[phones]

Get ready to join the next generation of mobile messaging with the new LG enV2. Smaller, slimmer, and sleeker than ever, the phone features large external keys and an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard that make dialing and texting a snap. Advanced messaging features like auto text readout, message sort, and the ability to store up to 300 text messages enhance the experience. The larger internal display, along with Bluetooth® stereo support, a music player, and a 2.0 megapixel camera/camcorder keep you perfectly entertained, and with a microSD™ memory port, you can save all your favorites. Small on size and big on style, you’ll give the new LG enV2 two thumbs up!

The frontal part of the device counts on a new Dialpad design, that is greater and easier to use. The numerical bellboys are of white color with later illumination and well are spaced, which allows easy marking in a great variety of conditions. Although they are smooth to the tact, that offers a good answer, it clicks when it presses itself. The 5-D-DAP forms has been replaced with you above shoot with an arrow/down and the center of button OK. We did not have problems with this new design, as the frontal part does not allow menu of the left and right navigation. They surround that it they are Enviar, Aim, Music, and the bellboys To erase. This was a good election of music that incorporates a button, as far as providing direct access to archives MP3.

The Screen :

In terms of clarity and colours, both the internal and external display devices top is. The internal baffle is much larger and clearer than on the env. It saw there complete well especially if I was able the pictures had I in a complete baffle mode, which the ENV not possible. To look at to video' s on the internal baffle is very considerable also. The external baffle is now a rectangular counterfoil which offers not enough space for the implementation of the most of tasks. The external posting on env was of a square and is the menu system was complies with. Both baffles are be clearly enough for visible in direct sunlight.

QWERTY-toetsenbord and navigatie-array are very similar with those of the LG Voyager. Navigatie-array sit at the right-hand side of QWERTY-toetsenbord and exist from sending and End/Power keys, the square navigation changes gear (those also snelkoppelingen defined as four users), Wistoets, and a loudspeaker test. Like with the Voyager, there is two programmable review under the baffle. Along the linkerzijde of the keyboard are the function, Shift, Symbol, and space travel keys. There is also another Space test at the right-hand side. The right Space test itself as both voice-commando snelkoppeling and voice-memo-opname shortcut. The five grey review on the keyboard (2, Q, W, E and S tests) as double game player controls. The total keyboard is something narrower than on the Voyager and the env. This makes typing on the keyboard feels a smattering tightly. We have also kinder as the Space test was placed in the middle of the keyboard instead of to left and Right. That said are, is this still of the better QWERTY keyboard for apparatuses which there of the raised turnover keys which easily too busy.

Beside the different sneltoetsen, there are also QWERTY-toetsenbord snelkoppeling function. When toggled on, simply to type on QWERTY-toetsenbord new SMS-bericht or a new note block-system reported. (YOU can choose which application to start in the institutions.) We have this especially skilful as you gladly text bulletin much.

Speakers & Headphones :

LG have again an improvement of the participants on enV2, as a result of which it is better than those on the env. I am glad that them improve concerning this, I had been provided after I heard the loudspeakers on the expensive LG Voyager. The loudspeakers are clearly still full volume and manage without starting crackle. The sound terribly, both for listening to music and when these are used and a participant tel. If of plan are use you ear-phone must you purchase of 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter for use with standard ear-phone. Listen with a head tel. satisfy to the average consumer, but will expect that top notch music from this tel.

Messaging (IM, Email, & Text) :

This is large telephones message for those, the one whole quantity. It has an inserted Chat Client, the AIM, MSN and Yahoo!. The software takes the liberty it now, your complete lists, which limits before. The new mobile E-mail-Client supports Yahoo mail, Windows Live Hotmail, AOL/AIM mail, and Verizon. If you know another offerer, you simply into the POP3-oder IMAP server, and it should function. The E-mail-Client can announce also to Setup you each mark an email comes into your post office entrance. The text Messaging component is far the same, but there are some improvements. The entrance and exit are no longer only to 50 messages.

Music and Video on the LG enV2 :

THE LG enV2 support Verizon' s V cast Music and V cast video services. We gedownload George Strait' s " Give It Away" (numbers costs $ 1.99 by piece), 1.8MB a file in 47 seconds Verizon Wireless' high-speed EV-DO-gegevens-verbinding, which are relatively rapidly in comparison with other Verizon-telefoons. enV2 an unfavourable 2.5mm head tel. connection has, and it does not come with an ear-phone, thus you must for the purchase of a couple which is appropriate or 3.5mm an adapter to package.

Quality of audio through double the speakers was sufficiently high for reproduction of music in a small annoying room of people or in public, but it lacks serious predictable. The Bluetooth connection stere in enV2 worked well when it is listened to music and videos. Using service V CAST Video, that flows " NHL Minuto" (a paper clip of 1:54) of SportsCenter. The buffer of video in 3 seconds. The image was too much block, but it played at least without delay. When a video was sent for the first time, it is approximately as large as a seal, but it can extend almost to the size. Although it could easily include/understand the voice of the speaker, the audio one sounded a little watered down.

