LG EnV 2
Author: admin
Users who are thinking that the LG Voyager is the “it” thing in the line of LG phones should consider checking out LG enV2. Referred as the true successor to the LG enV franchise, the enV2 is almost identical with the enV as far as features are concerned, but it has been praised for sporting a sleeker and slimmer design. While others have found the LG Voyager as a good unit on its own, some would prefer to check the enV2 first.
The enV2 is a candy bar headset sporting a dimension of 4 x 2.13 x 0.65 inches and weight of 4.23 ounces, 40 percent thinner and 30 percent lighter than its enV predecessor. The phone can be stored in the pocket of the pants comfortably, and can be gripped easily. The comfort is attributed to the soft touch surface on the phone’s back and its flat front surface. It also boasts a chic design, with a keypad configuration that makes enV2 look like a calculator.
The problem with the miniaturization of the enV2 is that the screen is compromised, measuring 1.45 inches only with a resolution of 164 x 64 inches, although it runs in 262,000 colors.
This sacrifice gave room to a roomy keypad, which sounds to be an acceptable excuse. The display allows viewing of date, time, battery life, signal strength and photo caller ID. It also acts as a camera viewfinder. Below the screen is the keypad, with keys divided by curved delineations.
Env2’s navigation array is composed of a Clear Key, music player key, an up and down navigation toggle, the middle OK key, and the Send and End/Power keys. A dedicated camera key and volume rocker are located on the left spine and a microSD card slot and headset jack on the right side. The 2-Megapixel camera is located on the backside. The phone can also be flipped open up to 180 degrees to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard plus an internal display which measures 2.4 inches diagonally, and a The QVGA display supports 262,000 colors and resolution of 320×240 pixels.
As mentioned earlier, the enV2 shows to be an aesthetic upgrade, but not on the features side as it only mimicked what’s available with the enV. Basic features include a 1,000-entry phone book, vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, voice commands and dialing, a speakerphone, instant messaging, a calendar, an alarm clock, a world clock, a notepad, a tip calculator, and a voice-memo recorder.
Connectivity options with the the enV2 include e-mail support, web browser, USB and a text-to-speech feature, access to Web e-mail like Yahoo and Gmail, text-to-speech feature and a line of Bluetooth profiles (hands-free, dial-up networking, A2DP or stereo, phone-book access, basic printing, basic imaging, file transfer and a lot more).
Multimedia capabilities of enV2 includes the EV-DO support that gives full access to Verizon’s range of 3G services like V Cast Video and V Cast Music. It includes a music player that support MP3, WMA and AAC files.
