The enV2 also known as LG-KT610 is a sleek new phone from Verizon that is powered with HSDPA connectivity at 3.6 Mbps and GPS navigation capabilities. It is a clamshell phone that opens up to a 2.4-inch display that is surrounded by stereo speakers and a full QWERTY keypad, making it a very attractive phone for those who text often, emailing, and web-browsing on-the-go.

After a couples days with the enV2 the only dislike I have about this phone is the very small display screen on the front of the phone. Directly below the screen is the numeric keypad and navigational buttons. The enV2 also features an easy to use 2-megapixal camera.

Symbian OS ensures the benefits of advanced power efficiency and a high-level of OS security, crucial for social and professional users. The enV2 cost $199 with a 2-year contract and if you buy online there’s an instant $50 discount making it $149.00. So if you’re looking for a smartphone and you’re on a tight budget, I recommend the enV2 from Verizon Wireless.
