Verizon gets official with green enV, exclusive to Circuit City
Yep, it's real! In case orange or the original gray scheme weren't to your liking, the LG enV on Verizon can now be had in a "hot new green color" (their words, not ours) -- but only at your friendly local Circuit City location. It seems this particular version has been designated as a Circuit City exclusive for the time being, fetching $149.99 after a $50 rebate on contract. The spec sheet remains the same, so unless something about this color really speaks to you, we wouldn't worry about it.[Via PhoneMag]
Update: Verizon's now revised the price down to $79.99 after rebate. Sounds a lot better than the original price, yeah?

Wrong on that price guys.
It's $99.99 after the $50 MIR.

Interesting, Verizon's press release clearly states that it's $150 AFTER rebate. Not that we're complaining!
Cheers,

Chris, walk into a Circuit City yourself, or give the local one a call. Trust me, it's $99.99 after rebate.

Wasn't disagreeing with you; likely an error on Verizon's part. When we get official word, we'll update the post. Thanks for the heads up.

i wish they would come out with a
pink to support breast cancer.
and i agree with the camo comment.
still set on getting an orange.
when i heard there was a green one,
i also thought it'd be bright green.
this color is just ugly.

Um... I think a more appropriate description of this color would be hideous.

I've got a friend who almost had her head explode from excitement for this color (and I don't think it's half bad either). To each his (or her) own.

Pretty much. That and the price difference were my reasons for getting this color.

I bought one on Sunday... I have to say I love the color. In person, it's a little lighter and is a metallic. I was eligible for some kind of Verizon deal, so I paid $50 there and received paperwork for a $50 mail-in rebate... so the phone will be free!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I am waiting for that new LG 10 000, (c'mon people, how long do I have to wait?) and any upgrades - wider screen, for instance - it will have.
In time for Christmas will be just fine.

Actually in the North-East Region you can pick one up for $79.99 after $50 Mail in Rebate. I'm not sure what the pricing in other parts of the country.

More pictures of it are here( http://knightknetwork.com/2007/08/28/prerelease-pics-of-lg-vx9900-green-env/ ), and a quick look at the cell phone tag will show you pictures of the snappier looking Orange version along with the available themes and the screen savers (same on the green and orange)

Just to echo the comments by others...the price in Circuit City (until 9/22 if I'm not mistaking) is $79.99 after $50 rebate. This is true at least in GA (where I am) and Florida (where my mother just purchased hers yesterday). If you have the original silver version (I base this on the one I purchased in December of 2006) there are only a couple of small differences. Originally, the orange key in the upper left hand corner (when the enV is opened to the QWERTY) was labeled "Email". It is now labeled "enV" and takes you to a shortcut menu that allows you access different features including the 2 demo games now included (Tetris and Pac-Man. But again, these are only demos). Also, the black area around the speakers of the inside of the phone is shiny as opposed to the matte version of the original. Other than that, everything else seems to be the same. The color looks a little different when you see it in person than it does in the pics so you may want to consider that if interested in it. Also, if you go to the Circuit City website you may notice that the site lets you place an order online and get the $50 off as an instant rebate instead of dealing with a mail-in rebate. DO NOT DO THIS!!! You will not receive your order because the order is sent to the Verizon internet sales department and they do not have the phones for shipping purposes. I was able to take my email receipts to the local CC store and was sold the phone with the instant rebate to compensate for the error.
