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...

I'm bout to give u the low down the phone is ok, here is all off the - things about the phone the phone is so loud when on a phone call my wife can here my phone call even on low, when you are on the web the screen sticks the touch on the web sucks badly. Your touch on the key board will start togo out it will not be on point & you will find yourself pushing 2 keys at once trust me this is my second 1. I already went back to the voyager its the best phone out right now & it has mobile TV what more can you ask for.The battery life isnt that great but thats why you get a charger in the box when you get the phone. * the dare go with the VOYAGER allday TRUST me.

I have only had this phone for a day, but played around with a friends for a while before buying it for myself. I love the sound quality, the music quality, the camera, just about everything on this phone.
The ONLY thing I don't like on this phone is the internet. It's not like the internet on the ipod touch or the iphone. Its still workable, but nothing like the iphone.
Everything else was great! Its easy to use, skinny, touch screen is great, sound is great, very easy now to transfer music from your computer to the phone, I can't complain about anything on this phone but the internet. So that's all, great buy and definitely worth it!!

123. Awesome Phone

The LG Dare is absolutely amazing. I have owned it for a week now, and, after owning 15 different phones, I must say that this one absolutely takes the cake.
The phone is very slim and light, which I like. I dont like to feel like i have a big brick in my pocket. This I cant even feel, its very slim.
The touchscreen is great. There is a slight vibration when you touch the screen so you know that the phone recognized your touch. This vibration can be customized to be a Short, Double, or Long vibration, and you can change the vibration to be Low, Medium, or High.
This phone is fast. Unlike some of my past phones (notably the Motorola RAZR) you had to wait a VERY long time for menus. Not this phone. Im very impressed at which the speed it preforms operations - especially for the level of technology that this phone is at.
The Camera on this phone is very good. At 3.2 megapixels, it is the highest megapixel camera on a cell phone in the U.S. There is face detection on it as well. Indoors, photos tend to be a bit blurry (low light), but outdoors they come out quite well.
Reception on this phone is very good. Only rarely do i have no bars, and even then calls and texts can still be placed.
Also, battery life is very good. 2-3 days I get on mine, with heavy usage of music, text, and internet. (This may vary by use)
Okay, on to features.
Internet browser - best browser I have seen on a feature phone (non-smartphone). Full HTML - that means no junky mobile pages. If you want you can disable images so that pages load faster.
Music - absolutely wonderful. You can put your music on this phone, and it supports up to an 8GB microSD card. I havent used my ipod for music since i got this phone. Another great thing about music on here is that you can start playing a song, and then text, browse the internet, etc - and the music will keep playing. If you get a call, the music will pause and resume when you pick up.
On screen Keyboard - I personally use the on screen T9 keyboard for texting. The QWERTY works very well, and I use that primarily for web browsing. Both are very very responsive. Although they do require a bit of time to get used to, they work very well.
Overall, incredible. I love this phone. It is great. It is the best phone out for Verizon right now, and I think that it will continue to be a phone to which others will be compared.

124. cool but returned it

The Phone has cool options , but honestly the internet ran slowly, the phone doesnt have a link to a computer to add or save numbers so i felt that it wasnt worth my time... I liked the keyboard (virtual) size it was workable and the phone was nice light and small, but it really was hard to deal with after owning PDA phones for the last 5 years ...

WOW! I have the LG Dare one day and I love it. Its features are fantastic. You can work your way around it very easily. Sound quality is good. The price is a little to much but pretty much worth it. I have been looking to upgrade for months and along came the Dare. I am glad for these reviews and info on all the phone to decide which one I truely would be happy with. One thing you should know about is the Calibration. When you first activate, you absolutely need to calibrate the phone. I was not sure how that worked so I called Tech support and they were very nice and helped me to do that. Its just a matter of touch. When you see 4 arrows pointing to a center dot, touch it, it will go to corner of screen, touch it again. Each time it moves, touch it until it disappears. The LG Dare is a fun and amazing phone and would recommend it highly to everyone and anyone. You will be very happy for a long time to come with the LG Dare.

The Dare is all the said it was. Great phone light weight and reliable.
Touch screen is great a little slow at times if you have fat fingers.
Using a stylist solves that problem easliy Should have come with one.
The EnV was better for texting speed but with a little use the Dare can text almost as fast. Again a stylist solves the speed problem as well.
Camera is way better the my digital camera, and the sound quality is better the any cell or land line I have every used.
All in all the best phone I have used to date.

129. Killer phone!!!

It is super easy to use and gets the job done. The touch screen is awesome! I recently upgraded from an older smartphone and I have to tell you- I love it! very nice touch. I am not kidding- you can lay the phone down on the table and do EVERYTHING with one hand! Text, pix message, contacts, place calls, speaker phone, pictures (you can browse pages and photos with a swipe of the screen like the iphone) the whole deal. You can old school text or turn the phone on its side and the screen rotates to a ful QWERTY keyboard touch screen. price was great too ($200.00 upgrade cost). Battery life has been excellent as I use the phone alot! The size is just right to keep you entertained watching videos. Fits in your pocket real nice, super light and easy screen lock/unlock too. The only disappointments I have (found out about these after I bought the phone) you cant use sounds and music as ringtones from your SD card and the ZOOM on the 3.2 MP camera stinks!! Overall, a fantastic phone! I love gadgets and this one is fun to mess around with! Watch your back iPHONE! LG is on to something!! ;)

I was really looking forward to getting an iphone but ATT didn't service my area and I was forced to "settle" for a Dare. But after a couple of weeks playing with the Dare I am truly impressed. Sure there are some setbacks - no multi-touch interface, sticky camera/video buttons and a few software flaws -- but it really is a fun phone. And the added features - screen vibrates when touched, slow motion video, cool favorites menu, and fun handwriting screens make up for it's shortcomings. Good phone.
