If you’re still trolling for a mistletoe-buddy for New Years Eve or a cuddle-buddy for those cold January nights, you probably want a text-friendly phone. Verizon’s LG enV VX9900 is where it’s at, with its
nicely-spaced QWERTY keyboard, large color screen, and conveniently located space bars. There are also designated gaming keys, for the cyber-dork in you.

Take and store your party pictures with the phone generous 2-megapixel camera, view them in the 320-by-240 screen, and use the auto-focus function
if you like your photos extra-crisp. Just be prepared to wait the extra time it takes to actually snap the focused digi-pic.

All of that convenient spacing makes for a pretty big phone; 4.6” long, to be exact. Of course, if you’re getting your text or IM on during a party and you’ve had a few too many, the size does make it harder to drop your phone in a drunken stupor. Bring on the bubbly!

On the other hand, the speakers make for loud sound that seems a little more gravelly than its predecessor, the VX9800. As for its music functions, the VX9900 lost points for its lack of a “music” key. Instead, this oddly user-unfriendly phone causes its owner to type through entirely too many buttons to actually hear the music. Most cell phone gurus slapped this
phone with another “user-unfriendly” label for its slow and cumbersome web browser. Also, don’t forget all of the added fees for high-volume IMing and web-related services, which are often included in basic voice charges for full-scale superphones.

Once you’ve given up on the MP3 player, the browser, and the ladies, you can always call your mom and complain about it. And, lucky for you (not so much for your mom), you’ve got five whole hours to empty your head before your battery dies. And that’s worth a little gravel, right?
