Up close with the Motorola W385, LG orange enV for Verizon

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 4th 2007 at 11:49AM

We've known these two were in the pipe, but there's something about big, pretty pictures that really drives the point home. First up is the Motorola W385, an entry-level flip that borrows some design cues from its KRZR stablemate while deleting the external music controls and "ooh, shiny" finish. The orange VX9900 enV is... well, orange -- a color probably well-suited for the phone's decidedly funky attitude and target demo. Check the gallery for more footage!

[Thanks, anonymous tipster]

yeah, you can order the orange enV on the 15th of June from the verizon website, I'm currently waiting to order as I write. I don't know if you can get it any sooner than that.

I notice some "button changes" on that enV. First off, on the front display, the send and end buttons aren't red and green... 2nd.. the "email" button on the whole keyboard says "enV" instead of "email" as on the orig. enV

i feel like i might get sick of the color orange as a phone, but i cant decide if i want the original enV or the orange one, can anyone tell me which one is better and what else they added to the new orange enV?

Can anybody tell me, I`m from Norway, is it possible to order it from here? In that case, can anybody send a link from where you can order it?? I really want this phone, but nobody I know has heard of it before..
