Verizon Wireless, and LG Electronics announced the enV2 by LG will
be available in April.
The successor to the popular enV by
LG, the new enV2 gets a makeover with a new slim redesign and sophisticated black or maroon finish. The enV2
supports V
CAST Music and Video, VZ Navigator, Bluetooth
capabilities, dual speakers and a 2.0 megapixel camera. The phone's
spacious QWERTY keypad with large sized external keys makes messaging
easy, while its 2.4-inch internal screen offers crisp, crystal-clear
videos and images.
The enV2 by LG will be available for $129.99 after a $50 rebate with a new two-year customer agreement.
The enV2 is a
multimedia device for music and video lovers. Verizon Wireless' V CAST
Music store gives customers access to more than 2.8 million songs from
both well-known and independent artists to download and blast on the
phone's dual speakers. Music aficionados can enjoy the rich, full
sound of their favorite tunes anywhere, anytime by simply pairing the
enV2 with a Bluetooth Stereo headset or accessory. Customers
can also record and save a variety of video clips that can easily be
shared with family and friends by using the video recording
capabilities on the enV2. A separately purchased external
memory microSD™ card allows customers to store their own music or video
clips on their phones and move them from their PCs to their phones.
"We are addressing the burgeoning texting trend by spending
time asking what consumers want and expect from their mobile devices,"
said Mr. Ehtisham Rabbani, vice president of product strategy and
marketing for LG Mobile Phones. "We know the texting audience wants a
mobile device that is compact enough to slide easily into pant pockets
and handbags without compromising the integrity of the phone's
features. The slimmed-down enV2 offers everything consumers
loved about the enV with the added benefit of a larger, more spacious
internal screen with large easy-to-text keys."
Equipped with
access to VZ Navigator, enV2 is also a great
companion when on-the-road. VZ Navigator uses location-based services
(LBS) to provide audible turn-by-turn navigation and the ability to
find more than 14 million points of interest, from ATMs and gas
stations to restaurants and tourist destinations.
