LG enV Touch VX11000 Review

0. phoneArena posted on 06 Jun 2009, 04:14

With all of the features packed into the LG enV Touch VX11000, it will no doubt be one of the most popular Verizon devices this year. People who loved (or hated) their Voyager will be hard-pressed to find many complaints about this device...

There is a video review at the very end of the article and I found that you can go on youtube and search phonearena and the phone model you want to see and they are on there as well. Hope this helps :-)

This form factor is idiotic. Why have two screens when you can have a slider? Imagine enjoying the touch screen and then you open the phone to type and the screen you are then using is NOT touch-sensitive. There is no redeeming factor whatsoever.

i agree 100 %!!!!!! a sliding form factor would have gotten this phone top of the list. ofcourse, i guess everyones excuse is that it wouldnt be a true successor if it was a slider. same with env3. why not just have a bigger screen and slide out keyboard, ofcourse that would be like the rumor. anyway i agree thanks for posting this comment.

I also think a sliding form factor would obviously make more sense but this way its more unique and different. i still like it

Personally I like the internal screen. I can flip it open and set it down on a desk or table in front of me and still see the screen. It's kind of like a minature laptop is probably the best way to describe it. Sliders are always flat so you really need to be holding them all the time in order to text or do anything else. Plus with sliders I think you lose some keyboard real estate due to the way the two halves almost always overlap by a half inch or so. You don't have that with this unit.The touch screen is done very well too. Not as nice as the one on my i-pod touch but it gets the job done. It doesn't bother me at all to have the two displays.

I think you slider people are retarded. I love it just the way it is. I think it would have made it just as average as every other phone. I agree ^^ I love the ability to be able to open it and lay it on the table and still be able to see it. Eventually there probably will be a slider phone that comes out so stop complaining about this one and be patient. If you can't stop complaining about your phone then sell it and go on another plan.

the enVtouch is way more comfortable than a sliding texting phone and the double screens is pretty good dont you think if one breaks you have the other unlike the samsung rogue

The internal screen is a wonderfu tool. I have some of that rubber mat for use as non skid folded up on my little ledge where the gauges of my van are. I have the phone plugged into it's charger, open to the internal screen, I can see and hear who is calling, I use my VZ Navigator there also. It sits right where I have to see my speed so I can glance down, see where Navigator wants me to be and drive safely. I love the internal screen for games also. I read my mail on this screen. Hands free.........Yeah, there are valid reasons for the internal screen and I love it. I think since I love my old LG EnV so much, I will get along well with the "Touch". I choose the "Touch" Thank you all for the help in making this decision. Joe

Do the Env3 and Touch come with full games or just demos? Also, is it possible for more menu interface options to be downloaded from Verizon's website?

23. Garrison64 posted on 30 Jun 2009, 17:26

just demo games, no full versions.

just returned my second touch in two weeks, screen freezes up , the touch screen is very inaccurate, the volume really sucks on this thing. i expected better out of lg.

Not all phones are perfect....I had to go through a lot of crap with other verizon phones. However, this is one of the greatest they have. Works much better than the voyager I have, the env 2, glyde, as well as the Chocolate. I am sure you will receive one that works. If not, trade it in for a different one. One aspect that I do not like is the battery life. I bought an extened battery and this phone is beyond great now. We all have to remember that ALL phones have their issues. Sometimes we have to lower our expectations because they may be too high. Env Touch is the best phone right now. I do wish that the music would not stop when I receive a message, it is pretty annoying. Rather, LG could make it so that some way it tells you, you received a message while continuing. Besides that, no problems. Wonder how the Rogue will stack up to this......Hmmmm?

Phone Arena Team: How does the camera on the enV Touch compare to the camera on the Samsung Memoir? I realize the resolution is very different, but which one takes *better* pictures? It's hard to compare directly from your (and other) online reviews. I'm debating between the two, mainly on their camera functionality.

37. Rtard94 posted on 27 Sep 2009, 18:31

ENV TOUCH SUCKS!!!!! DO NOT buy this phone there are so many things wrong with it... I'm on my fifth one and I take almost perfect care of it... Just dont waste ur money and get this phone

Does the music player have an EQ or any bass, treble settings? Can you use speaker phone while this is CLOSED. I read you can CLOSE the device and still hear music BUT can you close the device and still be on a call with speakerphone active? I was at a Verizon store looking at this: when I activate the speaker phone it says it will automatically turn OFF after 1 min of inactivity. On my OLDER Env, when I set speark phone ON, it STAYS on which is the way I WANT IT.

Overall a great phone. 4.5 stars for me. Only three usability nits - the screen lock to keep you from accidentally activating the phone and calling someone inadvertently is not effective. It should be sliding switch on the side (like in the previous model) and not a push button type. As implemented, I still accidentally call people. Secondly, the screen is difficult to read under sunlight. A transflective-type screen would be better. Thirdly, an option to make the dial pad numbers bigger. Currently, the biggest fonts aren't big enough for my fat finger tips. Otherwise, the calls are clear, doesn't cut out and it's intuitive to use.
