LG enV2 Review

Monday, October 27th, 2008

A phone for serious text message users, the LG enV2 is a definite upgrade from its larger and less stylish predecessor, the enV. This latest handset offers a full QWERTY keyboard, music player with Bluetooth stereo support, microSD memory card slot and a 2.0-megapixel camera and camcorder, merged together in a well-designed package.

Verizon Wireless services include VCAST Music and Video, and VZ Navigator. VCAST Music provides more than 3 million songs from both well-known and independent artists. With VZ Navigator, the enV2 gives audible turn-by-turn navigation to addresses and more than 14 million points of interest, from ATMs and gas stations to restaurants and tourist destinations.
Fans of the enV2 have praised the phone for its vivid 262K-color LCD screens, great audio quality and overall user friendliness. Advanced features like auto text readout, message sort and the ability to store up to 300 text messages now make your texting habit something to celebrate.

Alltel shows its love for smooth jazz, oldies with LG Rhythm

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

We’re always pleasantly surprised to see a carrier beat the rumored release date for a phone, and that’s certainly happened here with the LG Rhythm, a phone we’d heard would bow in the middle of next month. The trick slider features a secondary touch-sensitive display in the center of the d-pad — not a feature you see every day — and has an integrated FM transmitter, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD expansion, and a graphic equalizer personally tuned by none other than Mark Levinson himself, making this one hell of a little music phone. It launches today in black and white for $119.99 after rebate on contract.

LG announces Google partnership

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

CTIA 2007 — LG has become the latest mobile phone manufacturer to partner with Google. The handset maker will begin to introduce new models that come pre-installed with Google applications such as Google Maps, Gmail and Blogger. There will also be one click access to Google’s search site via an icon on the home menu. The phones, estimated to be 10 models, will ship throughout Asia, Europe and North America starting in the second quarter.

There is widespread speculation that Google itself is working on a mobile phone, but the search engine giant is only experienced with software and many analysts believe would be better off providing software for existing handsets.

Prior to todays LG news, Google had inked deals with other major mobile players like Motorola, Nokia and Samsung.