Camera :

Env mainly had great photos by telephone with camera of 2 megapÃ*xeles norms thanks to the lens of automatic approach. enV2, without the great objective of the camera and the automatic approach, takes good photos that are competitive with other telephones with 2 camera of megapÃ*xeles that at the moment in the market, but is not as good as those of env. To watch the clear images generally. Firings outdoors have balanced with one more a slight exhibition clearness and colors seem quite precise with a very slight fresh tone. In some takings of light of white color to the objects, that are a problem for the majority of telephones with camera. The firings have covered more noise than the telephones taken with Motorola MOTORCYCLE z9, and to watch a little vague. The colors nevertheless to watch balanced. enV2 can take photos from 1600 xs 1200 (by defect), 1280 xs 960, 640 xs 480, 320 xs 240 of resolution and offers the all the essential configuration of the camera.

The enV2 the camera can also take vidéos with audio with 320 X 240,176 X 144 (by defect), that is to say in resolutions or ms length limited by the length max of storage available. Video camera offers the color and balances white thus. The video clips audio decent look synchronized with the video and the reading is rather smooth. Camera is l' one of the applications which you can launch on the telephone without opening the valve. Well qu' it is more practical for the users who want just to take a small plug-in software component, by using l' camera without opening the valve feels a little strange that you see only part of the photograph that you take. Think of a casemate bunker seen of your sight. It is useful for the self-portraits, though.


GPS :

On our tests, the signs navigator Service ($ 9,99 per month) became fast and precise. It took only 20 seconds for the enV2 for closing on our position, and the large screen indicated to read simply again instructions. We were also impressive by the volume of the spoken instructions, if we navigator road worth seeing discussion want sign. During our journey from new jersey to Manhattan, we successfully the local search function, around one in close proximity to staples and Starbucks along our route. Sign navigator results for a Longhorn Steakhouse in close proximity to our house, but it is not open for less than six months.

Performance :

We tested dual-band (the CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) LG env (2) in San Francisco using Verizon Wireless. We were under the impression of the recall quality terrible - votes came loudly and clearly with very a little static or interference. If for going out conversations, of our bellers even said that we sounded as if we ring as from a fixed apparatus. Also automatic recall systems can recognise our tasks very well, just like the ENV (2) ' s own voice-commando function. Speakerphone conversations were also surprisingly decent. The volume was considerably and we heard of our bellers very well. Bellers did report of a light echo impact on time, but that is with the most of mobile tel. speakerphones malicious. We have succeeded in coupling the LG env (2) with the Iqua Sunday Bluetooth headset, with decent sound quality also. Audio quality of the LG env (2) ' s inserted Stereo loudspeakers became average. Volume was according to enough, although it still easy metallic sound. We recommend, either with a wire-bound or a Stereo Bluetooth Headset music hear.

We were very content with the EV-DO connection speeds. V Cast video loaded into approximately 10 seconds long with few to no float and for shop of a web page also those approximately 10 seconds. That is, the Web browser on the LG env (2) are regular Handy browser, complete HTML not in, then we would have gladly, in order to see, times somewhat faster to load. Download of song have somewhat more, at approximately one minute and 15 seconds for a 2MB-Datei. And even if the V Cast video were loaded fast enough, we rather disappointed over the video quality. Videos often do not take, those in full size of the display, only about a centimeter or so far, the defeats, those not so large internal display. Also there was a quantity moved and Pixelierung of artifacts to the video, above all, if the video had some measures sequences. The LG env (2) have one evaluate Akkulaufzeit of 5,3 hours discussion time and 21 days Standby time. Our results showed a tested consulting hour of 5,95 hours. According to FCC radiation test, env (2) are digital SAR rating of 1,34 Watts per kilogram.

Conclusion :

When the Voyager has exited, he has seemed natural like a modernization for the env like more had a keyboard QWERTY and multimediali characteristics offered and a touch screen on the advanced part of the messaggistica fort. But with the release of enV2, the modernization distance is forcuto. Capability-test, the enV2 offers env to owners little, but not on the functions, it is the design. The new design of the enV2 renders more compact and more modern the device more snella. For the new customers whom they want a complete keyboard QWERTY of I telephone and not to be of some greatest usefullness for display external, the enV2 is a good choice. Even if not like a large package punch like LG Voyager, enV2 still its fascination could way in your ag of the tools with its beauty and the reasonable price.

Build very attractive telephone and for good quality. Good receipt and language quality. Support for V CAST and sign navigator. New Messaging functions facilitate the work with messages and email. Very good Akkus.

The small external screen limits tasks without needing abrir the cover. The keyboard is a little flat. The telephone with camera takes photos from granulated interior. Earpiece with cable not including for music reproduction.
