LG enV Touch
The LG enV Touch is one of the latest messaging phones that have been introduced to the market. This phone unlike its predecessors in the enV series LG enV3, LG enV2 and the LG enV VX9900 does not have a numeric keypad at the front. It has a full touch screen interface similar to the one on the Voyager VX10000. This design has been seen as a move by LG and Verizon to reinforce their presence in the market for luxury phones.
The LG enV Touch comes about two years after the launch of the Voyager VX10000 and is definitely an improvement in both the features and design. The LG enV Touch has bigger internal displays and touchscreen. The keyboard layout has also been improved, the camera settings are advanced, the headset jack can now allow you to use headphones of your choice and browsing the web with the LG enV Touch is much faster. While the phone seems to be an improvement of the Voyager VX10000, it does not come with a V Cast Mobile TV.
The LG enV Touch design
The Voyager VX10000 was introduced to the market when the concept of touchscreens was still fairly new in the market and the LG enV Touch seems to have been launched at a time when there are numerous phones that use the touchscreen technology. This does not overshadow the unique design that the LG enV Touch has. It has a length of 4.52 inches, width of 2.16 inches and is about 0.66 inches thick. This makes it much smaller compared to the Voyager VX10000. Its look is very elegant and sleek and most people will find some similarity with the LG Versa and the LG Dare models in terms of the look.
The LG enV Touch touch-screen display dominates the front of the phone and the only other visible features at the front are three keys on the lower part. These keys include the End/power key, the Send key and the Clear key. The display is striking and measures about three inches and can support more than one million colors making it not just bright but also vibrant and sharp.
The camera key, screen lock key and the volume adjuster are located on the left side of the phone. The memory card slot and headset jack are on the right while the charger jack is at the bottom. The LG enV Touch has a 3.2 megapixel camera and flash at the back. The speakers are found on both sides of the phone. The QWERTY keyboard is very simple to use and can be customized to suit your preferences.
Features available
The phonebook can hold more than a thousand entries allowing each entry to have up to 5 numbers, one street address and 2 email addresses. The entries can be organized into groups with an option for photos to use for caller ID. The phone has a speakerphone, MMS, voice messaging, world clock, and a drawing pad that can be used with the touch-screen. Users will also appreciate the voice command dialing option on the LG enV Touch and the USB mass storage.
The Bluetooth on the LG enV Touch supports basic imaging, file transfer, dial-up networking, basic printing, stereo and hands-free. The LG enV Touch can also be used as a modem for your computer or laptop. The document viewer will allow you to read any Microsoft Office documents that are in Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Adobe Acrobat. Instant messaging on Aim, Yahoo or Windows live is also available on this phone. The LG enV Touch also comes with navigator support, GPS, email, HTML web browser and EV-DO Rev. The one disappointment is the lack of a Wi-Fi on the LG enV Touch.
