There's a lot to like about the LG enV2, including a nice QWERTY keyboard, GPS and very good battery life. Although there are flaws like lack of email and organizer support, the enV2 is a solid all around handset. There's few things it's outstanding at, but there are also few things that are truly terrible. We feel comfortable saying that anyone who doesn't need advanced smart phone features but do want a QWERTY keyboard will probably enjoy the enV2; and at $129.99 with a two-year contract the price is pretty reasonable as well.
| Section | The Good | The Bad |
| Tour & Design | All the women we asked like the styling | All the men we asked did not |
| Audio Quality | Sound received by the phone could be worse |
Almost all aspects of the audio quality could be better |
| Imaging | Video recording is good for a cell phone | Photo resolution is pretty atrocious |
| Making/Receiving Calls | Dialing a number was very quick | You can't use your own music files as ring tones |
| Messaging | Text messaging support is solid | There's no built in email client so it's web based only |
| Organizer | Fast access to organizer features |
No task support and no synchronization |
| Multimedia | Nothing's that terrible | But nothing's excellent either |
| Software | Speedy interface | Terrible web browser |
| Battery Life | Solid battery life across the board | Nothing to say here |
| Connectivity | Fast EVDO data and solid Bluetooth support | Wi-Fi would have been nice |
| Hardware | Fast typing on both the keypad and keyboard |
D-Pad and soft keys should be closer together |
| Other Features | GPS and modem support | You have to use Verizon's software for the GPS |
| Value & Comparisons | Reasonably priced at $129.99 with a contract. |
Still a little rich for many |
