Weak Sound.......2007-12-31
I bought this phone without checking it out. The sound is too low and the phone is slippery and hard to hold on to. I drop it everyday. Bad sound, I am thinking about going back to my old phone thats doing just fine, but battery was getting shorter each day. Had to charge it. Wish I could find a battery for it.
Good thing about the new one is if you text message it is a jewel.
WOW!.......2007-12-26
The stars are stuck. If they worked I would rate it a FIVE star.
I got this phone when it first came out and have been very pleased with it. Awesome photographs (and you can easily send them to your computer via e-mail). The calendar is wonderful! Great for appointments without going to a full PDA. I like the full keyboard and the user friendly keypad.
The one thing I would strongly suggest is to READ THE DIRECTIONs. I think most of the problems will disappear for those who do that.
The phone itself is good, but certain features make it VERY annoying.......2007-12-26
I have had this phone for over a year now, and I will tell you, its not that great. First of all, it has some serious issues with turning itself on. This phone actually got me a detention. It sits in my pocket and somehow it gets bumped and turned on. And then once it is on, it can ring, but of course you can put it on silent. BUT THEN, with a slight touch of just 2 buttons, it goes to VCAST and starts playing music. I CAN'T stand that. Another thing is that it is just overall too thick to fit in a pocket. Also, if you are talking on speaker and you aren't holding it right near your face then the person you are talking to can't hear you, which sort of defeats the purpose of speaker phone. Some people might love this phone, but I guess its just not for me. Dont let this discourage you from buying it, unless the littlest things bother you like me.
I just wish Verizon would get a sidekick quality phone (the voyager is very hard to use 2)
Great if you like QWERTY.......2007-12-18
Well i've had this phone for about a year now. I'm buying the LG Venus tomorrow so i thought i'd give a review for the enV before i say goodbye to it. Honestly, its a good phone and was one of the first to have a qwerty keypad option built in. But the problem was i enjoyed one handed texting so much from previous phones that the keypad didnt really get much use from me... so alas this was not a good phone for me. everyone looked at me weird while texting with the phone still closed. that was just easier for me. my tip to those who are considering this phone is to just get the new LG Voyager, which is the same exact design only with touch screen front instead of numeric keys.
Envied for my enV.......2007-12-11
This phone has worked well in the four months that I have owned it. I can say I haven't had any real "major" issues.
With that said, I only gave this a 4 star rating because sometimes when I ringer on vibrate, it won't vibrate. It just sort of bypasses and goes to voicemail. I'm not sure if that is a carrier or a phone issue. Like I said, it hasn't been a major issue with me.
Other than that, I would definitely recommend this phone!

Customer Reviews:
GREAT PHONE!.......2007-11-29
I was use to having a flip phone- and wasnt to sure about getting this phone, but I am very glad I did. Its a great phone, epecially if you do a lot of texting. I like that you can text from the front or flip it open to text inside- where you can type very quick.
I'm not to fond of it only holding a certain amount of texts in the inbox- and you have to delete them, it doesnt do it manually. But that can be done realy quick by just hitting the delete inbox.
Everyone that I know that has this phone does have a little problem with the sound. Every now and then the phone wont ring - and the volume will be on loud. Or it wont make a noise when you recieve a text. All you have to do is turn it off then back on. It doesnt bother me enough to want to change phones by any means.
Definently a great phone.
Good Phone.......2007-11-04
I really love this phone to text with. The pics come out grea. I am disappointed in the storage though and the batery capacity. It only stores about 40 texts and I have to charge it every day.
Awesome Choice.......2007-10-16
This is one of the most AWESOME phones I have seen. I LOVE mine. I got a different phone (against my better judgement) and it was a piece of ----, so I traded it in for the orange EnV and I just don't think I will ever go back to anything else. It takes awesome pictures, videos, and everything. Tons of room, and one of the loudest ringers I have hear (which is nice for someone who has trouble hearing or works in busy and loud areas). Easy to work, and wonderful. A lil on the larger side for a phone, and I had a bit of a hard time finding a case, but I got a case through Verizon, and I am not completely content. I would not trade it for any other phone out there. Not even the I-Phone. Definately great for the texter in the family. And definately worth a try. You may never go back either. I loved my RazR, but I love this one much MUCH more.
