m stands for mobile. Many sites have a m. or /mobile, and a few other variations, that their server sends you if detects a mobile browser, tho somtimes you have to manually enter the correct mobile site.

got the phone on Friday.. love it, and defiantly agree with the review, did notice a software glitch.. the thing reboots periodically when paired with my cars bluetooth.. has happened 3 times in the course of 4 hrs. anyone else notice similar flakiness, trying to get my ducks in a row before wasting my time with verizon tech support to get the issue resolved.

If you are having issues with the phone send it back. Never keep a phone that has any sort of issue with in the first week. You probably just got a bad one.

with anything you buy the first week, you get to be the unnoficial "tester" testing in a lab is not nearly effective enough. They will patch anything soon!

Funny, I have the same problem when I'm connected via Bluetooth to my MacBook Pro... Every so often, the phone just reboots.

This phone is just okay. For me, I would get the EnV2, as I prefer to have a QWERTY keyboard that you can feel and not mess up on as much as this "QWERTY" keyboard, which is why I have the EnV2. Having a touch screen is cool, but it's not for me. Overall, great phone, not for me.

I've had the phone for almost a day now. And the whole about the virtual QWERTY keyboard is not true. I have pretty big hands and i have no problem whatsoever with the QWERTY on the Dare. The response is pretty accurate, even with hands as big as mine. If you mess up alot on it, then it most likely human error and just takes some getting use to.

Just a few questions....I got my Dare and i love it! But, has anyone else noticed that when u r taliking on the on the phone theres a noise that kinda sounds like air in the background? U can here the other person really clearly there just seems to be a background noise. Also, with the camera has anyone noticed that when u push the button to take the picture it is really delayed. Again it takes awesome pictures it just seems to take a minute to snap after u push the button. If anyone has some insight on these things I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

ok i think the air in the background that u hear might just be ur phone.. try to send it back.... i have the phone too, i don't have that problem.. the camera delays when it takes a picture .. becuz it's focusing right, before it takes the picture.. it needs to do that otherwise u woul get blurry pictures...

The Verizon Dare phone will put the Apple iphone to shame. I got my Dare phone on 07/01/08. Muhammad Ali may be "The Greatest," but the LG Dare phone is the latest. On a scale of 1-10, I rate the Dare a 20.....
