a good texting, non-smart phone

8.7 out of 10

I picked this up with my 'new every 2' America's Choice plan.  Despite the policy that you can't get a Dare, or Chocolate 3 while keeping your AC plan, if you find a laid back store rep, he'll get your Dare on the plan, etc.  It's just ridiculously useless on such a basic plan.

Anyways, I picked up an env2 because of my horrendous track record with capacitive touch phones.  If any of you have had a lg vx8500 (chocolate 1), you know my pain.  My Lord did that phone stink.  Random menu scrolling, ghost button pushes that sent out premature texts, pocket dialing up the yin yang.  So I went with this since it was as thin and had tactile buttons: something I was massively craving.  I also went with it becuase you can still text with one hand using the outside keypad and t9 texting.

Despite what people may say, you can change the default texting mode on the outside to t9.  You just have to open up the phone, go into texting, and options, to do so :)

A great phone, in my opinion.  I have only had it pocket dial on me once, and it was when I was carrying a heavy couch, moving my girlfriend from her apartment.  I wear pretty tight express jeans all the time, and I still don't get pocket dials, and I've had it for 2 months. 

I can't emphasize how good of a phone it has been to me.  I've already opened it up with bitpim, added my own wallpapers, ringtones, and added a 8gb sdhc card to it full of music.  The music player isn't that flashy on the internal screen (VZW red boringness) but the player on the outside screen is nice.  A great all around phone! (if you don't care about the internet in your pocket).

Pros

-Great reception
-Great call quality (my mom loves this new phone)
-Great texting options (Qwerty, and t9 on the outside)
-slim design
-loud call ringing volume
-decent external speakers for 'ok' music playback... great for a phone
-NO crazy menu problems or 'ghost' button presses associated with capacitive touch phones

Cons

-vibration is a little weak, not as strong as my old vx8500.. sometimes I miss a text while it's in my pocket or a call
-the possibility of pocket dialing.... I've only had it happen once when I had a huge couch I was carrying banging into it

I don't get it.  I've had many phones(Voyager,Dare, etc), and none has topped this one.  So what if the outside screen is small.  The inside screen is great.  Messaging is simple. Music is easy and the thing you're suppose to buy a phone for, call quality is excellent.  The price isn't bad either.  Back to the outside sceen.  You get all of the information you need and here is the good thing.  You can shut off the BT without opening the phone.  As I said, I have had many other phones from every maker and NONE of them topped this one.