Very good phone. In-depth review with samples........2007-10-13
The background paragraph: I work for a cell phone software company porting games to the many cell phones available on the market. What that can be boiled down to is that I have a lot of knowledge of handset quirks/bugs, stability, and look+feel, but not much knowledge for comparing handsets on how well they operate when placing actual phone calls, or trying to carry the phone around in your pocket, etc. It should also be noted that I mainly have experience with brew phones (Verizon, Alltel, US Cellular, Cricket, etc), and next to no experience with j2me phones (Sprint, Cingular, etc). The vx9900 is a brew device.
When it came time to upgrade my old LG vx8100, I choose the LG vx9900 Orange (enV Orange). Based on my own personal needs, I feel it is the best brew device on the market at the time of this writing. I did not give it a 5-star rating because the web browser on all current Verizon phones leaves something to be desired. This looks to be changing for the new models of phones being released later this year.
Below, any point which is a positive editorial is prefixed with a "(+)". Any point which is a negative editorial is prefixed with a "(-)". A neutral editorial is denoted with a "(.)".
SHAPE
-----
(+) The phone feels good in the hands. Not every phone does. Its edges are well curved.
(.) Nothing special about how well it is carried in a pocket. It's not as light as the various razr's, but it is the slimmest brew device that offers a qwerty keyboard.
(+) As a previous reviewer pointed out, the 9900 actually LOOKS like a camera when it is used for that purpose. See the "camera" section below for more details.
(-) When the device is opened, and if is placed on a desk to type on like a mini desk-top computer, it will wobble. This is because the back of the phone is not level, on account of the camera lens which protrudes 2mm. The wobble does make using the keyboard in this manner impractical, though not impossible. Luckily, it won't damage the lens due to the lens cover.
HOWEVER: Something which I have not read in other reviews which have written about this design flaw is that the wobble can be reduced to a practical level (but not eliminated entirely) if the phone is opened to a full 180 degrees. A little-known feature of the device is that it has two available angles when opened, about 135 degrees and 180 degrees. At 180 degrees, the wobble is reduced, but now the screen is flat with the table and so is not as convenient to look at, though not in a crippling way.
In field testing, I find that I'm rarely in a situation where I need to use the keyboard while sitting at a desk anyway. In those situations, there's usually an actual computer in front of me. Rather, I use the phone's keyboard when out on the town, in which case it is held in the hands. The thumbs do get sore when typing in this manner, however.
KEYBOARD
--------
(+) Along with its predecessor the vx9800, the vx9900 offers the best keyboard available on brew cell phones, hands down. Most notably because it has a dedicated row for the numeric keys. On all other qwerty brew devices, this is not the case... with the exception of the LG ax490, although its keyboard is impractical for other reasons (do a Google image search on the device to see what I mean). The keys give a quiet, mechanical "click" when pressed, which is nice feedback.
(.) A number of reviews have complained about the space bar not being positioned at the bottom center of the keyboard. Personally, I've had no trouble adapting to the space bar positions.
(.) A number of reviews also criticize the positioning of the volume keys. When the clamshell is opened to its 135 degree position, it's difficult to wedge your finger behind the screen to reach the volume key. However, when I need to access those keys I simply pop the screen down to its 180 degree position, easily play with the keys to my heart's content, then pop it back to 135 degrees.
(+) Unlike its predecessor the vx9800, the vx9900 hinges its clamshell in such a way that the screen folds behind the keyboard. This makes access to the two soft keys easier.
(+) The symbols written on the keys light up, making it easy for night time use. Handy since I mainly use the keyboard when out on the town.
(.) Some of the keys are shaded grey rather than black to make them stand out as keys to use as an alternate directional pad (there's already a dedicated directional pad on the keyboard.) As a game developer, I can fill you in that Verizon REQUIRES games to accept these keys as alternate directional input for the vx9900. So you know it is supported. However, I don't find them any easier to use than the dedicated directional pad. The only advantage I can think of is it may be more natural if you are left handed.
