Who wants an LG enV in Dark Green?

LG enV VX9900 in dark green drab military color

In a world full of fun and attractively colored mobile phones, it’s a bit puzzling as to why LG would think an Ugly Dark Green color scheme could actually help sales of the LG enV VX9900. Nevertheless, we have reason to believe that LG will be updating their popular keypad/keyboard hybrid LG enV VX9900 with this cool new color before replacing the VX9900 with the VX10000.

What, is silver, black, or even bright orange not enough to appeal to everyone? And, on that note, who does this puke color appeal to? Seriously, speak up if you do, we’re really curious.

We don’t have any info on pricing or release dates, but expect to pay a bit of a premium for the attention-getting new color. Although, all those stares are likely to be those of disbelief and shock as opposed to those of envy.

    i like it. the orange is too bright and too many girls i know have it. but the silver one doesnt have as better features as the orange (ie the video is only 15 seconds vs 30 in the orange) but the green is actually much cooler. i think a victory red or some form of red woul have been a better choice but still an overall better color for a device named “enV”

  2. max says:

    wait there’s a black enV?

  3. Charles says:

    This is really great I would actually have to say…
    My favorite color is green…Im 17 and I go to a high school where everyone wants to have the cool phone and by having this phone I will join the category soooo….

  4. connor says:

    its not that bad :roll: :???: i kinda like it it would be better if it was brighter

  5. Dan says:

    I am really puzzled, why not just a black one?

  6. Ann says:

    I have the silver one as for 15 sec videos my phone can take videos as long as u want them to be. I think the longest i have so far is over 17 min. Under options u change the setting from message to storage and that gives u unlimited videos. As for the new color its not bad my daughter is in high school and do for an upgrade soon and thats the phone she wants is the green envy.

  7. cheyenne says:

    i would love to have that green color env it would definetely look like a camo color and i could use that phone while hunting and its actually not a bad color.

  8. Chloe says:

    it’s not that bad of a color… I just wish it would have been either red or even pink! I mean come on, orange?!

    They could have at least done a lighter color green though. Not so much green with envy with this one.

    There’s a black one out now too?

  9. kurt says:

    i like the new green a lot better than the others. the orange is ugly as hell and the silver is too common.

  10. ash says:

    i like the green

  11. alix says:

    The green enV isn’t common and no one else has it. Personally I like this phone and the orange and silver are too common almost anyone has a silver phone. I mean common get real here!! Plus! I’ve noticed alot of my friends that hunt like this “hunter” green enV.

  12. Alyli says:

    Since green is my fav color I am all for this. I was excited to hear of a green chocolate til I saw the shade. Ick.
    I’m more for sage green, but this forest color works for me. Getting it soon YAY.
    Ya the orange is just ew. And oh, the Voyager is not replacing the EnV. Its a series on its own yet in the same class.

  13. Emma says:

    i think that the green is alright the orange no way i mean really why would they choose that color i say that they should make a hot pink one or like max said red any form of it because i agree with him on that color for a phone called n envy idk i hear envy i think devil or sin or just sumthin in a form of red lol

  14. Phill says:

    :mrgreen: I LOVE IT

  15. Jill says:

    My favorite color is Green so i bought the green chocolate. The color is alright but the phone is horrible. I have had 6 because of how many times it broke. I wanted to enV but the silver is to common and i wanted to keep my phone because it was green. When I saw that this phone came out in green i was really excited. The color could of had been brighter but I still plan on buying it.

  16. nate thomas says:

    I think the LG needs to make a flat black or a charcoal gray colored enV no shine to it just flat black or like a lighter navy blue color that phone looks like baby shit green

  17. Brandon says:

    I really like it, the silver is the “average joe” phone color. The orange is very common among the teenage girls, and the green is less common and more my personal style. I’m getting the green enV in January when I renew my contract.

  18. Mike says:

    I really like this green color, it’s only 100 dollars at Verizon now. I’m getting it in a week when my plan ends, and I can’t wait! The silver is boring, because everybody has it. The orange is WAY too girly, and, yes, the green is a little strange, but I LOVE IT!
    It’s my dream phone, I just wish that the outside screen was a little bigger…The voyager should be what i want, but for some reason, it didn’t appeal to me. it was too expensive, and also it’s a little annoying with that touch screen. I’m not a huge fan of them..

  19. Erica says:

    I think they should of made it pink :]
    i would buy it in a heartbeat!
    i have the orange one though. it’s nice.
    but I have a pink cover over it haha.
    plus, you can always put a cover over the insanely ugly green! :]

  20. Lexxii says:

    I love the green enV. green’s my favorite color,
    and i totally want this for christmas . it’d be
    the best present ever, seriously.

  21. TayTay says:

    I love the green enV. I just got it last friday and I’m still loving it. When my contract ended I was like I want the Voyager, but I thought it was stupid because I already have the iPod Touch. So I chose the enV. I didn’t want the siver one because like everyone has it. Then the orange one which is okay in my eyes but too many girls have it!!! I don’t want a girl phone color. So I was like I’ll get the green one and I do get more noticed than some of my friends that have the silver one. From LG I would have liked to see a blue one but I still like the one I have now.

