phones were so cool during this era
Agreed, I miss the variety.
I had the Voyager, it was an amazing phone.
I never had any of these but wanted them haha
Had the Voyager and the EnvTouch... loved those phones. Found some really cool RPGs to play on them. Landstalker was my favorite.
I wanted them so bad when they were out haha. I had the Samsung Eternity and Impression and they didn't have much from what I remember.
I had a military green EnV in highschool. I've even considered going back to it, because I don't like how reliant on my smart phone I am. It was just such a solid phone for it's time, and I still haven't used a phone that was better for Tetris lol.
You'd sure turn a lot of heads if you did that today haha
My mom had an env1 and I was in love with it when I was little. When I got old enough for my own phone my mom gave me my brothers old env2. I still reminisce about the env phones because they were the coolest phones I’d ever seen. I still have mine in storage :) if I could I would 100% go back to the env2 and use it in 2022
I feel like those days were the peak of cell phones haha. Obviously they're better now, but I felt so much more excited about phones back then.
My friend had the original EnV and I was always jealous of that. My mom got the EnV and then I got the EnV Touch and it was great. Miss having a physical keyboard
Also RIP LG phones
I was always so jealous haha. The keyboards were great.
I remember all of these phones and wanted every single one but they was expensive back then and also we had 2 year contracts lol and by the time the contract ended they kept discontinuing them and making one more after another lol
Exactly, plus these were all Verizon exclusives and I had AT&T haha
I was obsessed with these phones as a middle schooler.
Me too. I had a binder of their spec sheets from phonedog or phonearena because I was a massive nerd haha
@@FilMaltez omg memory unlocked of phonedog and phonearena
@@myipodisjailbroken1 I used to spend hours on those sites and channels lol.
@@FilMaltez same! And technobuffalo with Jon Rettinger
Honestly love that you made this video. A huge blast from the past. Thanks for the amazing video
I appreciate that! I had fun making it!
Holy throwback. My husband and I both had the LG enV and then the enV2. We got the enV in 2006. I remember I had the orange one and my husband had the olive green one. Then, in 2008, we upgraded to the enV2. They were really some solid phones and we never had a problem with them. As much as I love my iPhone, I REALLY miss that full physical keyboard! It made texting SO much easier and faster.
I feel like I’m so much faster on touch screen because you don’t have to press down as hard. But I was much better at touch typing without looking on physical keyboards haha
I remember also being so into phones and watching so many phone videos at this time, especially Verizon. I begged my mom for an env3 and finally convinced her when they went on sale. I went on the internet on it and bought ringtones all the time and our first bill was like $600 and she wanted to kill me lol. Then my friend gave me her moms old env touch and it was like the greatest day of my life
Omg haha. My parents would have killed me. They were so mad at me when I got a blackberry and hid from them that the bill would go up because of the mandatory data plan. They found out at the store 😅
@@FilMaltez I think they worked out the bill somehow to not be that much but wow also remembering getting a blackberry curve 9330 in middle school and having to get the cheapest $10 data plan that barely had any data for my mom to let me get it. Thanks for making this video it really brings back so many memories of just being on the carrier websites looking at phone specs lol
I had the Voyager back in 2008, it was a really good phone.
Lg Venus was my favorite verizon phone & the chocolate 2. Wish they would remake them with touch screen slide out keyboards.
still remember saving up all my money to buy the lg venus cuz my parents wouldn't get it for me
@@kingkyrgios I still have mine my bottom touch screen went out one day during senior year im so bummed till this day cause my camera roll is full and theres no way to even get to the photos 😪
I really miss those style of phone too. That's the worst. I had a similar thing happen with the Samsung Impression. The display became unresponsive so I couldn't do anything on it.
@@FilMaltez bummer 😢
After watching this video, now I'm charging my LG enV (2006). My mom held onto it until Verizon stopped service.
Everyday I use my LG enV Touch (2009) as my 2nd alarm clock. Micro USB charger.
haha that's an awesome way to keep "using" it.
