Without further adieu--well, actually *with* further adieu because [Verizon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verizon-price-lock)’s official announcement hasn’t come yet--the new LG EnV Touch is rumored to be on pre-sale from [Best Buy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qned90t).

Live photos of the new EnV Touch were put up on the Internet by an anonymous member of howardforums.com (”...look what the [FedEx](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fedex-tracking) man brought me”).

According to Boy Genius Report, a $50 deposit will get you first dibs on the phone on June 5th, the day it is expected to become available.

The LG EnV Touch is the follow-up to the LG Voyager. It will still have both screens (the exterior one is a touchscreen), as well as a standard QWERTY keypad, 3mp camera, and a 3.5mm jack.

As far as the release date is concerned, rumors are rumors, so we’ll have to wait and see.
