PhoneDog reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“Verizon and LG shrunk the EnV and the results are good. While the original EnV was an innovative but (very) big and expensive high-end phone, the EnV2 is smaller, cheaper, and slots into the middle of VZW’s messaging phone lineup. Text addicts who don’t need Voyager’s touchscreen — and additional size and cost — should find QWERTY bliss with this affordable and capable handset.”

InfoSync reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“The LG enV2 is definitely improved since the original LG VX9900 enV. While that phone felt clunky, like a big toy, the LG enV2 is elegant and compact. The build quality feels tighter, and with its classy maroon paint and soft-touch finish, it’s much nicer to hold. We weren’t originally fans of this new design. The screens are both still too small, especially the external display, and we weren’t fond of the wavy external keypad. But those outer number keys quickly won us over, as they were a joy to type on, so wide and cozy.”

PCMag reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“At $129.99 with a contract, the enV2 is a compelling phone for voice calling and text messaging. Yes, the Blackberry Pearl does everything the enV2 does and more—but it’s more expensive, and the enV2’s larger, much simpler keypad should appeal to many. The enV2’s design also puts Verizon’s clunky and confusing Samsung SCH-U740 which has similar features, to shame.”

PhoneArena reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“We are highly impressed with the overall improvements that have been made with the new enV2. It features a more modern and simplistic design with less bulk and more streamlined appearance, larger front dialpad, redesigned QWERTY keypad, larger internal display, 2MP camera, stereo speakers, and supports microSD cards up to 8GB; with the only thing missing here is an HTML browser and an Autofocus system for the camera. We recommend it for anyone that is looking for a reasonably priced phone with excellent call quality and reception, while also requiring a built in QWERTY keypad and other useful features. We also believe that the enV2 is a better device for text messaging when compared to the Samsung Alias U740, due to the fact its QWERTY keypad is rather small, since the buttons cramped together, which causes frequent typing errors. However, for those looking for a higher-end device, the Voyager is the way to go. It has almost every feature one could want, including a full 2.8” touchscreen on the front, secondary display on the inside with QWERTY keypad, stereo speakers, and Mobile TV support.”

LapTopMag reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“Like a DJ that takes a good song and remixes it into something better, LG made just the right tweaks with the enV2. There aren’t too many enhancements aside from the physical features, but typing remains easy and is perfect for messaging fans. Further, its good call quality, strong GPS performance, decent battery life, and continued support for a host of multimedia options make it a steal for $129.”

CNET reviews the LG enV2 (VX9100) and writes -
“The bad: The LG enV(2) does not offer newer features from the first enV. Also, photo quality was mediocre, and the external display can be a bit too small. Streaming video quality could also be a lot better.

The bottom line: The LG enV(2) is not much more than a slimmed down version of the enV, but it still serves as an excellent high-end messaging phone.”
