The Bottom Line:
Very comparable to the iPhone, which is amazing considering the price for the phone and for service.
Those who have been watching the changing lineup of Verizon's touch-screen phones for the past three years probably haven't been too impressed until now.
I love the enV Touch primarily because it is handy. Many of its features, although not so fancy in themselves, make this phone the most convenient device to use to keep in contact whenever and wherever. It seems very often that I discover a new handy function and think, "Why didn't they think of such an obvious feature before?"
Verizon's other touch screen phones are notorious for not responding properly. I've owned the Samsung Glyde, LG Dare, LG Venus, and LG Voyager, all of which I got rid of because the "touch" function becomes literally obsolete. On each phone, I'd have to "touch" rather violently and also repeatedly in order to force the phone to respond, and this insensitivity seemed to only get worse through time and became unbearable within a month or two of ownership.
The enV Touch, on the other hand, which I have owned now since the first day Verizon released it in May 2009, seems to work exactly as it did three months ago. Also, if the touch screen becomes too cumbersome to use in situations where I'm texting a huge long message, there's always the QWERTY keyboard to fall back on.
I would say that the Touch is the most iPhone-like device that Verizon offers, which is certainly appealing to me, since I've been eagerly anticipating for Verizon to release an iPhone. The Touch can support Apps and allows you to scroll through pictures and music albums with the flick of your finger in an uncanny resemblance to the iPhone.
The interface on the Touch is definitely a selling point. One of the best features is a "Favorites" button on the bottom toolbar of the phone that allows you to pull up all your "favorites" to call or text. Just two touches and the phone is already ringing. You can also pull any menu icon onto the desktop or the toolbar so you can access your alarm clock, inbox, calendar, etc with just one touch.
The QWERTY keyboard is like a miniature laptop keyboard, unlike the ones on the original enV, the enV 2, and the Voyager. It seems much more sensible to have the space bar in the middle rather than on either side of the keys.
The Touch also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, meaning amazing picture and video capabilities.
The only downfall to this phone is the battery life. I end up charging my phone every night, although I do use my phone excessively, in my opinion.
Overall, the enV Touch is BY FAR the best phone that Verizon offers without having to pay the thirty extra bucks a month for a Blackberry. I've seen and used most of the alternatives Verizon offers, and EVERYTHING falls short of the Touch.
