Well i've had this phone for about a year now. I'm buying the LG Venus tomorrow so i thought i'd give a review for the enV before i say goodbye to it. Honestly, its a good phone and was one of the first to have a qwerty keypad option built in. But the problem was i enjoyed one handed texting so much from previous phones that the keypad didnt really get much use from me... so alas this was not a good phone for me. everyone looked at me weird while texting with the phone still closed. that was just easier for me. my tip to those who are considering this phone is to just get the new LG Voyager, which is the same exact design only with touch screen front instead of numeric keys.
