LG Electronics, one of the global leaders in digital and electronic products, has expanded their domain to wireless communications. Over the last decade, LG has designed and introduced innovative mobile phone models that are at par with the best cellular phones in the market. In the fourth quarter of 2006, LG added another entry to their successful record: the LG EnV. Also called the VX9900, and distributed by Verizon Wireless in the US, it is a smart device that will surely be the EnV of its peers.
The LG EnV is a sideways clamshell that operates like a mini-laptop. When closed, it resembles a mobile phone with numeric keypad and external display, and hinges open to reveal a QWERTY keypad and larger internal LCD screen. The dimensions of the EnV: 4.64 x 2.08 x 0.78 inches, and weight of 4.60 ounces. The external LCD screen is 1.25 inches, and displays 65,000 colors and up to eight lines of text. The EnV can be opened to 180 degrees, and the internal LCD is impressively large at 2.24 inches and 262,000 color display. Up to 15 lines of text can be viewed here, plus video, web pages, and photos.
