Poor 4

LG env3 phones ... not that great of an update.

Zneoc has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I purchased an env2 years back, and long story short, the charger will give out on you. One time i unplugged it out of the charger, and the dang charger piece came out with it. The dang thing was GLUED in!
So, i purchased an env3 and I've had it for a year. I didn't like that it DID NOT like the camera's functions.. for instance it once had zoom. I would trade zoom panoramic for zoom back, any time.
Not only that, but it saves videos in a format that most software cannot read with out a converter.
The key board is confusing if you use a computer when it comes to the "shift" and "sym" keys.
They made quick-dialing more difficult to use. (and also no smiley options!)
The speakers only last (with heavy use) for about 3 -4 months depending on your type of music.
VERY susceptible to water damage!
Not that great button lay-out if you want to use all of the functions with ease. (camera, calls, videos, music, internet)
Not very customizable.)
Horrible text center.I.E. not enough memory for that many texts (400-411)
Front button lay-out is not that great because most phone systems you ar calling do not recognize the pound symbol from the front panel.
Front buttons are also NOT very customizable.
Locking options are not that great.
Video quality is poor if you try recording rivers or puddles.
The charger will give-out near a year's worth of use, or shortly after a year's worth.
You shouldn't even take this thing out of the house and away from a charger at any moment, or very often.

Build quality 1/10
Doesn't last long in wet conditions (will get water damage in your pocket if you sweat!), Will break if mishandled often, charger piece can come out of the phone itself.

Reception 5/10
I call across the country all the time, and the only thing stopping it is the other person's reception.

Call quality 7/10
Same as reception.

Internet 1/10
Did not use very often, because I didn't like it.

Multimedia 4/10
Was not very choreographed at all. They took away zoom from the camera, which I feel is a very important feature.

Camera 3/10
No zoom, poor quality when it came to trees, plants, water... anything that is not already pixelated, or box-like.

UI speed 1/10
Not that bad.

Everyday usage 8/10
Would be even better if they all worked right, with what I wanted!

Text input 7/10
Much better then a flip-phone without a key board. But once agian, very badly choreographed when it came to the "sym" and "shift" keys.

Display 9/10
Works well overall, and worth the money paid for it.

Battery 1/10
1- 2 hours of phone calls, horrible charger quality, and build so badly, that it ACTUALLY falls apart.

Pros

Cons

• Not worth the money, even with the rebates, and discount.
• Repairs will cost more then the phone itself before the year is up.

Env3 could be better

This phone has a ton of great qualities. It has a great battery life. A good design. The screens are decent sizes. It isnt super complicated. Texting and calling is easy. In fact i would say it is the best phone in vzw history if.....it didnt shut off all the frickin time! i say a third of the time i access my pictures it just restarts. The charger port is always having problems too. and sometimes it says charger is not made for this phone or something like that. This phone has so much potential if it didnt glitch up. It is still usable but can be a pain at times.

Lg Env3-Poor Quality

lgterrill1 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

My husband and I both got the slate Lg Env3 in June 2010. This is our 3rd phones..The first time we had to send our phones in was because the phone would turn on and off, then the 2nd time my husband couldn't hear me when he would call nor when I would call him. Now we are having very poor quality reception and our phones are freezing up/turning off automatically.

LG EnV3...apparently got rid of just in time!

kanoka has owned it for less then 3 months before publishing this review

I got this phone a few months ago, but its novelty wore off a bit too quick. The following sums up the good and bad I experienced with this model:

Good:
Crisp screen, camera has flash, compact design, call quality not terrible, color of phone (honestly, I am out of good things)

Bad:
Ringtone too loud even on Low, call quality could/should be better, keyboard buttons flush with plastic outside of it...makes for mis-types, camera images not as great as I would expect for 3 megapixel camera, and lastly: HATE REQUIRED DATA PLAN. Seriously, mobile web on a non-smartphone is POINTLESS...data transmission slow (but what do you expect with Rev.0??), takes too long to access web browser, etc.

I kept this phone for two months before switching to an LG Voyager (which has its share of problems, but not as many...), which I am happy using. Judging by other reviews, I was right in getting rid of it before I really saw this phone's share of problems.

Bottom line: AVOID.

