[cburglow]

the dog in the backyard was making my dogs start to bark

[MrCrayonInk95]

I may be going to verizon when my 2 yr agreement with Sprint is up but I have a question first. How much will a new phone cost me. Say want the Palm pre plus, will I have to pay $599 or $49? I would think $49. Anyone know?

[sammymunir]

umm does it have wifi?

[greatgirl123]

Is it a Wi-Fi phone?

[yourhole4mypole]

Nice hands

[ExpertProDuctionZ]

please reply can you send the text by just closing the keyboard thing insted of clicking send or ok button

[divingcrazed]

@ExpertProDuctionZ if you close the keyboard without cancelling out of the message or hitting send it will just save the message as a draft

[ExpertProDuctionZ]

@divingcrazed can you make it so it sends without saving it as a draft?

[divingcrazed]

@ExpertProDuctionZ not that i know of, sorry.

[BluezyBaby4]

I love this phone it ROCKS!!! Love ur nails!! :D

[rollerskater54]

Can u call people on the outer part pf the phone?

[Klamboo]

@rollerskater54 Of course you can...

[L45TR35ORT]

whats so good about this? Phone?

[divagril1995]

how do u put muSIC on your phone

[Thegamer5150]

kinda feels like having 2 phones an old cheap one and a modern day phone

[chevydjd]

i wish i have that phone i have the iPhone 3GS i just switched to AT&T

[Cheezelover100]

you'd rather have an env3 instead of an iphone?

[72mine]

im only eleven years old and i have one of these its blue

[nebfan94]

no one cares

[madteacups]

did this phone randomly shut off on you during calls or anything? because i heard that it does that a lot... and i'm trying to decide between this phone or the samsung intensity.

[Kayylinnn]

Yeah the phone shuts off alot without touching it and dropped calls are common with me, and yeah i have this phone.

;)

[tankman1997]

my ok key is a little lose is that normal

[aubreyrocks33]

does this phone have a camcorder?

[jenroof]

Yes, it does.

[skiser18]

hey i got a question if you could please help me, when i get a message and look at it on the front screen it says new message then the name of the person who sent it to me is in purple is there any way i can change this?

[jenroof]

Try changing the display theme...if that doesn't change the color, there is no way to do so.

[allpeople123]

jenroof i was wondering what phone in you opinion is the best samsung alias 2 or the lg env3 maybe you can make a video on the two to compare

[jenroof]

I liked the enV3 better. Sorry, I don't have either phone anymore so I can't do a comparison video.

[divingcrazed]

@jenroof why dont you have the env3 anymore?

[wcebuckwheat]

can you put a picture or something on the outside like you can on the inside?

[hipergirlli411]

ya u can put a diff pic on the outisde and on the inside..its awesome cuz its original! lol

[jenroof]

Yes, you can, but since the outside screen is smaller, it could be hard to see depending on what it is.

[ohemgeitsmarissaxx]

@jenroof - yay thank you i always wounderd that xD makes me want the phone more now o:

[allpeople123]

hey can you do more on the inside (keyboard) review

[kam32096]

can i transfer my pics of mi env2 to mi env3 with out my computer

[emende01]

yes just use bluetooth it should still work even though the phone is not activated!!:)

[kam32096]

wrong i just put in mi sd card it was already on there haha

[dortizlol]

i have this phone in maaroon its the best and the battery life is good i didant half to charger it in like 2 days

[xPopxTartsx]

I use to have the env2 but mine keep breaking so they gave me the env3 &&I like it better xD

[stridegum4200]

i was going to get this but the screen was to small

[mvp7747]

thats just the outer screen, it flips open to a full keyboard and a much larger screen

[iloveyewv]

yeah you can change the font.

i think theres like 3diffrent kinds you can change it to.

[hiwoasd4]

Can you change the fonts?? thats one thing i like about phones being able to make it my own!

