I really thought that the Samsung Sway would be my choice in the end. I love Samsungs and my last three or four phones have been Samsungs. LG is really more of Joshua’s brand.

And yet…when he got his enV2 in the mail, I found that I kept wanting to play with it. Every time I thought, “okay, I’ll get the Sway,” something changed my mind. Unfortunately, the Sway was free at Walmart and the enV2 was not, and I was not about to spend $30 on a phone when I could buy Noah a swim diaper (see, my priorities are perfectly straight, tyvm). And of course, the day after he upgraded his line, Verizon added a BOGO for the enV2 on their website! So, I tried to convince myself that I still liked the Sway better but Joshua convinced me that it would only be like paying $15 per phone.

But! My husband, the brilliant man that he is, called Verizon and talked them into honoring the sale for us anyway. This meant that I couldn’t get my phone the same day because it had to come in the mail but it did mean that we wouldn’t spend a dime on it. It came in two days later and I have *loved* it ever since.

I’ll update in about six months to see if there are any issues and then again at a year but I anticipate this phone lasting me the full two years. It feels sturdy, looks pretty and works great. I’m definitely thrilled with it. Second best Mother’s Day gift ever for now!