Verizon LG enV3's Infamously Defective Phone - - Randomly Shuts Off!

adirondack has owned it for more then one year before publishing this review

I will keep this review short and verify the negative comments that you have been reading concerning Verizon's LG enV3 to include suffering from a multitude of manufacturing defects such as:
* RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF!
* Battery phone connection defects.
* Software problems.
* Echo sound feedback problem.
* Verizon pushes "Certified Like New enV3 Phones" off to customers that have the same manufacturing defects as the broken phones returned to store by customer.
* EXTREMELY POOR VERIZON CUSTOMER SERVICE. For example, a couple weeks after a year of going through this mess with the Verizon Wireless and the Verizon LG enV3, I entered the Verizon Wireless store and they offered to sell me a new phone for $299.99! to resolve the problem because I am stuck in a 2 year contract with Verizon Wireless! I HAVE SINCE SWITCHED TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE AND THE SERVICE IS HONEST!

This Phone Sucks

LovesToText9934 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I got my env3 December 12 of 09. I was really excited and it worked good at the begining. About September of 10 it started acting up. It fist started when i plugged it into the charger and it said "This charger not reccomended for this phone." It was the charger I got with the phone so I have no clue why it wouldn't be "Reccomended." Then, it started to shut off randomly. When I say randomly, I really mean it. I could be in the middle of a call or creating a text and it would just shut off. It very annoying. It shuts off if I close it too hard (which isn't hard at all), or if i tap it on the couch very lightly. It scratches VERY easily. I deffinetly DO NOT reccomend this phone to other people.

Scratches easily

Reception 9/10
I haven't have any issues with the reception except some texts not going through.

Call quality 4/10
I can for the most part hear the person the the other end of the line other then the fact it shuts of in the middle of calls.

Internet 5/10
I don't have internet on my phone but from other reveiws I've seen its not the best but its ok.

Multimedia 5/10
The camera quality is alright, could be better. It seems to focas on the backround more then the actual thing your taking a picture of. The recording sucks.

crap phone

Taylor has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

i've had this phone for less than a year and it's already dying. it's been turning off on its own ever since i got it and the battery life is just deteriorating . plus the charger sucks. two weeks ago i was texting my friend and i put it away and i checked 20 minutes later to see if i got a response and the phone was off which it does a lot so i thought it was just that. but the battery was completely dead and when i tried to turn it on the flash would go off every time. i charged it when i got home and now the flash has been going off non-stop since. the plastic part of the flash melted and now the area around the camera is starting to melt. there is no water damage or anything.

This phone SUCKS. Beyond belief. When I first got it, it was fine. I loved it. It's not even a year old, and its already a piece of crap. It likes to turn on and off by itself, the screen likes to go white, freezing up, and if I move my phone to fast, it turns off. Stupid charger doesn't work all that great, and it has a horrible battery life. Drops calls all the time. Don't get it. Save your money.

Verizon is giant pain in the ***. My daughter has gone through three of these phones in a year the keep doing the same thing as every one describes (turning off randomly, screen going white, going black) not working at all until I charge her battery in my phone then switching it to hers. turning it on and on and on after it keeps recycling itself to off. Sometimes after 20 try's it will stay on. My phone works fine, with occasional turn off's and an occasional white screen. I do charge it properly to a full charge and never let the batteries run down to nothing. I suspect that is part of the reason I have good luck. My beef is with the phone companies and their billing practices. Making sure you are stuck with their service and stuck with their ridiculously priced old technology phones because you are stuck with their locked in operating systems. Sprint, ATT, and Verizon are all doing this as an industry practice. These companies can get away with this because they are in it together, maybe they don't talk about it but they are aware as long as they all do it they can get away with it. Politicians (mostly republicans) fight to keep regulations in place that allow companies to do this. The companies are presenting their wonderful valid case of being best for the consumers (through lawyers and other politicians turned lobbyist).

This phone has a great quality with a nice rubber-like back that is almost IMPOSSIBLE to fall out of hands. The outer screen does get kind of scratchy but you can really get used to it. The camera quality is good with lots of options like negative and aqua. It also comes with flash. Calling and texting is easy with big inside speakers and good call quality because it is on Bid Red's line.

Horrible, horrible, horrible phone!

Halo has owned it for more then one year before publishing this review

I got this phone in November of last year, and I regret choosing this phone every single day.
When I go to charge it, the cable says "This cable is not recommended with this phone." I got the freaking charger with the phone.
The phone shuts off randomly, and when I say randomly, I really do mean it. This phone hasn't been dropped, no water damage, nothing. But it turns off when its in my purse, out of my pocket, when I flip it shut too hard (and its not even like I slam it close...), when I drop it on my bed. The screen turns off, battery pull, wait forever to turn back on. Just plain annoying. And the phone's outer screen randomly turns white and stays there, no matter how many times I do a battery pull. So I have to plug it in and charge it, even if the phone is charged.
I've taken it to Verizon a number of times, and they update it, they put a foam pad in the battery compartment and sent me off...issues still happened.
I don't like either of the keyboards, the outer one is just a pain in the ass to text on since it doesn't remember words/names. And the inner one is really not great to text on, the buttons literally hurt your hands after a while!