[pinkygreen24]

i have a env3 and im am really happy with it

[HelpMeSkatePlease]

does it brake easily?

[whitespider28]

I don't think it's her voice that's annoying.

I believe it's the fact that her vocals are so close to the camera.

[xostars83xo]

whatevaaa !

like i said i was kidding !

[xostars83xo]

your voice is kinda annoying (:

[jenroof]

So are all of your comments and messages you send me! And the fact that you continue to send them despite the fact that I've ignored most, if not all, of them!

"dearest Jen Jen,

couple questions,

1) how much is it ?

2) can you change the fonts ?

3) what color do you recommend ?

love, mee ♥ (: "

CREEPY!!!

[xostars83xo]

calm down. i was kidding. (:

[joeyfuel]

thanks alot for the video....you were a big help sugar love love!

[jenroof]

LOL, thanks! =)

[ripcoblechildren]

How long is the duration for filming videos? Because some phones I've seen have a maximum of 15 seconds, and the one I have now can go up to an hour. I love your review, by the way.

[lonewolf1405]

i think its 30 seconds but im not sure

[ash61961]

30 seconds if you want to send. 1 Hour if you want to save it to the phone

[secret1995]

It depends on if you set it to be for a message or storage.

[sexymeg1988]

wow you can not edit contacts?

[ripcoblechildren]

From the outside menu, no. But obviously you can from the inside.

[sexymeg1988]

ok well that's not what you said so sorry! Jeeeeze

[MICYAZZY2]

haha i have the same background on my envy3 too XD

[chessdude67]

I was thinking about buying an iphone, but now I'm hearing a lot about this phone.

Could someone tell what the pros & cons are? I don't listen to music on phone. But, I would like a GOOD camera and video? Also a gps systwm would be nice.

Does AT&T suck? I know verizon has a good rep.

Thanks for any feedback.

peace.

[Poop19826]

well... do one on the alias 2 and the ENV3 then... hahahaha...

[jenroof]

I don't have the Alias2 anymore. Typically when I buy a new phone I sell the older one so I don't have a lot of $ invested in phones lying around. =)

[integgy95]

AaHaaH!!! She uses an iPod..She should just get an iPhone..It will destroy this thing..

[jenroof]

iPhone has been out for 2 years and hasn't managed to destroy Verizon yet!

[integgy95]

I never said verizon, did I??? I said this phone. Next time actually READ what I wrote...so you dont end up looking like a dumbass on your own video.

[jenroof]

You're the one that looks like a dumbass. The iPhone isn't even available on Verizon, so you're comparing apples and oranges. I don't know where you made the connection that because I prefer to use an iPod rather than a phone for music, that I should get an iPhone. Next time actually stop and think before you make a stupid comment.

[bigslammy2000]

Again sweetheart, let me try and explain in the simplest terms, iPhone vs. EnV3... iPhone wins hands down. Thats why I said just get an iPhone, you already have an iPod, just combine the 2. I NEVER said anything about VERIZON being better than the iPhone.. DID I?? Nope.

[jenroof]

OK, fine, your opinion is that the iPhone beats the enV3 - you're entitled to that. But my point is, I have Verizon, and Verizon does not have the iPhone, and I'm not jumping ship simply for a phone (after 10 years, no less). So again, my "apples and oranges" point - it kind of makes the comparison a moot point when you are comparing phones from 2 different carriers.

[beatlebrother21]

i recomend the env touch #1 best phone ever

[Poop19826]

Can you do a video comparing the rival and the EnV3? thanx...

[jenroof]

Sure, just, you know, buy and send me the Rival... =)

[Friedclamz]

GREAT REVIEW!!!

im subscibing

[xostars83xo]

i have the voyager and i absolutely

hate the touch screen.i want to get

this phone but im not due for an

upgrade. how much will i have to pay?

[xostars83xo]

can you do a video on just text messaging?

please and thank you :)

[ffrancesccaaaa]

is the center space hard to get used to if your so used to the side spaces on the env2?

does it cause any inconvienience?

