The Phone I’m Getting: LG KEYBO (aka LG enV2)
Oct 29th
I’m sure you’ve seen my posts about my previous posts about my decision between the LG Rumor and Vantage. I was very sure that I wanted the Rumor-it’s slim, has a great QWERTY keyboard–but lacked 3G data and was severely lacking in screen size. So after much looking and reading I’ve decided that the LG KEYBO (enV2 in US). The phone has a big keyboard, a large screen, 3G data, and seems much more robust and durable than the Rumor.
[UPDATE] It seems that Bell offers the Rumor, Telus offers the KEYBO-and cannot be unlocked to the opposite network. Generally both companies offer roughly the same packages and reception-the only reason to go one way or the other is the phones (in most areas).[UPDATE]
I’ve searched the internet for reviews, coverage, anything! But it only seems to be trickling in to the mainstream in the last two weeks. (The phone is new-August 2008) And so, I’ve thought I should post a collection of links to possible KEYBO buyers.

A longer review-note that Canadian users don’t get the ‘v’ features, Telus users get SPARK)

- I’m not saying that Obama’s the right choice, or that McCain is the wrong one… I’m just asking if politics the right choice? #
- Has anyone noticed that “election.twitter.com” has the political colors mixed up… Republicans are blue-Democrats are red… #