Seriously though, this phone sucks. There are no pros for it, just con, con, con & another con.

A great phone plan for all.....

First of all the amount of your phone bill has nothing to do with the phone.  Maybe you should go to PAGEPLUS. Pageplus cellular uses verizon towers and they have awesome plans and no taxes on the bill.  I had PAGEPLUS for about 6 months now and I have saved so much money on my cellphone because of PAGEPLUS.  I am not a pageplus dealer, just a loyal and happy customer.PAGEPLUS CELLULAR website check it out...http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Plans.aspx

Good 8.3

Basic, but solid

For those of us who are less technologically-inclined, the enV3 provides many basic functions (calling, texting, calendar, alarm clock, and a handy tip calculator) with a user-friendly layout. I didn't even need my wife to show my how to change the background! Earlier versions of the phone had a manufacturing defect: the battery was slightly smaller that it should have been, and subsequently would get jarred loose occasionally, causing the phone to turn off inconveniently. That defect has been worked out of the current enV3 models, and I never had problems with it. Sound quality is fine, although not stellar. The display is extremely difficult to read in sunlight, but otherwise is very clear and sharp.

One feature I particularly appreciated was the music player. My iPod bit the dust recently, so I decided I'd at least limp along with a 2 gigabyte SD card of music until I figured out what I wanted to do about replacing it. The enV3 had a very easy-to-use media player, the SC card slot is very accessible (I have seen phones that require one to remove the battery casing to get to the card slot), and with a cheap converter from Walmart I was able to listen to music using my regular headphones with perfectly adequate sound quality.

I was very sad to give up this phone a few days ago. My wife and I decided to switch carriers in order to save a fair chunk of change every month, and our new carrier lacks any interesting phones, at least for those of us who are uninterested...

Worst Phone EVER

I have had my env3 for a year now. I am already on my second one. I had to get a new one because the first one kept turning off and  on by itself. i couldn't do anything with it. Then I went to get it fixed and the guy couldnt get any of my contacts or pictures transferred to my  new phone. With my second one a few weeks ago the charger wouldnt charge my phone. It charger my friends phone but not mine. Well I had to go back to the verizon store AGAIN!The guy gave me and new charger.But now when ever  I charge my phone it says this charger is not recommended for this phone. And now when I turn it on a few seconds after I turn it  on it goes use genuine battery and starts counting down and turns off. Now I have to go back to the verizon store and have some one look at it. My advice is after my experience with this phone dont buy it.

Too Average

I think the Env3 is sort of a good phone, in my opinion. It has nice big numbers and a good qwerty keyboard. Good megapixel camera too. I've had it since christmas and im not very amused by it anymore.It has some memory loss which really annoys me and im getting sick of it. Its annoying yet its weird that i could actually handle it for some reason. Its like a very basic 2003 phone except that it has a keyboard and good camera. Hard to say if I should suggest it.

Pros

• - Big Number Keys
• - Nicely layed out qwerty keyboard
• - Easy

Cons

• - Random Memory loss
• - Too plain

Keyboard Completely Locks and Disfunctional

I contacted Verizon to report my phone keyboard when you open it is completely locked up and unuseable.  I just got another LG-VX9200 because the last two had charging and shutdown problems and of course the speaker phone gets disfunctional as well (constant problem with prior speaker phone options) when it starts heating up and then you can't hear the caller on the other end and they start telling you they can't understand you because you sound garbled so then you have to close the phone and you can hear them and they vice versa because you are no longer using the speaker phone option. But anyways, yeah the phone was sitting on my counter and I had just texted and when I went to go pick up the phone while doing house cleanup the phone was completely difunctional when trying to text someone none of the keypad buttions worked. I immediatly called Verizon, very upset and advised I had just gotten off the phone with one of their reps and he had made some changes to my account options/plan and now my phone isn't working.  I know it had to be something on their end software wise because now the phone has slowly been coming back to me and now working again so I was out a keypad and couldn't access much had to use the old number texting which was extremely painful.  Though according to Verizon they did nothing on there end, I advised they had to have and now it's working and obviously I had nothing to do with it. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

• keypad goes out of service

Average phone at best

I got this phone July '09 and just after the 1 year warrant ran out, the front screen won't work.  It just shows bright white.  It has also begun to shut down regularly (it used to happen occasionally, maybe one day out of a month).  It's a nice phone for texting and it's light and not too large, but I would not recommend it.

