The EnV isn't the slimmest cell phone around, but it offers excellent messaging features and great multimedia options.

A new iPhone coming out later this week--but iPhones aren't for everyone. If you're looking for an easy-to-use messaging phone with a full hardware keyboard, consider the LG enV 2. This phone is now available from VerizonWireless.com for $50. That price is available only if you sign a two-year service contract, but it also gets you a good deal on a good phone. And if you buy one enV 2 (which is available in both maroon and black), you can get a second one for free.
