2 girls in my class have this phone. IT IS SUPER ANNOYING BECAUSE THE KEYBOARD TYPING IS SUPER LOUD AND ANNOYS THE HECK OUT OF ME. They need to redesign the keyboard so it sounds like my Sprint Samsung Exclaim.

I NEED HELP/ADVISE!!! I had the Dare which was great for about 1 year then started shutting off and screen would lock. It would always unlock in my pocket and call people at random. Contract was up so I thoroughly researched all phones and decided on the enV touch since a standard keypad is a necessity for texting (learned that the Dare touch screen was a horrible way to text with either the phone pad or the qwerty)
I received phone on 9/3. I liked it right away. The screen was nice and the flip open qwerty keyboard was a bonus. The thing I instantly didn’t like was the battery life. I have never had a phone with such a short battery life. I am charging it at least once/day or two and have been stuck with a turned off phone in my purse without charger. Well, found out it is shutting itself off even when the battery still has a charge……hmmm.
Another thing, when i call numbers like my bank or my voicemail, the external screen goes black and i cannot get it to allow me to enter any passwords without flipping open the phone and then shutting it again. I know it can flip open and i can use keyboard but it activates speaker phone which i don’t want the world to know who/what i am calling. When i shut it the screen comes on with the screen locked, i have to unlock then i am able to enter password, etc. I have tried changing the settings (there is a setting specifying that screen will not shut off for certain numbers like toll-free or custom numbers, but after messing with all of the settings i have had no luck).
So, last night while calling in a prescription to my pharmacy and having to open phone and attempting to use qwerty keyboard to enter info (except no way to accurately hit # key without shutting phone and using external touch screen) my internal screen locked and the display had rainbow colored lines with no visualization of the info. I shut the phone and the external screen looked the same. I could press numbers and hear the beeps but nothing on screen but lines. I tried to hold end key and shut off phone, the phone beeped as it recognized the button being pressed but the it would not shut off. I had to take battery out and place back in which came back on and screens were back to normal.
What to do now? Called verizon, they said i could return phone and get another since in 30 day period so I asked them to send phone and I will send this one back when I receive it. Now I am contemplating if I want another one since this already happened on a brand new phone. I have never had any initial problems with any of my previous verizon phones and my 30 day exchange period is running out. I am thinking about going to a blackberry since i already pay addt’l $25 per month for data/text plan and it would only be addt’l $5 for basic blackberry plan. I am just nervous to get STUCK with a blackberry plan for next 2 years if i am not happy. I can cancel my current data plan at any time.
Please Help!! I would like any suggestions. I hope this is just a fluke but I cannot have faith in a phone that is new and already has problems.
Do the other smartphones like the HTC touch require a data plan contract? I need help!!!!

