LG enV Touch / User Reviews

Overall, I really like this phone. I can start by saying it's durable and reliable. My dad had it for 3 years, then when he switched to the Droid I got his enV (first touch phone for me, whoo whoo (: ). I've had it now for about 6 months. It sill works great, it's still on the first battery.... More

This LG phone started shutting down randomly 2-3 times per week after about 8 months. After 14 months it started shutting down 2-3 times daily. Neither LG or Verizon would replace it since it was older than 12 months, eventhough it is a common LG problem. If you search the web you will find many users... More

this phone is horrible. i've gone through four and they've all had the same problems. the screen goes white, the time and date on the external screen disappeared, when i open the phone... More

I have to admit, I'm loving this phone so far. I've only had it a few days but the interface is extremely elegant and intuitive and I love the animated wallpaper and camera. The web browser is great-- it streams video amazingly and the resolution is superb. It is a bit bulky, and I can't... More

The LG Env Touch seemed to be the perfect phone for me... Loved that I could read texts and speed dial with just the touch of a button. But also love that when I want to send a text I just have to flip it open and type it out with ease...

All was well until my screen started freezing on me about 4... More

I have had nothing but problems with this phone from day one. First it was the battery, so I bought an extended life batt. Then my phone started resetting it self back to the default settings and the back light would come on at 12am every night and run the batt down. I am on my third Envy Touch now and... More

Pro: Kinda hard to say at the moment. Dont really know if it's the phone or Verizons service. I will say it was a good phone when it worked

Con: Battery life was speradic. Software problems

Using experience: 10 months

Probally the worst phone and biggest waste of my money. I went through 4 replacement... More

The LG ENV touch was my first entry to touch-based screens (I'm still waiting for the iPhone for Verizon - let's hope for early 2011) and I have had it for a year because if I have given a review when I first got it, I would probably have written and raved about it. But here is my feelings... More

Great for a first phone but I don't see myself using it past the 2 year... More

This phone isn't horrible, but not great either.

I too have had the "shut off" issue. But it's not a recurring problem, it's happened maybe 3 or 4 times over the course of 6 months. The battery life is pretty good considering no matter whether you're using it opened... More

I had huge expectations for this phone when I originally bought it a year ago. My previous phone was a slim and tiny silver Razr, and upgrading to the Env Touch has been a tough transition because the Env touch is big and bulky in my pocket and but I often find myself trying to figure out the best place... More

Pro: nice design.

Con: where should i begin...

I've had this phone for less than a year and the one i have now is my fifth. the first one i had was good until it stopped charging. completely. i got a couple new chargers until they realized it was the phone. this was... More

I have had this phone for 12 months. I hunted for a phone that would meet my needs and not require a 3G hook up. I wanted a calendar/dateboook, camera, texting, an alarm, and the ability to download new ringtones. I know, most phones can do this, but not all and many that do have features and costs... More

My primary complaint with this phone is that it will randomly shut off. Sometimes during calls, sometimes while sitting in my pocket. And it isn't because I accidentally press the off button, which would cause a power-down sequence, the phone is just instantly off. Sometimes it immediately turns... More

For all those with this phone shutting off on its own, I believe there is a fix. Do a search on the web for the Env Touch shut off problem. Apparently, from what I read, there is too much space in the battery compartment by a very wee bit. The fix is to put a shim in there, a very thin shim like a... More

I got this phone about 11 months ago. For the first few months, the phone worked like a charm.

As far as battery life goes, as long as you don't text a LOT and talk on the phone a LOT, you should be fine. Usually I can get about 250 texts and a 10 minute phone conversation on one charge if I don't... More

I have owned this phone for 14 months and still have to put up with it for 10 more or pay a hefty price for a new upgrade. This is the most unstable cell phone I have ever owned.

When I bought it, it had the primary features I wanted: bluetooth, make phone calls, and text on a nice size querty keyboard.... More

My wife and I are on our third touch due to crappy design. This phone STILL resets on it's own causing you to loose all of your settings. The T9 is BAD. First of all it doesn't learn words. Most all other cell phones do. Try to spell common words and they come up jumbled. This phone needed... More