(+) The vx9900 Orange has a special button in the upper left corner labeled "enV". For the silver version of the vx9900, this button is instead labeled "email". Though I have not tried the button on my company's silver vx9900, I believe I've read that it only can bring up the email app, just like it's labeled. For the enV Orange, however, you can assign this button to any of a number of shortcuts. Unfortunately, you can not assign it to be ANY shortcut you'd like (what I'd really enjoy would be to have it launch the web browser to a specific URL of my choice.) Instead you can only assign it to one of 10 options granted to you (Email (which launches the web browser), Text Message, Video Message, Mobile IM, Wireless Sync, V CAST Videos, Picture Message, V CAST Music, Pacman, and Tetris). Holding the button down launches your assigned shortcut. Tapping the button brings up a list of all the mentioned shortcuts, for you to scroll to and then launch.
(+) There's a dedicated speaker-phone button right on the keyboard.
PHONE CALLS
-----------
(+) I've yet to experience bad reception on my end.
(.) I do not know if I've had dropped calls due to my phone. There have been calls dropped, but the person I called blamed it on their phone.
(-) A complaint I've read about numerous times for the vx9900 is that it will sometimes launch a speed-dial when you are not using the phone. I've never used speed dialing on my previous phones, and after reading this complaint I've made a decision to not use it on this phone. Having not tried it, I can not comment on this. However this complaint has arisen enough times that it should be taken seriously if you are someone who enjoys speed-dial features. An alternate may be to use voice-command dialing instead.
As an aside, one of the reviews I read attributed this defect to the clamshell getting wedged in a carrying case or purse in such a way as to open its clamshell slightly, which would deactivate the key-guard for a few seconds, allowing accidental key presses during that time to launch their assigned speed-dial numbers. Out of curiosity I compared my enV Orange against my company's silver enV to see how far the clamshell needed to be opened in order for the key guard to be deactivated. My Orange needed to open by a smaller amount for this condition to be met.
CAMERA
------
(+) The phone LOOKS like a camera when you use it as one. It is held horizontally, and you tap your finger on the top right corner to snap a shot.
(+) It has a lens cover.
(-) If auto-focus is activated, which you will want to use, then photos are not taken instantaneously. You have to wait for the click.
(+) 2.0 megapixels.
(+) Decent frame rate for videos. Better than my vx8100. There have been times when it looked choppy, but often it looks fluid. Examples are below.
(+) If you have a memory card, videos recorded to the card are not given a short time limit.
(-) When examined closely, the photos look grainy. I suspect, but have not confirmed, that the camera does not have the full range of millions of colors we are used to on computers. To see what I mean, take a look at the example photo linked to below. Look closely at the pink of the toy in that photo, or the red bow on the toy. The toy is supposed to be smooth plastic, but it looks a bit grainy.
If a photo is shrunk down (and they are rather large), this can eliminate the graininess.
(-) Videos look very grainy.
SAMPLE PHOTOS and VIDEOS:
I've put onto the web some photos/videos of a friend and I dismantling an Etch-a-Sketch to see what was inside. With the exception of the drawings, which were scanned in, the images were taken with my vx9900 Orange.
http://www.rashid-clark.com/etch-a-sketch/
Here's a direct link to a sample photo, taken at the phone's highest resolution setting of 1600x1200:
http://www.rashid-clark.com/etch-a-sketch/victim.jpg
Here's a direct link to a sample video, taken at the phone's highest resolution of 320x240. I speak very quietly by nature, so don't worry video volumes are normally ok. Also, the phone does not natively save videos to .wmv format, I had to convert them:
http://www.rashid-clark.com/etch-a-sketch/stylus.wmv
BATTERY LIFE:
------------
(+) So far I'm happy with this. I've been recharging maybe every 4-10 days, depending on how the phone is used that week. I'm not a heavy user. Do make sure to follow the carrier's suggestion of fully charging your phone before using it for the first time, and to fully (or near-fully) use up the battery before the first few recharges.
