LG Dare Review
LG has been a leader in the touchscreen non-smart phone market since 2007 with their introduction of the PRADA GSM model in Europe. Since then, they have developed and released additional touchscreen phones, such as the Voyager, Glimmer, Vu, and Viewty; each with their own unique features. The newest device to be released is the Dare, which is available through Verizon Wireless...

If you are want to get it, don;t hesitate, go get it. It has a great music player, and an easy way to access anything you want to do.

I just bought two of these for my wife and I. Love the phone!! The only drawback is durability. This actually will remain unknown until one of us drops it. Im kinda scared to see how the phone reacts after a few drops. It is really hard to hold on to.
Great alternative to the iphone with NO EXTRA MONTHLY BILL.
Great size fits almost anywhere.
Cutting edge features.Durability? Just not sure...

So far this phone is really great. It's not nearly as clumsy as the demo model I played with at the verizon store. Upon starting the phone I was prompted to calibrate the touch screen, which i think is why it works so much better. I can easily use the qwerty keys and type very quickly. I was never a fan of texting but now it's no sweat! I've had good luck with reception as well and it works in the dead spot in my home office where my razr would always drop calls. The only drawbacks I've found it easy to hit buttons while i'm taking it out of my pocket and the vibrate setting is HORRIBLY weak. I'm used to having my phone on the desk at my work and being able to easily feel it vibrate when i have a call, but not so much with the dare. Missed a few already because of it, even if the phone is against my leg in my pocket, still hard to feel it. Adding contacts is very easy and quick. Internet works pretty well too, not quite as nice as the iphone but no problems for me so far either. camera works great and menus are really fast and easy to customize and there are more features than i'll probably ever use. over all i really like this phone.
96% awesome so farCrappy Vibrate Setting

I've had the phone for a few days now. After a little playing around, navigating the phone's user interface became fairly simple. A scroll key on the side would have been nice, since trying to scroll to the bottom of a menu can sometimes result in opening the menu item. The 3.2MP camera is great, except that it is missing a zoom feature but that seems common in a lot of newer phones. Though it is nice that you can zoom in when editing the photo and save a copy of the zoomed in view. It's also nice that it automatically saves the edit with a new file name. The web browsing and app/music downloading is wicked fast. I really miss my free ESPN MVP and hope that the software is updated to be compatable in the near future. Currently the app list is fairly slim. They should have included a single free screen protector or at least carry them in the stores. A stylus would have been nice. Overall a great phone and I love it. It's cool when it reads your text messages to you.

106. I loves me some Dare

Awesome phone. I was skeptical at first because c'mon... it's all touch screen. I wasn't sure if I would like the fact that aside from the three basic buttons on front and the side diddlies it was purely a touch screen. My main concern was the texting. After a few minutes of getting used to it, I almost find the texting to be better than a regular phone. True, its a little tricky at first but once you get the hang of it it is almost easier than a regular phone. If not easier its a lot more fun. Features are really nice. I didn't get the navigator or v-cast or any of that other jazz simply because the phone itself (even with a 2-year contract) was pretty expensive. But the set-up and completely unnecessary features like writing letters that the phone converts into text and turning it on its side to get the full QWERTY keyboard(keep in mind QWERTY is probably one of the easiest things to type on a computer) are really interesting. Sure to brighten up a boring day. The call quality is pretty good. A bit odd to hold a rectangle to your ear and talk into it but thats how most phones are nowadays. Another cool feature is when you hold the phone to your ear the screen turns off but when you put it down to look at it the screen comes back on. Again very unnecessary but very cool especially when checking voicemail and things. I'd say its the best phone I've ever had the opportunity to own (but thats true with every new phone I get). Even if you don't like the phone... it still makes you look cool. you always gotta consider that
Looks nice(in turn makes you look nice)
Fun features
Good call quality

I have the Lg Dare. This is the best phone that verizon has ever came out with. It works very similar to the iphone, but since this phone works on sensor touch screen and the iphone works on electricity generated from your fingers, it is not as responsive but for a CMDA provider at this time this is the best phone, IMO.
Touch Screen
Clear Call
Touch Screen
2 ways to input text

various texting methods
Touch Screen(sorry just had to get that across lol)

108. FIRST REVIEW PLUS TIP

I have had my Dare for about two weeks I switch from BlackBerry Pearl. I know it may sound odd but I love the change. The touchscreen is far more responsive than the trackball on the BB pearl. I know that the BB pearl has the email thing but i can get my email on the dare just the same. The 3.2 mp camera is another plus for the Dare. I am a dreamer but slow motion video on a phone ? I LOVE IT !!!!! In my book Dare vs. Pearl THE DARE WINS. This is my first review hope i did ok . LOL
Insted of looking for and/or buying a screen protector just leave the one on there that ships on the Dare take a single edge razor and cut the tab off and there you have it a FREE screen protector. Just a little tip.
The many steps you have to take in order to have custom ringtones.

I started with A Samsung U340 then I moved to the LG Voyager and neat that was like moving from a horse to a caddy, now I have moved to the LG Dare. I have big fingers and using little phones is a real pain but the Dareseems to be working just fine with my big fingers I enjoy the Accelerometer when playing music and the Camera is awesome. My Phone reseption has improved over my Voyager and texting was just as easy as the voyager all around I love My Dare.