  22. athena says:

    i think this color is hideous
    its like puke green
    ew, im really disappointed
    THEY NEED TO MAKE A PINK ONE!
    or red, i would buyy either in a heartbeat

    but this shit green?
    come on now. who wants that
    i am getting the enV for xmas
    and my mom keeps asking me what color
    but silver is so average
    but the orange is ok i guess?
    but the greeen is just nasty
    all these are like boy colors
    they need to come out with some cute giryl colors
    pleassssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    uh these ugly colors make me so mad

    and they do not have a black one,
    what are you people talkinga bout :evil:

  23. urworstnightmare says:

    uhmm yeah can you now. i love this phone/ have it. so yeah dont diss me kbye

  24. enV-ous says:

    I’m getting this phone in a few days and it’s taking my cell-virginity (i liked the whole “you-can’t-get-ahold-of-me-nana-na-nana-na” idea :shock: ) But after nearly getting stranded by my camp after hitting a deer, I think it’s bout time I get one. I was attracted to the enV my sister got (orange) but hated how feminine it was. The silver was ok, but so typical. I really dig the dark green but FYI — I think it looks a lot better in person — This pic in particular doesn’t do the color justice.

  25. Bethany says:

    I got the green enV for Christmas and I love it! It’s Different, that’s why I like it so much. I don’t think it’s the slightest bit ugly=)

  26. Dan says:

    the green is awesome screw the other colors and screw this review

  27. kara says:

    i hate the green and orange env!!!!!!! I am planning on getting the env soon i really want a phone wit a keyboard but the voyager is 2 expensive! i was thinking bout gettin the silver env and then just buy like a cute navy cover for it? TEll me if this is a good idea! THX!! :razz:

  28. kara says:

    or if u can tell me a place where i can write to Verizon or something to put the word in about making like a more appealing colored enV !!!!!! thanks again :!:

  29. Cuz says:

    Green is awesome! Savin’ my pennies! Nice it’s way cheaper than the Voyager too. I prefer a traditional numerical keypad, less likely to have issues as the phone gets older methinks. :idea:

    (One of these days they will just make skins (like for wii motes) and the point will be moot.)

  30. Ginny says:

    Just got the green enV today and I’m in love with it. It was an upgrade from the old Chocolate which I had to replace twice (piece of crap). I’m a total girly-girl and never thought I’d own a green phone but it’s amazing. The picture of the enV on this website isn’t extremely flattering, I prefer the way the color looks in person. But so far so good! :wink:

  31. Brian says:

    I see many people consider how cool a phone looks. I picked this phone for budget and function. I like the green. Wish I could understand the functions. How do you do the little @ symbol?

  32. Mike G. says:

    Yes the pictures of the green EnV on the website looks mad ugly, but it actually looks nice in person. It’s not as dark as the picture make it seem like. I had a 2 chocolate phones, 1 Silver EnV and thinking of buying either a green EnV or Voyager next…. Also, I heard LG will be coming out with a new color, but not sure what is the next color of EnV??

  33. Mike G. says:

    I also have the T-Mobile Shadow, but gonna sell it…

  34. bbbbbrandon. says:

    I FREAKING LOVE IT.:)
    GETTING ONE NEXT WEEK.

  35. anonymous says:

    omg. i love mine. ive had it for anout 4 months. its so great and the color is super cute!

  36. Amber says:

    i love this phone :!: :!: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

  37. Tony says:

    The new colors that came out for the enV are nasty. the dark green looks like something that came out of someones ass, and the orange is to obnoxious. Listen to this idea, the Env in all black and the button lights are red and the same thing on the inside. Think about how cool that would be just flat black with red lights.

  38. Lore says:

    Geez… it’s just a color… and if you’ve seen the phone in person, it really isn’t dark… it’s just a color… the features are what’s really important so stop whinning! Geez, then don’t get it in this color wtf.

  39. Darcy says:

    I don’t understand how so many people think this green is hideous! I LOVE it! I LOVE hunter green. Maybe its because Im outdoorsy? Anyhow…I LOVE it and would definitley choose this color on a phone rather than any other color! THANKS LG!

  40. Mike G. says:

    The pictures you see on most websites show the bad color of the LG EnV Green including the one in http://www.verizonwireless.com (a few months ago). If you check out LG website and verizonwireless now, they show the true color of the phone. My first reaction was like most people, “It’s ugly as hell”, but when I check out the phone in person, it looks very nice.
    ow didn’t know yet.

    BTW, EnV 2 came out already.

  41. jake says:

    im trying to D-side if i should get the orange or silver enV because im getting it next month cuz my parents plan runs up…im a 13 year old boy but i dont no which color to get cuz everyone has silver but idk if the orange is really that girly…..even tho my gf has it…but can some of u people try and tell which color is better/cooler???????

  42. Laurel says:

    Just get a cover.[:

  43. Raidium says:

    Agreed, get what you want. Who cares who has what. Why not just go with the green color? If all else fails just get silver and get a skin for it so you can really show off your customization. :D Go with what you feel…

  44. jake says:

    thanks i have been lookin at skins lately…thanks for the advice!!!!!!!!!!

  45. em cooz says:

  48. Alex says:

    Honastly, this phone was the best one out there when I got it (right after it came out) I love its color (green) SOOOO many people diss me for my choice but I think its cute, and thats coming from the girliest of girly girls. COuld they have made better colors? sure but this one does fine for me.
