've only got a 45 minute "Lost Room" tv show to work/play on the phone on my first attempt, but hopefully wont have any problems converting and playing a full length movie. Great picture quality I must say.
I have been pretty disappointed with the camera. Takes forever for the picture to take once the button is pressed and the pics usually come out blurry. I have used the phones camera for work/taking picture of homes for architectural purposes, but now just bring along my Sony Cybershot for photos.
One thing that irked me regarding the service is when I asked customer service to cancel internet access because I found internet (and still do) difficult and awkward to use, they told me that internet (and paying for internet)is mandatory for this phone. Unfortunately that was not what the Verizon worker that sold me the phone told me. He made it clear that internet service was optional and could be canceled at any time. The extra cost is not too bad, but it's the priciple of being told one thing...Makes me think next time I buy a phone I should write out everything the worker/seller promises and have him or her sign it before I leave the store! But I will say Verizon's service has been much better then nightmare T-Mobile's.
One thing that I am worried about now that I have learned how to load movies onto the phone, is will the battery last for a complete movie? I do have the problem with a fully charged battery going from 4 bars to 2 by connecting to the internet and simply checking my email for 5 minutes. I agree with many reviews here that the battery life stinks going from 2 bars to turning off just by using the phone for a small period of time.
In conclusion, after initially purchasing the phone I would have given it a 1 star, but after figuring out how to load it with my pics and music and figuring out how to play movies on the phone I will give it 3 stars. Just be aware that it sure does have a lot of flaws.
I like it, but... July 15, 2010
Jules (Tacoma, WA United States)
I have had this phone for 12 months. I hunted for a phone that would meet my needs and not require a 3G hook up. I wanted a calendar/dateboook, camera, texting, an alarm, and the ability to download new ringtones. I know, most phones can do this, but not all and many that do have features and costs I did not want. My needs are pretty basic. I use this phone all the time. It is always with me. I text my husband and kids throughout the day, use it for my alarm clock and datebook,and have the alarm set to go off and remind me of calendar events. As an impulse buy I also added the Verizon Navigator feature which is fun for directions, weather, and local event information.
I do agree that the phone needs some more enginieering. T9 is ridiculous and frustrating. It does not recognize word patterns. I really like the qwerty keyboard. The keyboard design fits well in my hands. The phone has made calls when it was supposed to be locked and placed in my purse. I have not had it turn itself off. My husband has the same phone. He has had problems with the phone resetting itself; backgrounds, fonts, and such.
As cell phones go and for my needs I would get this phone again. It is easy to use and I can work around the shortcomings. If you like T9 or keep your phone in your purse get something else. It will not be worth the trouble for you.
 Good when it works July 9, 2010

My primary complaint with this phone is that it will randomly shut off. Sometimes during calls, sometimes while sitting in my pocket. And it isn't because I accidentally press the off button, which would cause a power-down sequence, the phone is just instantly off. Sometimes it immediately turns back on, but other times it is dead until you discover it and turn it on again.
During a call, 50% of the time I cannot access the touch screen. So there is no way to input more numbers, whether for a voicemail passkey or to navigate an automated phone system. Yes, one could open the phone and type on the qwerty keyboard, but the speaker-phone turns on and now you're "that person" talking on a super-loud phone. Switching from the speaker-phone to normal talk mode (by closing the phone) shuts the phone off about 70% of the time.
When it isn't shutting off, it is a nice phone. The battery life is excellent. Clear, sharp screens, nice feeling keyboard, sturdy physical construction
