The Verizon Wireless LG enV²" (pronounced "envy two"), also known as the VX9100, is a Bluetooth-enabled and V CAST-ready mobile phone that includes a full "qwerty" keyboard and a 2.0 megapixel camera. It comes in two color variations: black and maroon. Both the colors are available at Verizon Wireless stores, and were released on the same date. It is also capable of installing VZ Navigator. The original price of the phone at release was $129 after a $50 mail-in-rebate. As of May 2008, the Price of the enV² is $99 with activation on a new two-year contract.

It succeeded both the LG enV (VX9900) and the original LG The V (VX9800).

The styling of this phone has been updated from the previous versions. It's slimmer, lighter, and more pocketable than the previous versions. Its styling follows that of the LG Voyager (VX10000), which is the other successor to the LG enV (VX9900) and the LG The V (VX9800) phones.

[edit] Features

The enV² has several features, such as the QWERTY keyboard and a 2.0 megapixel camera with up to 10x zoom. It is Bluetooth-compatible and supports V CAST, Verizon's music and video service, as well as VZ Navigator, Verizon's map service. The phone has a microSD memory card port for storing music and video from a computer and is enabled to set videos under 5MB as wallpaper. The phone supports [FOTA], which allows for new firmware updates to be sent to the device without needing to make a trip to a retail store to receive the update.

The phone supports up to 8GB of storage via the MicroSD port on the right side of the phone. The forms of media able to be stored on this card include: Photos ("PIX"), Music, Sounds, and Videos ("FLIX"). This phone supports the Bluetooth profile A2DP which supports the listening of music through wireless headphones. The phone also has a "Standalone Mode" which allows one to take advantage of the phone's multimedia capabilities (Music, Photos, Videos, Games) without sending or receiving RF signals. This mode is most useful during an Airplane Flight.

[edit] Limitations

The enV² has software limitations which some may find to be unreasonably restrictive compared even to older models of LG phones. For instance, this phone does not include the ability to assign unique ringtones for text messages from specific contacts, a feature many may be used to with contemporary and older phones. Also, the phone features a "My Sounds" section but does not allow a user to assign a "sound" as a ringtone without first sending it to themselves in a text message (the folder contains, by default, several 'midi' style songs included on certain older phones as ringtone selections). Owners will also notice that while assigning contacts to "groups", the software will not allow more than 10 entries per category (whereas most people would likely have more than 10 entries classified by common categories such as "friends" or "family").
