”Lightning Review: LG enV2 from Verizon
The Gadget: LG's enV2 for Verizon Wireless, a sequel to their fat but fun text message machine, the enV, with a flip-up QWERTY keyboard.
The Price: $130 after rebate.
The Verdict: If you liked the enV, you'll go nuts over the enV2—a remarkable improvement in almost every conceivable way. Check them out, body to body, interface to interface, right here.

Whatever diet LG put the enV to whip it into the enV2 is fan-freakin-tastical. It's significantly slimmer, sharper and lighter. What's sweet about the midget dust magic is that it isn't smaller and sexed up just to be smaller, it actually feels much better in your hand than the blubbery original. But the keys are a smidge bigger, so it's easier to type on than the original enV to boot. [Giz @ CTIA]Verizon's CTIA Phone Lineup: Remakes and Sequels
CTIA comes but twice a year, and it gives the telecoms and phone makers a chance to show off their coolest stuff.

Sprint LG Rumor Messaging Phone No Longer Just a Rumor
Sprint clearly didn't want Verizon enV users to have all the messaging fun: the LG Rumor looks about the same size as the latter-day enV, with a slideout QWERTY keypad. Features include 1.3 megapixel camera, (new?) Sprint POP3 e-mail client, Bluetooth, a MicroSD card slot and GPS with Sprint Navigation. The catch, if there is one, is that this isn't an EV-DO phone: it runs on the older 1XRTT voice-and-data network only. You can use it as a cellular modem, though it will cost you extra and will only deliver 1X speeds. And unlike the enV, this 0.7"-thick Rumor doesn't come in green: just black n' blue or white n' silver. It'll set you back $80 after 2-year agreement and $50 rebate.

Though images have leaked here and there, not much was known about the LG VX10000 from Verizon Wireless. Sure, when open, it looks like the QWERTY-obsessed LG enV, but when closed, it's got way more of a Prada—or dare I say iPhone?—vibe. More details and full gallery after the jump.

A shot of the new LG VX10000 was recently posted in the forums, revealing what could be the successor to Verizon's enV branded phone. Other than a slightly sleeker design and what appears to be a larger screen, not much information is known. There is no word yet on pricing or availability.
