Before buying this phone i had the lg env. I love the env, after having almost ever other brand of phone that verizon had i came to realize that LG makes the best phones. So when i decided to get a new phone i decided to go with Lg. Im glad i did. The Dare is the best phone ever. The only one i liked anywhere near it was the env. Everyone i know has a verizon phone so before getting it i asked my friends and family and tried out there phones, nothing was anywhere near as good as the dare. I bought this when it came out and have not had a problem with it at all. People say it is not a good texting phone for heavy texters but i am a heavy texter and have even sent around 30,000 txt msg in a month a have not had a single problem texting. Very easy to text with Qwerty or with Word. Another thing i love about the phone is its music player it is a very very good player. I love being able to listen to music while texting or doing other things with the ease of changing song from the main screen. Picture taking qaulity is excellent, and it has many features to edit pictures or videos. Menus are easy to use and i love the shortcut menu. Havent had a single problem with the touch screen, works perfectly even after seven months of heavy use. Battery life is amazing, never worry about it dying. Bluetooth work great. It has only randomly reset itself maybe twice but most phones do that, so thats not a problem. Overall it is such a wonderful phone. it has great features and is very great quality.
Great for Texting
Touch Screen works perfectly
Great picture taking quality
Great music player
Great Feautres

12. Better than the iPhone!

My mom just got this phone last week. It is awesome! I love how you can drag icons from the main menu to the home screen. I had to get used to texting on this phone, though. It also had handwriting recognition for dialing, but it doesn't always dial the right number that you want it to. I wish it included a stylus for that. There is also no regular DTMF tone sound for the dialpad. She decided to turn that feature off. It is a way better phone than my phone, and works better than it. I wish I had this phone!
Full keyboard, nice design, better than iPhone, works great, full HTML browser, great dialpad, drag-and-drop interface, great clarity and quality, great fit and finish, slim and sleek, there's wayyyyyyy to much to say about this phone!Handwriting recognition isn't great, no stylus included, no DTMF sound, hard to text.

This phone is AWESOME, and i have heard tons of times that people prefer this to the iPhone because the iPhone can be hacked into through text messages alot easier than the LG Dare. The phone functions great, looks awesome, picture and sound quality amazing, the internet is fast, but doesnt load the page to the full view. The only problem i have had is the texting, i used to have a razr and i would text really fast even without looking but now i have to watch what i touch. also, when you are trying to scroll down on a list it will sometime accidentally select a function you do not want because there is no scroll bar, you have to touch the phone very accuratly. Other than that its an all around great phone. It just takes about a week to get used to all of the functions and features then from there its easy. i give it a 9 out of a 10.
Fast internet
great pics
great sound
great features and funsies.Texting is a lil hard at first.

I have had this phone for almost a year now and I still love it! I did have a small issue of it locking up after I would end long calls, but I took it back and Verizon gave me a BRAND new one and that fixed that issue. I am a hardcore texter (something like 8000 a month) and it is simple to use. The virtual qwerty is a little difficult but I use the t9 anyways. It stores all of the words that I use in it. I have never had an issue with it not storing something that it didnt already know. The touch is really responsive. The battery life is one of the best that I have seen for people that text ALOT. The phone is sleek and a fairly decent size. The pictures are great. It also gives an option for video that you can record short or long videos. I like the photo editing capabilities also. The music player has a nice crisp sound. I get great reception even when in areas that are not so great. There is a neat drawing pad too. The web runs at a decent speed and it has alot of games and ringtones and the like available for it. I have tried the storm and the versa and neither seem to hold a candle to the dare. (if you dont need a smartphone.) I keep a screen protector on mine at all times, and the screen is still beautiful and super responsive. Having gotten this phone without a contract, I am eligible to upgrade, and have been for a while. There is nothing out there that I think I would want more than this phone. It is super great. I used to switch phones about every six months, but I have finally found a phone that I have fallen in love with.

15. not good after only 7 months!

I've had this phone since december 20. At first it's a great phone, great pictures, awesome touch screen. Don't let this fool you! The screen has scratched, the phone turns itself off constantly (8 times a day for me) and simply missing the button you wish to press becomes infuriating after a few months, and i have really thin fingers so it's not that they're too fat and are just missing it lol. If you're a hardcore texter like me, this phone is NOT for you. You'll miss the keys constantly and it gets sooo annoying. And if you have the phone sideways and youre using T9, it will flip to the annoying keyboard that you WON'T wanna use and once you flip the phone back to the right way, it turns into ABC texting instead of T9. I was convinced I could get used to the keyboard but it's just not worth it. You have to press the SYMBOLS key every time you wanna type ~!@#$%^&*()_+ etc. And it always forgets the words I have saved for T9 texting so don't think that will works or save you either. I hate this phone so much. Now I have to earn $429 to get a blackberry. sigh.
-Good touch screen
-Great call quality
-Great camera
-Great internet-Annoying when you miss the buttons
-Turns itself off
-Keyboard sucks
-T9 doesn't remember words
-Freezes
-Easy to accidentally press PIX message instead of TXT, then it takes forever to leave the PIX message area
-Doesn't keep camera settings
-Flash on camera sucks majorly

I've had the dare for about 8 months now and to tell you the truth, I wouldn't want any other phone. The screen is big, clear and colorful. The touch screen can sometimes become unresponsive, but after having it for so long I barely even notice it. Texting is sometimes not easy. If you don't have agile small fingertips, then using the virtual QWERTY keyboard is probably not for you. Luckly though, I find it alright. This isn't a phone for hardcore texters since sometimes you can hit wrong letters. Camera works beautifully, great picture, though the video isn't amazing if you can't hold your hand absolutely still. Video can get pixelly and jagged if jerked around even the slightest bit. The sound quality for the music is great. I love the option to change to equalizer to flat, rock, piano, concert hall, and more! Now, a major draw back for this phone is every 2 to 4 months the software or something else on it can go wacky. The first time this happened, the phone dialed calls by itself, rearrange the icons on the shortcuts bin, move around the favorites pictures, and move the pictures into different orders. Luckily, Verizonwireless offers to replace the phone for free! After I went and replaced it, 2 and a half months later, the phone no longer recognized when plugged into the charger. To charge now I have to plug into the computer, which can be a hassle. I'm going to go and replace the phone again because I love it even for its flaws. Overall, it's an okay phone with great features. Get this phone! You won't regret it!
Bright, colorful, large screen.
User friendly
Fun features
Great camera
Sound quality is really goodBecomes wonky after a few months
Not for hardcore texters
Sometimes unresponsive/restarts randomly
Bad video taking

I've had this phone for 7 months now and it's currently using the V06 firmware and i gotta say this phone has the best UI i've ever used on a touchscreen phone from Verizon i have only had problems with the hardware itself, it's well put together even though the crome on the spine gets a little worn if not cleaned regularaly but software wise it's very well balenced with todays cellular needs with a full html browser, music player, gps and a decent 3.2 megapixel camera it'll definatly get the job done although it may not live up to some of it's smarter counterparts with killer operating systems on other carriers like the iPhone or the Pre but if having Verizon's most reliable 3G network matters than the LG Dare is a winner.
easy to use, large responsive touchscreen, decent camera, access to V Cast Music w/ Rhapsody, good web browser (not the best but good).not a phone that'll last you a long time, Virtual Keyboard slow to go away on IM Client and occasionally on the Browser.

I love this phone!!!!!! What I can't stand though is that the texting sucks! I love everything about it except for the texting. I'm a major texter and with all my old phone it was fast, but with the DARE I'm slow because it's so hard.
Awesome phonetexting