Lg enV3 is a failure

I purchased my enV3 in December 09. Within less than two weeks the phone would automatically shut down and power up.  I missed many incoming phone calls as a result. I returned the phone to Verizon within 30 days and in January 2010 was given a used enV3 as a replacement. This replacement enV3 phone began to automatically shut down and many incoming calls were never received.In addition it would not allow me to send pictures with my text messeges.  In June 2010 verizon replaced the second replacement phone with another used enV3. This enV3 lasted less than one month before in would no longer power up after being fully recharged. I was not a battery issue. Now July of 2010 Veriazon wants me to accept another used enV3 phone as a replacement. If I accept this will be my 4th enV3 phone in seven months. In order to solve verizon's and LG's enV3 total failure, Verizon invites me to upgrade to a new phone and incur the financial obligation of a new 2 year cell phone agreement. Nice how Verizon places the burden of their enV3 failure upon the customer. If you are considering purchasing an enV3, DONT!!!!!  The enV3 is a cell phone FAILURE. Verizon keeps selling it and blaming LG for the software problems.  I suspect contacting the BBB and maybe a class action lawsuit may prevent other potential customers from getting burned by Verizon.

Mine phone loves to turn itself off when it feels like it! It pisses me off to no end especially if im waiting for a call or a text to come in little to behold my phone turned off... :/  When i start my camera it turns off half the time or restarts itself which is also very freaking annoying.  I wouldnt say its the best camera because it isnt, even now my pictures screw up half the time which i dont see how i could possibly do that

The battery life sucks horribly.. my last phone from verizon which is one of the basic phones you get when you first sign up had a battery life of at least 4 days even calling and texting none stop... This phone i have to charge it every night because by the time im done with it it will have one battery bar left... Also on the other phone when it was "dead" the phone could still stay on for hours on end before it offically died... This phone dies with in the hour which I believe would suck if i had to call 911...

The speakers arent the best but thats only because i dont like loud noises... When it comes to recording sounds it sucks.
 

Pros

• Nice keyboard, Not a touch screen, Some pretty cool features, easy to use, the keyboard isnt smashed in together and you can actually see what the letters are

Cons

• battery life sucks horribly, camera is kinda sucky, loves to turn itself off,

This was my first phone and i love it. Others have sed that it has many problems, yet, i have had none whatsoever. I definetely recommend this phone for people that want to just text and call. The phone has to be fairly close to a cell tower. I was at my father's when he had 2 bars, while i only had 1 3g bar >:(. Anyways, also dont leave the phone in ur back pocket. I was reading the other reviews and those people probably did that. Also this phone can have your email on it so you can check your email on the go. The phone also comes with aiirplane mode. You can customize your background with one of your pictures too. The phone comes with a web browser. READ THIS PART: THE MOBILE WEB BROWSER WILL EASILY TAKE UP MB IN YOUR PLAN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE DATA PLAN!!

Pros

• gr8 keyboard, easy 2 use, very good voice quality, The fone has a very good quality camera 4 3.0 megapixel. has an amazing screen

Cons

• bad reception. gets bad reception

Poor 2.7

READ THIS BEFORE YOU GET ONE

I've read a lot of the reviews on this site for env3. i had an ev2 but upgraded to the 3. My env3 shut its self off alot like other people say. But heres the major part to my phone. I can deal with it cutting itself off but i got fed up when it started texting ppl by itslef. verizon called me one day to see why my texting rate jumped up to over 8000 texts in one week. i only text people in verizon(everyone i know is verizon) so this bill for over 8000 txts was ridiculous so i argued with them and they took the charges off, well less than 3wks later i had a 532$ bill for talking long distance to canada now that is ridiculous so i called verizon and they said apperently my phone has a glitch and apperently i am not alone because the person i talked to says she has handled atleast 20 of these cases this month alone. so if you get this phone be warry if you start getting an outrageous bill!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros

Cons

• the phone!!!!

Poor 4

this phone sucks!

okay , well heres the story .. i got this phone last christmas and everytime i tryed to charge it it would say that it was a wrwong charger . it shuts off all the time , gets scratched constantly .. and now i have an even bigger problem .. I DONT RECIEVE TEXTS . i've only had this phone for 7 months and its the worst phone ever . i restarted it and that fixed some of the problems but then the problems would pop up again 3 hours later . now even if i restart my whole phone , erasing precious pictures , ringtones , and videos , nothing happens ! its such a peice of crap ! NEVER GET THIS PHONE . i have no idea why verizon would keep selling this . & also it charges me for 411 calls when i done even make 411 calls at all !
