Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless has recently announced the availability of three new LG handsets, namely LG enV 3, enV Touch and Glance, which were already expected to come to its offering, and which had been leaked into the wild a few times before, though no exact release date has been unveiled until now.

The new LG enV 3 is already on sale for Verizon's users, and it is available for purchase as of May 29 for a price of $129.99 upon the signing of a contract agreement with the carrier and after a $50 mail-in rebate. Those who would like to acquire the phone will find it available in two different color versions, blue and red, or Slate Blue and Maroon.

The device includes a full QWERTY keypad, a horizontal clamshell form factor, two displays, support for VZ Navigator, Bluetooth connectivity, a 3-megapixel photo snapper, and a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space, offering support for up to 16GB of removable memory. Those who are already familiar with the phone know that it comes as a successor of the enV 2.

The second LG device in the line is the LG enV Touch, which resembles in a way the enV 3, comes with two WVGA displays and includes more features than its counterpart. The phone sports a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper with auto focus, a 3.5mm headset jack, support for VZ Navigator, and document reader.

The handset will become available for purchase with the operator on June 5, and it is expected to feature a price tag of $149.99 after the signing of a two-year contract and after a $70 mail-in rebate. June 5 is also the day when Verizon will launch the LG Glance, a basic candybar device that comes in an ultra-thin design, sports a QVGA screen, a 1.3-megapixel camera and support for VZ Navigator. The phone will feature a price tag of $49.99.