I really wanted the original enV back in the day. It just had this uniqueness to it that you didn't see in many phones at the time. Ended up getting the enV2 in 09 and I had a blast owning it. I still wish I had mine... Might go look on Ebay to buy it again one of these days because nostalgia. That full keyboard was definitely a game changer!
The nostalgia was the best part of getting these haha
Everybody had the envy 2 back in 6th grade in 2011…where has the time gone
LG enV in highschool. My dad had the LG Voyager
Very nice that you got to have one!
I had the first and last ones. I absolutely loved them
My old teen self is very jealous lol
Awesome video, I’ve always wanted these as a kid but didn’t have Verizon. I had some Sony Ericsson flipphone for T-Mobile at the time. I actually just ordered a envy and blackberry bold for about $12 each just for shits and giggles. It’s kinda funny that a $500 blackberry bold is now worthless nowadays.
Thank you! I know, I had the same thought haha. I’m glad people are still selling them
Ummm, it’s missing the VX9800 ( predecessor to enV)
Definitely forgot that one existed haha.
Oh yeah, "The V" (2005) is what they called it. That phone was so much thicker than the original enV (2006)
WOW I had this phone!!!! The voyager!!! and the enV
My teen self is jealous haha
@@FilMaltez LOLOLOL
If they re-released the EnV touch with an Android OS....i would pre order
Yes, they definitely need to try something like that.
voyager was my favorite phone outside of blackberry
If these were still able to be used on Verizon, I sooooo would! I still have all of these lol
The Voyager was actually the first one made. Then it was the Env1.
I remember that after the voyager failed to live up to its "iphone killer" potential they tried to take another shot at making an "iPhone killer" and the result was the LG dare. It was so blatantly obvious that they were trying to copy the iPhone with the design. I was an LG fanboy because I loved the enV and chocolate line so I got the dare the day it released. I remember spending $400 which was sooooo expensive at the time only to be super disappointed. The hardware and look of the device was a slam dunk but... They forgot to make it a smart phone. You couldn't do shit on it. Great looking device with a touchscreen that (at the time) was the best in the industry. But when it came to software and features it was nothing compared to an iPhone, blackberry or even a sidekick.
I remember the dare! I got the Samsung eternity which was Samsung’s attempt at it but same problem, it wasn’t a smart phone. And the touch screen was awful over time.
Had all but the enV touch. Loved them all, the only issue I had was the charger pieces would always break off.
Yeah I can definitely see that happening.
My favorite was hands down the Voyager. It was my first touch screen phone. I had that baby for years until she just wouldn't charge any more. The enV 2 was my least because of the size of the front screen. Everything had to be done internally except phone calls. And trying to use the outer screen for selfies was pointless. The enV definitely had it beat on the selfie mode. Though the Voyager and enV touch were the best.
Fun fact LG wanted to call the enV touch the Voyager 2 but a bluetooth company took the copy rights to name voyager so they settled on the enV touch
i always used iphone but after watching gossip girl, i want those phones so bad 😩😩
Haha these phones were used in so many shows
My parents had the newest one, the EnV Touch
I’ve been looking for the version of NFS that was on this phone because it’s better than the java version
Nice!
I have an enV touch. Still works, but gets no service after verizon's 2g/3g shutdown.
I really miss clamshell qwerty's
My baby brother wants this phone so bad so I search on amazon but there all used and am not going to buy him something that’s used during this time but still thanks for the video and if there was a new one I looked for reviews but there all like 144p so thanks
No problem! Just keep in mind I don't think you can activate any of these phones anymore.
My sister had the Voyager always wanted one myself.
I used to want one so bad when I was younger also! I had AT&T and for so long they barely got phones like this.
@@FilMaltez in 2008 I bought the Moto Q9c. AT&T did have the iPhone though. Which would be remembered?
@@kchalu ah yes, they did have the iPhone. I feel like AT&T were just lacking phones like the voyager that technically weren't smart phones and required the data plan back then. The AT&T Quickfire was the first like it that I can remember and it was recalled not too long after it came out. I had the Samsung Impression and loved it back then.
