The enV(2) supports a number of features and services that customers
have come to expect in wireless phones from LG and Verizon Wireless,
including V CAST Music and Video, VZ Navigator(SM), Bluetooth(R)
capabilities, dual speakers and a 2.0 megapixel camera. The phone's
spacious QWERTY keypad with large sized external keys makes messaging easy,
while its 2.4-inch internal screen offers crisp, crystal-clear videos and
images.
The enV(2) is the ideal multimedia device for music and video lovers.
Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music store gives customers access to more than
2.8 million songs from both well-known and independent artists to download
and blast on the phone's dual speakers. Music aficionados can enjoy the
rich, full sound of their favorite tunes anywhere, anytime by simply
pairing the enV(2) with a Bluetooth Stereo headset or accessory. Customers
can also record and save a variety of video clips that can easily be shared
with family and friends by using the video recording capabilities on the
enV(2). A separately purchased external memory microSD(TM) card allows
customers to store their own music or video clips on their phones and move
them from their PCs to their phones.
"We are addressing the burgeoning texting trend by spending time asking
what consumers want and expect from their mobile devices," said Mr.
Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and marketing for LG
Mobile Phones. "We know the texting audience wants a mobile device that is
compact enough to slide easily into pant pockets and handbags without
compromising the integrity of the phone's features. The slimmed-down enV(2)
offers everything consumers loved about the enV with the added benefit of a
larger, more spacious internal screen with large easy-to-text keys."
Equipped with access to VZ Navigator(SM), enV(2) is also a great
