I upgraded my cell phone today. I got an LG enV completely free from Verizon Wireless due to a $50 discount from a sale, and $100 off from Verizon’s “New Every Two” discount. I’ve only had the phone for a few hours now, but I’m very happy with it so far. A full charge only took a couple hours.
The phone opens up to a full keyboard, which is great for text messaging, instant messaging, web browsing, and entering new contacts. With the keyboard it only took me a few minutes to enter all my contacts from my old phone.
Included on the back is a 2.0 megapixel camera. I have yet to try it in bright light, but the pictures in the dim nighttime of my apartment are of reasonable quality. It supports resolutions from 320×240 to 1600×1200, and will store pictures to internal camera memory or to a microSD card. You can also take videos at up to 320×240, and they can last up to an hour long. The microSD slot supports up to 1GB. Any videos less than 5MB can be set as the system wallpaper. You can also set different wallpapers for the small external screen and the main internal screen.
The enV has Bluetooth support, of course. In addition to normal Bluetooth headsets, it also supports stereo wireless headsets. I guess this is mostly for listening to music. I don’t know when I’ll use this feature.
After trying out V CAST a little, I think I like it. After a couple seconds of waiting I can easily watch free Comedy Central videos, or news, or whatever. Very cool.
I think I may try out the VZ Navigator on the way home from work tomorrow, and see how accurate it is.
