What is Verizon's EnV3 like?

Question

I have the EnV2 which I absolutely can't stand. I have had nothing but problems with it like the battery not holding a charge, it shutting off when it wants to, and the buttons sticking. So I took it back to Verizon for the 7th time since I got it in December 08 and I complained to them about how ridiculous it was that I had to keep going back there to get a new phone that ended up being junk every time. They told me the best they could do was send me the EnV3 in the mail within a few business days. What I guess I'm really asking is, Is the EnV3 any better? Have any of you guys had them or had problems with them?

Answer 1

Look the phone up on phonescoop.Click the review tab to read about the phone.Read full reviews along with if people have had problems with the phone. So far I haven't seen many people complain of it. I have seen more people complain about the Env2. I think the Env3 is a good improvement coming from the Env2.

Answer 2

Nope I don't think so....some people like it but I hated mine took it back for the enV Touch.....when I had the enV3 it kept shutting down on me(when I was in the middle of a text or on the internet) It did it to me every 5 seconds for an hour once.....I love my new phone though no probs with it at all but some people don't like touch screens
