I have to admit the LG enV Pro has my interest piqued. I have been with Verizon since my first cell phone and graduated through the RAZR and moved into a succession of LG phones. The final set of devices I owned before making the switch to Android were the LG Voyagers and their eventual successor the LG enV Touch. When the potential for a handset I was quite endeared to be reborn as a dual-touchscreen Android device my excitement eventually gave way to the realization that the phone probably wouldn’t live up to Verizon’s other Android handsets, and it looks like that may be true.
The phone, seen here in a new set of images uncovered by an.Droid-Life (I see what you did there, Kellen), is said to have been dropped from its November 11th launch date after failing to impress Verizon test groups, according to Android and Me. The keyboard looks just about as awesome as those featured on the Voyager and enV Touch, but the handset seems to lack a certain amount of refinement that has become associated with Verizon’s Droids. Word is this would have been targeted as a mid-range device.
Will this get a release? Or is it truly doomed to a world of what could have been? I guess we will know soon enough.
