Awesome

Absolutely the best phone I've ever had!!! I have rather large hands, but the keyboard is still easy to use. I get lots of looks while typing messages, especially from the younger crowd who are really into texting.

I questioned my purchase because I don't use text messaging too frequently -- until I found out about Google SMS. Basically, you send key phrases like the name of a business or directions or flight information to the address "46657" (which spells GOOGL on a phone keypad) and Google replies with results. Now I use text messaging all the time!

I love it!

Excellent Phone For The TEEN who likes to text......

We just renewed our Verizon contract and upgraded our phones. We have a teen that loves to text and she wanted the LG enV. The enV is not practical for a teen to carry around in their pocket so we looked at alternatives and came across this phone. The keyboard size works best with smaller hands and the phone comes with a bunch of fun options (fonts, sounds, etc..) It flips two ways - one for calling and one for texting using the keyboard. You can also us the regular keys for texting. Her friends love the phone too!! As an adult I'm not sure I would like the phone as much but it's a fun phone for teens!

A versatile and attractive choice, but some weaknesses

I've had this phone for 3 months, after using mostly blackberrys and Samsung flip phones for the past 7 years. Samsung makes very good phones. Overall: I am generally happy with the phone. The battery life is good, and the Verizon network is the best I have experienced ever. The phone looks great, and has many functions. However, I have not explored everything on this phone yet. The basic web function is good. The screen is excellent. I love the voice recognition software - it is excellent and works well. The speakerphone function is okay - not great, but useable. I have dropped it a few times, without a problem thus far. It is thin and the weight is acceptable. Complaints: It is easy to drop and rather slippery due to its very smooth and glossy exterior. The keypad is mediocre; Blackberry still has the best keypad for emails or other text. With this keypad, I need to use my nails. If I had no nails, I would find it very challenging. The calendar & calculator functions could be better integrated. Bottom line: I was hoping to use this as a PDA/phone, and am finding it difficult at times. I guess it was not truly designed to be used as a PDA, although it has the basic functions of a PDA. I haven't used the music function, so cannot speak to that.

Great Phone

I recently got this phone to replace the Motorola Q. This is a great phone. The features are very easy to use and the entire phone is user friendly. The keyboard is a little small, but other then that it has been flawless.

Not a good replacement for the smartphone

When I saw the neat flip display, the small size, and the wireless sync capability, I was excited. I ordered this phone for work to replace my Motorola Q. I just wanted a regular phone so I wouldn't have to carry my cumbersome Smartphone anymore. While it does Sync with Microsoft Exchange, the smallest interval it will update email is hourly. I even visited a Verizon associate who said you could not bypass this option with the online "push" feature for the consumer version of the phone. You can manually sync as often as you want, but that isn't very practical. A 15 minute interval would have worked, but I had to send it back because of this. It also syncs with the Exchange Calander, which is a work around for some of the problems some folks were having in some of the reviews I read. My problem with the calendar after it is synced though, is that I could not find any way that it would give you a tone or alert to notify you 15 minutes prior like my Q will. It's probably a great phone for your average user, but the wireless sync options does't make it very practical in the professional world.
