Perfect for power texters, the sleekly redesigned LG enV3 for Verizon
Wireless looks like a nicely compact candybar-style phone with standard
alpha-numeric keypad and 1.5-inch display on its face. However, it has a hinged
side that opens up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and additional 2.6-inch
screen--perfect for all your on-the-go text messaging and email needs. It also
offers a Text Instant Reply feature, enabling you to automatically start a reply
message when you read a message. Other improvements over the previous enV2 model
include a 3-megapixel camera/camcorder, MicroSD memory expansion to 16 GB (from
the previous 8 GB maximum).
It's compatible with Verizon's V Cast Music Service, which enables you to
purchase songs through your phone and download them via Verizon's fast EV-DO
data network. You'll also stay on course thanks to the VZ Navigator GPS
turn-by-turn direction service. Other features include a multi-format digital
audio player, Bluetooth for both handsfree devices and stereo music streaming,
HTML web browsing capabilities, access to personal email and instant messaging,
Visual Voicemail, and a bilingual interface.
Verizon Wireless Service
With support for the EV-DO high-speed data standard, you'll enjoy fast access to
the Internet and Verizon Wireless multimedia services (additional charges
applicable), with average download speeds ranging from 400 to 700 Kbps and peak
rates up to 2 Mbps. (Learn more about
where EV-DO
coverage is offered.) The V Cast Music service enables you to download songs
instantly to your phone, or purchase music through your PC and transfer the
files to your phone. If purchased from your phone, you'll receive two copies of
the song: a Windows Media Audio Pro Plus format at 64Kbps stereo is sent to your
phone, and a Windows Media Audio 9 format at 160Kbps stereo is sent to your
account in the V CAST Music online store for downloading to your PC. V Cast
Music offers nearly 2 million songs, with more being added all the time.
In addition to the V Cast Music service, this phone is also compatible with
the Verizon Wireless V CAST Music with Rhapsody, which enables you to access
this exclusive digital music service for RealNetworks and for MTV Networks. V
CAST Music with Rhapsody delivers unlimited monthly access to music on up to
three Rhapsody-compatible mobile phones and players and online on multiple PCs
and Web browsers. In addition, customers who purchase music over-the-air are
able to download the master copy of the songs or albums to their PCs free of
digital rights management (DRM) software that restricts how and where music can
be played.
The V Cast Video service enables you to stream or download video clips to
your phone from a variety of news, entertainment, sports, and weather channels,
including CNN, ABC News, E!, CBS Sports, The Weather Channel, and VH1.
With this GPS-enabled phone, you'll be able to access the Verizon Wireless VZ
Navigator service (additional charges applicable) for voice-prompted
turn-by-turn directions, heads-up alerts, local search of nearly 14 million
points of interest in the US (such as landmarks, restaurants and ATMs), and
detailed color maps. And the Chaperone service lets you easily locate your loved
ones from your Verizon Wireless phone or PC in real time. After defining a zone,
such as an area designating a school or summer camp, you'll be sent an alert via
text message when the Chaperone handset enters or leaves the zone.
Getting on the Internet is easy using the Verizon Wireless Mobile Web 2.0
package, which allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages
and view your favorite web content on your phone. The Verizon Wireless Media
Center wireless download service is also fully compatible with this phone. This
pay-per-download service features application downloads, games and productivity
tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the
Media Center service.
With Visual Voice Mail, you can delete, reply and forward voice mail messages
without having to listen to prior messages or voice instructions. Visual Voice
Mail is the ideal tool for the busy mobile professional who may need to
prioritize which messages he or she listens to first. Features include on-screen
access to voice mail message status, save up to 40 messages for 40 days (or
archive permanently), create up to 10 different caller ID-based greetings, and
reply via call back, text or even voice mail.
With Mobile Broadband Connect (subscription required), you can use your
smartphone as a modem for your notebook when you connect the two using a USB
cable--or open a Bluetooth connection--enabling you to access the Internet or
your company intranet. The tethered modem capability is ideal when you're
traveling and need to use your notebook to check email, access corporate
networks, or download large files like presentations and reports. And with
Mobile Broadband Connect, you won't have to buy an extra PC Card or other
devices.
Phone Features
Easily pocketable, the LG enV3 has a candybar-style face with a 1.5-inch LCD
screen complemented by large, widely spaced keys for easy dialing, a dedicated
contacts button, 5-way navigation, and send/end buttons. Flipping open the enV3
reveals the full QWERTY keyboard and a large 2.6-inch LCD (10 percent larger
than the previous model) with a 320 x 240-pixel resolution and 262K colors.
Dialing function buttons are also duplicated on the internal touchpad.
The phone has a small internal memory and offers memory expansion up to 16 GB
using optional MicroSD memory cards. The enV3's built-in address book can store
up to 1000 contacts, and each entry can store 5 numbers, 2 email addresses, and
a picture ID. The phone comes with multiple unique polyphonic ringtones, and it
has vibrate and silent modes when you need to keep things quiet. The phone lets
you match pictures with callers to identify them, and the enV3's voice
recognition software supports voice commands from any user, not just a
pre-programmed user's voice.
Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This
phone provides the latest version of Bluetooth connectivity--version 2.1 + EDR
(Enhanced Data Rate), which makes pairing with a headset as well as other
Bluetooth devices a snap. And with the embedded A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can
stream your music to a pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones or other compatible
devices. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and
enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a
server (additional charges or subscription applicable).
The 3-megapixel camera can snap still photos in five resolutions (2048 x 1536
(default), 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960, 640 x 480, 320 x 240 pixels), and it also
features brightness and white balance settings, multiple shutter sounds and
color effects, and a self-timer. It also includes a multi-shot mode with a Smile
Shot feature that automatically takes a picture when a smile is detected and a
Panorama feature that automatically takes 3 pictures in sequence as you move
from left to right. The phone can also capture video clips for as long as you
have available memory.
The enV3 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with
support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages as well as
mobile instant messaging (IM). There's also a complete e-mail client on the
device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard
makes it a snap to type your messages.
