I have had this phone for a year. i have to update my phone every few days just to recieve text messages. One day, After the 1 year mark, i set the phone down and it started to freak out on me. it started pressing the * button over and over and i tred texting and it would write random words. i was talking to another girl with the same phone. i didn't tell her my problems with my phone, yet she was telling me the same thing was happening to her phone.
I don't have problems with calling or texting. I've had it for over 2 years and the battery charge is exactly the same. After less than a week of owning the original LG Chocolate, I traded it in for the LG enV and have been satisified every since. The pictures have great quality and I just email them to myself so I can keep them forever because I'm too cheap to buy an SD card. It functions properly no matter how many times I've dropped it. My main uses for the phone are:- calling- texting- pictures- videos- record sound- gamesI don't use it for music so I can't review it in that regard. The videos are decent quality but I have a digital cam if I really need that.The thing I didn't like was when the Chocolate had come out, I bought a game and it wouldn't work. I have bejeweled and I play that on my phone whenever I'm bored or waiting in a long line.
I bought my LG-enV from Amazon and the first phone I recvd although new in a sealed box - had problems. I absolutely recommend you get the music MP3 software & earbuds (arround $30.00 additional). I've dropped mine on a hard surface a couple times AND thanks to my beloved dog Mr.Peppi, 20% of my phone was submerged in water. Why carry a phone + MP3 player when the phone MP3 player sound GREAT. THANKS AMAZON. Now back to the phone, Its STURDY as hell and can take a beating. FIRST I want to congrats AMAZON. I don't use the SENSA anymore, just the LG-enV.
I heard from other people that the camera works GREAT and does a nice job. The sound is BETTER than my SamSung SENSA MP3 player. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is how BULKY this phone is - Aside from that I would say DEFINITELY BUY IT.As always, THANKS for reading my reviews and be well. To be honest about it, this happened to me TWICE, and phone still works great. 24 hrs after I notified them my new phone was having problems they overnited me another one 100% hassle free. Sorry BUT I can't review on the camera because since I dropped the phone a couple times all my pics come out fuzzy.
Now the little "pink" dot under the battery is RED (LG's way to tell if you got your phone wet & VOIDS any warranty - Most phones have that, not only LG) BUT NOT TO WORRY - I shook out any excess water, let the phone dry and IT WORKS FINE. ALSO - the MP3 player is AMAZING. I strongly believe this was MY fault. The WebbMan
It does not pull number correctly. lousy phone, when you turn on it starts going through all the available options for about 2 or 3 min. Then the voice commands do not work, it does seem to understand what i am telling it to do even after I programed it to. The circle direction option is also lousy the direction keys, option keys and the okay button do work like it, made to do. Dont purchase this one.
I was late to the cell phone game, anyway. As a writer, I'm often want to capture a thought or observation when I don't have a pen and paper handy. However, I have happily accepted I'm wrong.Though I have a serious case of fat-thumbism, this phone works with me and not against me.
After which I was a plain-Jane flip-phone user. I'm not a techno-idiot but I'm not as committed to maximizing the use or my understanding of my digital hardware as some are.The camera feature is a breeze to use and takes excellent photos. I rocked a beeper until at least 2001.
The interior keypad is easy to use, though which buttons to push when and which order did set me back the first few times. Of course, my luck with such phones has left a trail of half broken hinges from New York to Seattle.When it came time for my most recent phone upgrade I reluctantly decided on the LG enV. It seemed like more phone than I'd ever needed or would ever use.
I love the notepad option as well. This phone has had my back more than a few times.The only pitfalls I'd personally caution against are a) the little raised portion around the ear piece, it always digs into my ear, and b) when using blue-tooth the front keypad does not automatically lock (or lock at all, but I can't be sure) so there are sometimes embarrassing hangups due to inner pants pocket pressure.Overall, I have come to trust and enjoy this phone and would recommend it especially to those who are a) on a budget, of sorts, b) like to txt msg all the time, and c) generally like to use their cell phones for everything in between.
