LG enV Touch spotted on Best Buy's online store

An eagle-eyed reader has spotted the LG enV Touch available for sale on Best Buy for a whopping $599.99. This is much more than the anticipated $219.99 with a new two-year agreement with Verizon, so we're guessing this is the full price without a contract. Also, somebody at Best Buy must have jumped the gun because the original estimate was that the enV Touch was to be in stores starting June 5 (though that is an unofficial rumored date). Verizon has not responded to us about this at the time of this writing.

The LG enV Touch, as you might recall, is LG's successor to the LG Voyager. It will have a full touch-screen interface on the front and a QWERTY keyboard when you flip it open. Features include a 3.2-megapixel camera with flash, visual voice-mail support, MMS and text messaging, a full HTML Web browser, e-mail, EV-DO, V Cast Music access, stereo Bluetooth, a microSD card slot that can support up to 16GB of memory, GPS, and more.

Thanks, Vinnie, for the tip!

The LG EV3 is also listed on the Best Buy website.

Although this looks like a cool phone, I still like my original Voyager. I would get this phone next, but I'm waiting for the iPhone to come to Verizon; we'll see.

Looks like BlackBerry Storm knock-off ... and we all know how that one turned out. Also reminiscent of the failed Motorola touch phone that also did not work out too well.

This is exactly what happens when you fail to innovate and instead chase tail with the iPhone

What's the difference between that and the Voyager exactly?

[brandonh33]

Not too much. The screens are slightly bigger. There is a 3.5mm jack. Better camera w/flash. The phone is a bit less chunky. There is a new gui but nobody knows if it will just be a slightly redesigned version of the old one or if they built a new one from the ground up. I sure hope its all new but it is on verizon, who happens to be famous for horrible interfaces.

I have a voyager right now and might sell the one I have for this but I am really going to have to see it first, as it doesnt seem to be that much better.