@@FilMaltez I understand. I think Verizon knew that variety was important to people. Now everything is the same.
@@FilMaltez I want to buy an enV Touch off eBay. Does it use usb for charging or something else? What about the others?
I wanted the voyager so badly when I was in middle school but my family had T-Mobile so I couldn't get one!!
My friend at school had one but got a new phone and gave their's to me so I could play with it and pretend it was mine lmao
I used to "switch phones" with friends who had voyagers for a few periods in high school for the same reason lol. We had AT&T at the time.
So I had a voyager, the reason I came to this video is because My galaxy flip reminds me of the voyager
I had the same thoughts when that phone came out lol
@@FilMaltez totally meant the fold but you got the idea lol.
I miss the days these phones were popular
So do I!
Great video
Thank you!
I miss the env2.is there anyway my prepaid service will allow me to use a keyboard?! I really miss it.your not alone i hate that all phones are touch
As far as I know, none of these phones can be activated anymore. I activated a Blackberry for a day for a video I ended up scrapping and while I missed the keyboard, I'm much faster on touch screen lol.
I find it so funny how the LG Voyager and a Samsung Instinct were both feature phones but both dubbed iPhone killers. So bizarre lol
I know, it's so weird looking back haha. I remember being so jealous of Papi Jump on iPhone when I had Blackberry haha
Can you please compare these all to the LG Rumor, Samsung Rant and Samsung Instinct?
I'm definitely thinking of using these phones somehow for future videos. If I have the chance to purchase those, I'll definitely compare them!
I wanted all of those but I was on Sprint. The only texting phones were the Rumor and the Rant 😒
Haha, I was on AT&T so we had the Pantech Matrix I think it was called, and then the Quickfire, which got recalled. We eventually got the Samsung Impression and LG Xpression, but Smartphones were becoming more popular at that point. I wanted these so badly too.
Fil Maltez we got the LG Rumor Touch by the time feature phone + internet plans were the same price as smartphone plans. So unfortunate. Should’ve come out in 2007.
I had the Samsung Impression as my last feature phone. I want to say this was in 2010. I didn't have data and wanted to add it and was shocked that the data plan was so close in price to a smartphone. So that's when I jumped ship and moved over to smart phones.
Youre missing the original! The lg V
Yeah, I completely forgot that existed until after I made the video haha
For some random reason I bought the Voyager 3 after this but fuck do I need a form factor with physical keyboard like that now
haha yes I miss being able to touch type on a physical keyboard. Blackberries were the best for that. I can do it pretty well on touch screen but it's not the same haha.
I REMEMBER THE ATTENA AND NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS CALLED UNTIL TODAY
I had completely forgotten that it was even a thing until I got the phone haha
Fil Maltez haha my sister had a phone with it!! i thought it was so cool
I thought it was so cool back then also!
@@FilMaltez it's crazy to think now we all just stream live tv with wifi and data
David’s Tech Talk yeah exactly!
Hello where to put sim card the first one lg
Hi! I'm pretty sure these didn't use removable SIM cards
Can I still use my env3??? Can I call people and text people??
I'm not sure if any of these phones can still be activated. I'm leaning towards no, but double check with Verizon!
@@FilMaltez on the website they say they are no longer supported, and that's the only carrier, thanks for the heart and reply!! Love your vids!
@@randumbvideos7455 Thank you, I appreciate that! I'll be making more again soon!
@@FilMaltez yessirr!!
I was too young back then! Now they're too old. So weird
I know, such a weird feeling.
What about the LG The V
forgot that existed when i did this haha
@@FilMaltez and it's also the VX9800
WAAAOOOWWW
^^
I had all these bitchs, enV touch was the shit.
These were the prime days lol
@@FilMaltez i forgot how basic the touch was lol
Oh I remember my Voyager. The stupid TV thing only worked in large cities and if I remember right, only one demo channel was free and the rest you had to pay for in classic Verizon fashion nickel and diming for the most basic stupid things.
