 The LG enV2 has seen some nice, cosmetic improvements, and these might be just enough to tip the scales from a phone we didn't like very much to one we'd actually recommend. The look of the device is much more adult, but also more polished, and the improved interface, which cleans up Verizon's stodgy old Get It Now menus, brought key features to the top, where they were easier to find. Still, most of the changes were only skin deep. Call quality wasn't improved, and the phone still lacks the wealth of messaging features that would make it an heir to the Sidekick's throne. And, with the slow network speeds and poor multimedia options, there really wasn't much use for the 3G radio. We'd like to see something a bit more advanced for messaging to fill this phone's niche, and leave the multimedia features to the experts. Release: April 2008. Price: $100.
Pros: Classy redesign. Improved menu breaks out of Verizon Wireless' garden.
Cons: Screens still too small. Multimedia and Web browsing options lousy. Should be packed with advanced messaging features.