[jenroof]

It takes a few days or so to get used to, but you'll adapt quickly. =)

[OriginalRobertP]

i love the enV3 thanks jenroof!!!!!!

[dopi512]

i request you just stop you suck do a review on the iphone, oh wait those arent needed cuz iphone is so easy to use its as easy as wiping your ass

[jenroof]

And I request that you jump off the nearest bridge, but you're probably not gonna do that, are ya? Enjoy your iPhone, hope the music and games entertain you when you're unable to make a call because you have AT&T.

[ash61961]

u got owned y a chick

[rwk245]

memory card file looks like this:

MY FLIX- you can put video files on the card for the phone

MY MUSIC- put songs on phone for mp3 player

MY PIX- can put picture files on card to phone

MY SOUNDS- can put songs in this file to set as ringtones

MEDIA- I HAVE NO CLUE- this file just is there and i tried to put a game there, but i couldnt find it on the phone.

IF anyone knows what goes in this file plz tell me!!!!

[criley02]

can you do a video on the clock formats for the phone and can you change the menu fonts. thanks :)

[NATASHA123AVERY]

I gotzz this fone lolzz

[wellidontcare]

Can you view your sent and inbox messages?

[BakedPotato29]

what do you mean by holding down the zero for the keyguard i tried it with my env2 and it did it too but what is it actually doing

[shaynmoss6969]

can you actually see pictures on the outside???

[jenroof]

Yes - they are small but you can see them.

[jamesdgnh]

um...... where is the mic i want to record something and get the best wuality

[moo101c]

Next video you make you should turn the brightness of the phone down, so we can see what you're doing.

[jenroof]

Yes thanks I've heard this umpteen times.

[ddoggs2008]

how much is this for 2 year agreement

[swimlikeyoureonfire]

Heyy, :) I heard you are only able to text one person on the outer view... do you know if that is true?

[jenroof]

Yes, that is correct.

[jigglehimmer]

actually nvm, it does have zoom, but not on the highest resoloution. i keep my settings on the highest

[rwk245]

alrite thanks man

[rwk245]

DOES THIS PHONE HAVE ZOOM on the camera option??????????????

[kylieee16]

the env2 doesnt and neither does the env(1), so i dont think so but im not positive.

[rwk245]

? ...the enV 2 does have zoom. i have it. i just dunno if the ev3 as zoom

[nano7717]

i had the enV 1 and yes it does. ive used it many times. u might not have known how to use it.

[jigglehimmer]

i have this phone, same color and everything. it can take a panoramic picture its so fucking sweet. and the video recorder has zoom and this cameras so high quality that you dont zoom in until after you take a picture, like you could take a broad picture and zoom in and see what kind of shoes somebody would be wearing walking by in the picture lol... but you can crop and zoom however you wish and all that in the picture edit

[Holmezbx]

whoah when did the third come out? my first phone was the first

[vampluvr56]

the phone has a music playing system right. kindof like an mp3 player?? i was wondering if you can set the music you put on from your own computer as your ringtone. i'm pretty sure you can set regular recordings as your ringtone but am not at all certain about the music player. i'd appreciate your answer:)

[Weeble818]

on (newish) verizon phones you can't set sounds as ringtones, or make custom ones unless you use bitpim. just google bitpim, download it, and from there it's pretty self explanitory.

[jenroof]

You can't set a full song as a ringtone, but you can set like 30 second clips if you can get them to your phone via email or like Weeble818 said.

[teenlee21]

u know what jenroof, thank u so much for giving these reviews cuz i really wanted to see what the enV3 is like and now that i have saw.... i am going to get it! thanks!

[jenroof]

I am glad it helped you! :)

[clarkehathaway]

can you text on the outside?

and how many messages does the inbox hold?

