complete with a five-way control button.

though, and you're presented with a

landscape display and a full QWERTY
keyboard. Dialing function buttons are
also duplicated on the internal
touchpad. A pair of stereo speakers
reside on either side of the display,
and a miniSD card slot is provided on
the side of the device for additional
memory expansion. There's a standard
jack to accept universal hands-free
headsets, while the rear of the device
houses the 2.0-megapixel camera. Lastly,
an internal antenna keeps the enV sleek
and compact, and the provided USB data
port ensures convenient connectivity.

The enV has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging, too, with support for sending and receiving text, picture, and video messages. There's also a complete e-mail client on the device for POP- and IMAP-based accounts. And of course, the QWERTY keyboard makes it a snap to type your messages.
Getting on the Internet anywhere is easy with the enV. Verizon's Mobile Web package allows you to read and send e-mails, exchange instant messages, and view your favorite Web content on your phone. You can check your e-mail, trade stocks online, compare prices while shopping, access flight information, get movie listings, and find directions to the theater. Verizon's Get It Now wireless download service is also fully compatible with the enV. This pay-per-download service features application downloads, games, and productivity tools. You can also personalize your handset with ringtone downloads using the Get It Now service.
The enV ships with a number of handy tools, including a calendar and a voice memo application. An alarm clock and calculator are also included. Use the enV's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth headset accessory or to connect to a computer or handheld device to exchange and synchronize data.
The enV fully supports Verizon Wireless' exciting V Cast service.
Imaging
and
Entertainment
While the enV is
a great platform
for watching V
Cast video
content, it can
also capture
video that can
be shared with
your friends and
associates via
video messaging.
The video unit
records in MPEG4
format and can
capture clips up
to 15 seconds in
length. Of
course, you can
also use the
camera to
capture still
pictures, too.
In addition to
megapixel
resolution (1280
x 960), the
camera features
an LED flash,
macro and night
modes, a
self-timer, and
brightness and
white balance
controls.
The enV supports V Cast 3-D games, as well as other 2-D-based games, which are available from Verizon's Get It Now service. You can also customize the phone's wallpapers and screen savers to give your phone a look that suits your style. And if music is your thing, with the built-in memory card slot and the enV's advanced MP3 player, you'll never be at a loss for something good to listen to (memory cards sold separately).