MISC:
-----
(+) The device comes with a GPS Navigation app, complete with a voice giving you directions. I have not had a chance to use this, as I do not have a car. Sounds cool. However, Verizon does charge you out the nose to use it. You can buy a monthly subscription, or pay to use it for a day. Also, the car phone-holders currently available for the vx9900 seem like they can only hold the phone in its closed state, though I have not tried them.
(+) Nice, stereo speakers when open.
(+) Accepts micro memory cards.
*NOTE*: There are reviews on this site stating that the vx9900 will not recognize any memory beyond 1 Gigabyte. This was true for old firmware versions, BUT IS NO LONGER THE CASE. If you get a phone (weather it's the enV or not), do make sure to update its firmware first thing, as it's free to do. I am using a 2 GB card, and the phone recognizes the 2GB available. It's possible go higher than 2GB (I forget what the current limit is, but I think it's 4 GB). HOWEVER, reviews I've read state that any card greater than 2GB will be so thick that tweezers are required to remove it from the phone. The 2 GB card I use slides out just fine. I have not personally tried larger cards.
(.) Many reviewers noted the front screen's small size as a mark against the enV. It is a very small screen. If a large front screen is a part of your needs, you may want to wait until the vx10000 is released (details below).
Personally, I prefer a functional, non-impressive front screen. The reason being that the front screen is exposed to the elements. I stuff my phone in my bag, and so if anything bad were to happen such as the phone getting scratched, then the nice large screen shall remain unharmed. When I feel like breaking out of stealth-mode and showing off the phone's dazzle, then I open it up. And when in show-off mode, it DOES impress - people ask me what phone it is when it is opened.
(+) Lots of blue tooth options. I have not played with any of them, and so can not comment.
(+) The IM client works swell, and having a keyboard really shines here. Verizon will charge each message sent and each message received as a txt message. Actually running the IM client doesn't cost you anything, however.
(.) I have not tried the vcast features, and so can not comment on them.
(+) Most people don't care for cell phone games, but speaking as someone who works in the cell phone game industry, I can say that games on this device look a lot better than they do on plenty of other devices. Verizon requires games to make use of a phone's full screen, so the wide screen of the vx9900 is a nice feature.
(+) From a programming stand point, the vx9900 is stable without a lot of quirks (this can not be said for a lot of devices). From a user's stand-point, this doesn't mean much, but can be reassuring to know.
VX9900 vs vx10000
-----------------
The vx10000 is the successor to the vx9900. At the time of this writing, it is not yet available in stores, but will be soon. If you are thinking of getting a vx9900, should you wait until the vx10000 is released?
Well, the vx10000 is not in my office yet, so I have not had a chance to play with it. And although I do have access to its technical information, I am under agreement to not share that with the public. However, if you perform internet searches you can get some details. Namely, it has a HUGE front screen. This screen is touch-sensitive. It also has what looks to be a much better web browser. A good browser interfaced with a touch-screen has a lot of potential of they implement it right. The internal screen is also larger. Further, the back of the phone is flat, eliminating the "wobble" problem described earlier in this review for the vx9900.
On the minus side, the vx10000 does not yet look to be orange. =D
The EnV in a brand new color........2007-09-21
I owned the original EnV for about seven months, before switching to this beautiful colored phone. The EnV is a very unique phone. When in phone mode, it has a very sleek, skinny design, that fits right in your pocket. Then you open the EnV and you have a full keyboard and a large screen to work with.
The camera is one of my favorite features of this phone. From the back, you wouldn't be able to tell if you have a phone or a camera. With the lens, it comes with a retractable lens cover. The beautiful pictures are full of 2.0 megapixels.
The EnV comes with plenty of gadgets. One big thing to note is the One Month free of the Verizon Navigator, the full fledged GPS straight out of your phone. The EnV makes texting a simple task with the QWERTY keyboard, and makes you feel like you have your own little palm pilot in your hands.

Amazing toy.......2007-12-20
What a fun little gadget.. I spend a lot of time Im'ing so needed to upgrade myself to a easier phone. the keyboard is great,keys have enough space between them so that my mashed one too many thumbs can still hit the right keys when i want to.