[jigglehimmer]

you can text on the outside and it holds 400 messages

[jenroof]

I think the inbox is around 300 - I had 396 total messages and it was telling me I was at like 98%, and it had already erased a lot of my sent messages.

[Shenez524]

how many songs can it hold w/ out the memory card

[claudiamariex0]

OMG! this phone looks really cool i was gonna get the env2 but i am happy i didnt now!

[tennislvr39]

wow...this fone looks amazing!!!!!

any1 know where i can get it?

[put2on818]

Verizon Duh?

[burdo95]

enV touch is way better!!!!!!!

[TheN3bster]

i found a way to edit contact info on the front screen. it annoying but u can do it. just click the clr button so it says "say a command". go to contacts. then modify. say the number or name and u will be able to do it. idk why u would want to do all that or why lg made it that way but im not complaining cause i can just do it on the inside screen anyways.

[spofers]

edgelitafans1 i also have the env2 and i just broke it in the wash :( but now i can get this one :)

[edgelitafans1]

I seriously need that phone. I have the dumbass enV 2. It's a piece of shit, now!

[snowbored]

hey . how long does the battery last for ?

[jenroof]

I've charged it I think 4 times in 2+ weeks and I consider myself to be a light to moderate user. It's definitely acceptable!

[masterslayersp]

yeah can you read the send messages

[G8RGRL12]

Do you have as many menu options with the enV3 as with the original enV?

[jenroof]

I'm pretty sure there are, it's been awhile since I've had the enV though.

[jordandavidfilm]

people should go to there local best buy...best buy sells the envy 3 for $69.99 much cheaper then verizon...

i don't like to get ripped off :)

[vampluvr56]

can you set a picture of your own as the wallpaper on the front screen even though it's so small

[jenroof]

Yes, you can.

[musicrocksoutloud166]

can you read the sents my env2 cant on the front so just wondering???

[jenroof]

I'm not sure about in "time" view, but you can in "contact" view, aka threaded.

[xdennywennyx]

i got the new env3 today but i dont really like it so i switched the number from the env3 to my old env2 if i had to pick i would stay with the env2. but i do like the flash on the env3 camera

[PhoneLover09]

should i get this or the alias2?

[edhardylopez]

my vote is on the enV3, alias only has a cool keyboard that changes its keys, whereas the enV 3 has an amazing operating system that is easy to use and newer than any non smart phone

[wowcraft100]

get the alias 2 . its better by far, the keyboard changes ,its unique for its time.

[G8RGRL12]

If you have ever had a phone with a "QWERTY" keyboard before, you will be VERY dissapointed with the Alias 2. I used my friend's phone the other day and I found that it doesn't pick up all of the letters I press when I text. For example, if I texted "Hey what are you doing" on my enV, and then texted the same thing on the Alias 2 it would probably come out as "Hy wht ae yu dng?"

[soulweaponry]

Can you show the browser? I have the env2 and i'd like a better-than-wap browser

[BEYONCEvolve]

well bestbuy sellz da env3 for 70 n verizon sellz it for 130 (both w/ 2 yr contract or upgrade)

[lrmvProductions]

i have an env 2 and the pocket dialing and contact creations was a pain. it broke and the insurance gave me a new one. they fixed the problem with a two step unlock. you press ok then you press clear. but it still sometimes gets though

great video, i really like this phone

[laurenxcollins]

On the external screen, can you slide your finger across the circle to move it? Or do you have to actually tap and click it.

[jenroof]

You have to press it.

[sailboatking96]

env 3, alias 2, samsung trance, or samsung sway, i like to text! which one?

[PhoneLover09]

if yur on a price range get the alias2 but if yu arent get the env3...

[PhoneLover09]

PLEASE HELP! env3, alias2, or voyager? THANKS (:

[jenroof]

Of the 3 I prefer the enV3.

