and weighs more than my lg 9800!

Text-heavy users, or e-mail users (since this does support Exchange) want a QWERTY keypad, for good reason. That said, most users who have phones with QWERTY keypads, especially the less-cramped slide-out style, complain heavily about the lack of a dedicated numeric pad. They're either stuck with an awful on-screen keypad (the iPhone's biggest flaw), or sliding out the keyboard, holding it sideways, typing on dual-functions buttons, then sliding it shut to speak. This gives you the best of both worlds. The standard slider design for phone calls, and the keyboard for typing. And it really doesn't look any bigger (smaller, really) than those Sidekicks which it amazes me how many people think is a reasonable size.

I measured it against my vx6700 and it's just a hair smaller.. but has 2 keypads. I had the V (9800) and the keys were cramped... but it was a decent phone. I switched to the windows mobile phone because I wanted some advanced features and a bigger keyboard... but one of my roommates has the enV vx9900 and other than the camera and the os having the blue option theme.. it's no better than the 9800... actually seems wider because it's thinner.. and sits funny because the camera lens is outside the body now. I know there are people like me with 2 phones on a family plan because they need/want the functionality of a smartphone but also want the simplicity of being able to pick up the normal phone and dial. Having one phone that does everything ...

Having owned a 9800 and upgraded to the 9900 I can assure you that the enV blows the 9800 out of the water... MY GOD how much better it is! And I loved my 9800 too!

the 9900 is crap... has an update system that fails all the time.. the os only has 2 color options (where as my chocolate has 2 different total OS themes and a couple options with 6 colors to choose from) the enV has the same size, same resolution screens as the V (even though the new wide body could accomodate a larger external), has the same keys basically on the inside (the outside's keys are now harder to dial by feel), still a non-centered spacebar, the same speakers (although they are great speakers), the same lame a$$ messaging that uses texts and makes for uber small messages, it doesn't sit flat on a surface anymore, has a strange hinge thing... the main improvements are that it's thinner (but because it's even wider, seems bigger),...