The camera, works very well lots of options for quality size and such, also works very well in video camera mode ( you get a 30 second clip with sound).
The pictures do not do justice to the phone the color is closer to an olive drab metallic.. very attractive and suitind for a phone named envy
A couple small things i do not like though the cover for the charging. port.. I know i am going to find some way to break it off, its a little pop out swing panel. Also I am having some problems keeping the rotating shutter door of the camera closed ans as stated previously it does want to slide out of my hands also.
Overall though I am very impressed with this phone If the Iphone is out of your price range I would definatly give this one a good look.
There is a great review under the silver env My 2 cents here.......2007-12-19
I LOVE IT. Only things I don't like: It's hard to hold onto. It wants to slip out of my hand. Would love some little rubber strips or some ridged grips. Works great with my Jabra bluetooth earpiece though so I don't have to hold it. Can't read the front numbers in basic light. They are beautifully back lit so when the phone is on in the dark it's easy, but in just normal light the white doesn't contrast with the green enough.
Love the removable storage. No more paying Verizon, just to get my photos off my phone. Adding my own music, photos has never been easier. The tiny SD cards are amazing. This phone can handle the 4 GB SD cards now. 4 GB in the size of your pinky fingernail!
I love having a full keyboard for texting. But now spelling errors are all mine - I can't blame T9 anymore. Stereo speakers was a plus. They aren't a stereo replacement but to share a quick song or listen at a desk, they are great.
The camera is really like a camera. It looks and acts like a camera when you use it.

Great value.......2007-11-23
With so many generics with questionable writeups, I was leery about buying anything online but afraid to pay the outrageous Verizon store prices. This one claimed to be made by LG, and while it does not have the LED that indicates when charging or when complete, it does do the job with no issues. The plug itself is a 90 degree one, so it removes a lot of the potential stress on the wire while laying it in the dash.
Overall Pros:
Easy to use, well constructed, great price
Cons:
Could use an indicator light
All in all I'm happy with this adapter and would recommend it to others.
Satisfied.......2007-07-16
Seems like a good charger except the cord is very short. Better for those who don't have a long reach to their power outlet. Overall satisfied.
Works great.......2007-05-31
I've had this product for a little over a month and so far it works great. Haven't had to use it much yet, as the phone is a brand new LG enV (VX9900) and still holds a great charge. When I have used it, it charged the phone quickly, didn't overcharge, and the phone held the charge for quite some time. It's a handy size, too--it fits right in my splitter without taking up more than its fair share of space. The price tag is great; I got this charger for less than half the price that retail stores were charging. Definitely would recommend this product.
Great buy!.......2007-05-14
This vehicle charger works great and does exactly what it should! AND I got it a fraction of the price the stores want! Excellent deal!

Super Light and Easy to Use.......2007-04-26
I got this headset for my LG VX5300, and it works perfectly. Pairing was done flawlessly; instruction booklet was very clear. The headset is very small and light-weight. The ear loop is adjustable, which is very helpful to find just the right shape for optimal comfort. The features are basic, which includes voice-dialing. Buttons are few, but easy to find and use. The sound quality is very good. I read a few reviews saying it may not be loud enough for noisy environment (due to the earphone NOT embedded inside your ear), but I have no problems with it at all. Overall a great gadget!

VX9900 Standard Battery Performance.......2007-11-27
I purchased this battery for my Green ENV (VX9900)phone as a backup/spare for the battery that came with the phone. Both are rated at 950maH. I find I get about 2 to 3 days of service from this battery if I don't do too much surfing or photo taking. Both of these drain the battery more quickly as does anything that uses the internal display.
A user might be better advised to purchase an "Extended Life" battery that is rated a 1700maH. I find this battery gave me 5+ days of service before requiring a recharge with moderate camera use and surfing on the first charge. I may get even more service from this battery as I complete several charge/discharge cycles.

Customer Reviews:
not what I expected.......2007-08-01
This product is not what i expected, it was suposed to be an adapter for my enV so I could use standard headphones like on an ipod or something, but the hole was too small, so now i have to buy a 2.5mm headset for my phone.