[PhoneLover09]

yeah.. and i had an env2 before this so i think id like it

[Gator115]

No...get the alias2

env3 is kinda overpriced...and as for the voyager...its just too popular, overpriced, and just garbage in general

[xxsoccerudexx]

if youh like touchscreens wait for the envtouch ( not the voyager 2 anymore )

theres videos on youtube

and the other phones are pretty good

i think the env3 is way better, i have friends with the alias 2 and its alright

[asianmaddness]

I like this phone, I have the samsung trance that came out earlier....but this seems infinitely better.

[wootzerox]

getting this phone tomorrow, i like it better than the touch version

[jenroof]

Yay! :) I agree, I'm not a touch-screen fan.

[xxtd1996xx]

i heard that this has a touch screen. is this true?

[jenroof]

No, there will be an enV Touch coming soon though.

[lisapop8]

ITS SO BEAUTIFULLLL

[jenroof]

LOL...yes, I love it.

[yoyoheyyx8]

i really want this fone... i just want to know if its had any problems like the env2...can you text on the front of the env3? because i know your not supposed to on the env2 thats y they had broken so much

[jenroof]

I haven't had any issues with it so far. Yes you can text on the front screen.

[AllStarDeal79]

NO SENT MESSAGES ?! c'mon!!! sad face( on the outer screen obviously )

[meanjean1990]

how much does it cost with 2 year contrack and if there is a rebate?

[bewmay1493]

can you turn the outside backlight off?

[jenroof]

No.

[sk8board8000]

how much was it

[choichoisoy]

did they add a key to hold to lock the phone. not just lock like the ok lock, but lock where you have to put in the code. the env1 had it, env2 didnt

[jenroof]

No, the only options to manually lock it are locking it from the menu or pressing and holding 0.

[cellphonefreak227]

I want it sooo bad! I was searching about the enV2 and stumbled apon this!!!! Thanx so much for posting this video!!

[MatthewHuntoon11]

how much was it?

[bewmay1493]

have you had any problems like it freezing or restarting?

[jenroof]

Nope, not a single problem thus far. :)

[WillisAndEarl]

how much is it? andd is it coming out any time soon? becuz im trying to decidee between what kind of phone i want for my birthday

[the93owner]

it'll be out on may 29 for $130 with a new 2 year contract. the env touch is out june 5 for about $200.

[cookie8142]

does the camera work fine? Is the image blurry or kinda hard to see? Im thinking that I should get it

[jenroof]

Yes, it is very good for a camera phone! I posted some pics on Howard Forums if you want to check those out. They are on the Verizon -->LG subforum under vx9200 Pre-release thread. :)

[AlBanardo]

when is the env touch coming out? im tring to decide between this the alias 2 or when ever the touch comes out. HELP!!!

[niemeyer18]

They are saying that it is coming out June 5th. So maybe you should wait and see peoples reaction to the env touch.

[deman209]

how much?

[123daddyzgirl]

which one would you say is better? the env 3 or the alias 2? i have had the env2 and i have been pleased but i want something different and i want something new. i really like how the alias 2 has the e-ink keyboard. the env3 looks really cool though! but i have been wanting the regular alias and now that i see this one it looks alot better! i really want both but obviously that's not going to happen. I really dont know which one to get. which one would you say and why? HELPPPPP!!!!

[niemeyer18]

I would wait and see what people think of the env 3 and what you think of it. I really like the alias 2, but the env 3 looks very slick too. I would wait until the env 3 officially comes out, and then make up your mind. :)

[123daddyzgirl]

which one, en3 or alias 2?

[michaylaa]

its the same thing just a diffrent front?

[jenroof]

What do you mean is it the same thing as? The enV2? If so, no, there are several changes.

[SkyShaymin24]

how much is the phone?

[MarcoPolo123789]

what is full retail for

[jenroof]

$299

[MarcVentura96]

thats just the phone but with an old contract

[ryanguy0011]

can you text over 160 characters on the env3 .. cuz on the env2 you couldnt text over 160 characters if your using the front side of the phone

???

[jenroof]

You can't on this one either. :(
