Verizon Brings LG Enlighten To The US

Well, Verizon is bringing new phone to US shores. The LG Enlighten will soon be added to the rolls of Verizon. It’s a pretty nice looking phone and this may tempt quite a few buyers to picking it up. This new Android phone is LG’s “Optimus Slider” unit and has been under development under the codename of Gelato Q. So what does it exactly bring to the table in terms of being a phone. Well, for those folks hoping to get a high-powered phone, it’s a bit of a disappointment. It would be best to chalk it up as a mid-level phone with the specs that it is packing.

So what exactly it is packing? Well, first of all, it uses an 800 MHz CPU – which is fairly decent. Surprisingly, the chip can run Gingerbread, which is the phone’s OS. The next salient feature of the phone is that it has a slide-out keyboard. This isn’t just any slide-out keyboard; the QWERTY standard keyboard is big and has larger keys. Next, is the multi-touch screen. You may think it overkill, but it provides an alternate Android keyboard if you do not want to slide out the big one. It’s also got improved power management – letting you take and make calls longer and be able to fiddle around with the WiFi/3G supplied Internet.

Overall, it’s a decent phone and should be available in Verizon plan within the month. So if you’re looking for something dependable and are hankering for a Verizon account, this baby might be in the plans for you.

My contract with Verizon is up in August, if the HTC One isn’t available by then we will definitely be moving to a new carrier. Heck, even if it is we might be. The benefits to using Verizon are few and far between at this point.

  how so? I moved from Sprint to Verizon in January & I have to say their service is far better!

    Psfh, I just speedtested my VZW GNexus at 3.43 Mbps down and .77 up in my living room. In downtown PDX. There’s not really a big difference between any of the four aside from price if you live in a metropolitan area.

      A friend of mine here in Los Angeles gets 22mb down and 4mb up on his VZ smart phone. Your problem isn’t VZ, it’s your location. VZ’s LTE is faster than my home internet (12/1.5)!

    My contract with Sprint is up end of this month (May). I’m totally fed up with Sprint’s network. What sux is that it used to be pretty good until they “upgraded” it. I was going to go with the S4 or VZ, but reviews on other carriers are saying they returned their cheap feeling S4 for the H1 and have been very happy since. So now I want the H1… but running out of time! I seriously hope it comes out on the 22nd, giving me JUST enough time to sign up with it.

  I’m with you, I’ll probably head to AT&T if they aren’t offering it by July.

I’m leaving my blackberry bold for this if it comes to VZ. If not, I’ll probably hang around for the q10.

This is really a double hit for Verizon. By that I mean that they either enjoy the fruits of selling the HTC 1 in droves or people will leave their service in droves to get it. I’m sure the issue is complicated or they would have acted on it. ATT and other HTC 1 carriers I’m sure are crying foul on this because Verizon does have the best network and with a better phone, it’s unstoppable.