When my daughter, who is 20, asked for a phone for her end of term present I thought “No way will her father be ready to handle buying the iphone.” Basically he has kept all of us on old free with service Verizon models, and if one breaks he switches us to an older one he recovers from his saving when we switch them out. Inordinately practical. My son tested this father on this, hoping for a phone for his games and basically wanting a fancier one to help waiting after school for a ride be more pleasant, by breaking four of these phones I call “the bullet model” hoping he’d get a nice new replacement one, but we seem to have a large enough drawer of old bottom line Verizons to keep it a going. Also he forgets who he is dealing with. As sons do. (The reason I think an iphone is cool is based on a demonstration that our love of a tech guy gave me at work and how much we did in so short a time both in apps and on-line.)
So…hum, ..nevermind…back to this phone and my daughter. I KNOW she needs a good phone and by that I mean one that can allow her to look at PDF doc files as this can, carry doc files, look up and access internet, write something, notes, store info-so on. I know she has to have that at a minimum to be able to get along.She is getting a degree in CalTech, she’s definitely going to be a researcher-I figured although she mainly might be texting friends as I see her phone now, it would be good to have as a student or in her life as she approaches her last year in school. Enough said-needs something. Mom works on it. Dad basically negotiates it howling. Her Dad caved two days ago and got her this. I don’t know exactly why but he’s wedded right now to Verizon. So, ok. We’ve only had them for cell phones. I told her to research and see what Verizon could do for her, she did extensively, and I told him to make sure she had internet service and something “very great” and let’s say it was a defining moment.
I then ran for cover as too many orders tends to build a lot of resistance.
What they did was go get ME this phone too, as well as my daughter.I have really been end runned here. I do, so far, really, really like it. I also appeciate my old one enough I had a service for it outback and buried it beside the rosemary. Interestingly the GPS on this new phone at the burial site reported I was in the neighbor’s yard,it really did, but I suppose that might be useful if someone tries to find it for my son and then can’t locate the old phone digging in the wrong lot.
I’m 50. I can’t say I’ve ever been too much on the cutting edge of anything. I flail with tech but I think I’ll highlight what I like. The kids in my house text. One of the things I find incredibly annoying is trying to text something like “Dad is ready to go.” while making three or four letter choices per key on a small cell phone I can’t see. Or demand I be heard or whatever on one, or give a set of information. Because while they will text, my kids generally will not answer a call from me. So to me I am thrilled with the fact there is the inner typepad that works like I was on a regular keyboard, and I can do it fairly easily by flipping open the phone AND the touch screen face has such a lovely texting ability. If I put the phone sideways that front becomes like the interior and I can touch and type on a format I understand as a keyboard or if I pick “pen” mode I can write with my finger letter by letter and the text appears. That’s really nice. I’ve tried if for two days, it works well, infinitely better. I’ve tried to text a nice piece on how it was in “the old days” with the title “what my parents did not think they needed to get me.” So far that’s seen as more proof of a condition they’ve diagnosed.
My daughter has already texted enough to have finished Chapter one in a book she’s not really writing-but enough. What this phone is great for is texters.
If you hit this one key you switch to caps and back on the touch screen, it’s amazingly easy.Up to now I could never cap anything. I like that as well. I figured all of this out watching You Tubes on the phone, on the phone.
That’s another thing that was fairly nice. People make demo’s on it. Watch a bunch before you buy. Or after you buy. From those I decided to get the “navigation” feature and it allows me to map directions with a GPS, get movies “in my area”, weather and so far I haven’t been anywhere to try it out but I’m going to take a long walk and see if I can find my way with it. I saw you can get resturant ideas. I’ve never had that kind of service. Despite the fact my spouse says it’s “stupid” I really look forward to that. No I couldn’t use it driving. I’d have to pull over. You must be kidding. But it’s about three touches to get to a map of where you are. My daughter has a remarkably poor sense of where she is-astoundingly bad- and I’ve wanted since I saw it in that demo at work for her to have this kind of feature so as she goes around Pasadena or/ and any city or place she has safer ways to figure it out. So great.
Will she keep it charged, and will she remember it and will she not drop, lose or otherwise mess it up. Can’t predict that-she commonly drops, loses, fails to charge, so it’s asking of her some remembering. It appears to need to be charged quite frequently-a bummer.
I also kind of enjoy my Facebook is on it. That I can play Bejeweled Blitz or other games, that you can get to You Tube. A lot is “blocked” at work. Plus if I use the tech there-I can figure someone knows I check my gmail. It’s not a big deal as basically I’m just doing work related stuff in teaching- but I can say I’m glad not to be affected by the blocking that at times is Draconian.I recall they banned cellphones at work but in that all the admins have them and are always on them this was seen as unenforceable, so I’ve never used one teaching much or called…but I enjoy knowing I could look up something if I wanted to. I have fooled around with it enough to say it isn’t a lovely brainless experience going on-line comparable to what i saw on my ipnone day….that was so pleasant-but it’s pretty easy, it’s easy enough I can do what I want.
I have taken a couple short movies and a couple pictures. I haven’t uploaded to my computer yet.I’ve shown them on the phone-the video looks good of my son playing a song on guitar. I haven’t figured out yet how to get my Flickr pictures accessed or how to take these to that from the phone-it sent me to Photo Bucket but I will. I am often engaged in taking pictures. The small videos were great, I have got to send them, it allows of course sending.. my daughter thinks I should get more GB due to the fact as I teach I like to take small videos of the kids reading sight words, so on to store. I just mostly have to figure out this feature. It seems ok. It was easy to use.
Yeah, ok, this is annoying to read but I have to figure out how to get my music on it. And I have to just work on the phone features setting a goal like one new thing a day. My kids do about 15 as I cry but hey. I used to think a ringtone was exciting. I’m over that now.
I know my daughter researched this because I read the reviews here and these were the things she looked at. It was the best she could get for her texting and life from the angle of needs or wants staying with Verizon. She expressed some hesitation-of course-there is a lot out there but the phone so far has been a much improved experience.She’s thrilled. If you saw our Wiindows 95, 17 year old , throw away computer at home you’d understand why we are thrilled. I’m really glad for it.
What helps me is looking at those demo’s on-line though.
Spending some time learning things. It can be too hard or I can’t figure it out and so far I have figured out what I set out to do, not intimidated yet. Not too much. She’s really pleased, so it was a good choice.

It is nice and all but I do not see it a my phone for the next few years. I got it this summer and had no problems with it, then unexplicablly the screen cracked o its own. I did not drop it or anything. The screen repaired its self that day to the point where it seemed the crack was non exsistant. But soon after the screen died completely. Not worth the money if you ask me.

I received my phone sometime in October 2009 when I switched service from a well-known provider to another well-known provider. Good phone, however, way too many moving parts for what I need. I just need a cell phone to make my phone calls and to to send regular text messages — if you are in the same boat, them simplify.
