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

-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!

User friendly
Fun features
Great camera

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

I have had this phone about 4 months now and my only concern is it sometimes resets itself while looking through past text messages or on sites like facebook. it's very easy to use once you get used to the touch screen. I've gone through about 6 verizon phones in the last two years and this is by far my favorite of the bunch.
stylish
easy to use
great design
takes excellent photos
hard to text quickly
resets randomly

ive had this phone for about 9 months now, and ive got to say that its a great phone. The touchscreen can be clunky at times but overall its been great. The camera is amazing, it takes GREAT pictures but it could use better zooming. The internet on this phone is mediocre, not that great, not even close to an iphone in my opinion. Texting on this phone can be a big pain at times, it doesn't respond at times which messes up your messages, this is not the phone for hardcore texters. Call quality is great, its clear. I haven't had any problems with calling.

Ive had my phone for 8 months and I love it. Im only on my second one and thats only because the hard drive crashed on the first one after a day. Ive dropped it countless times and there are no cracks or scratches on it. I have the Zagg Invisishield on and it looks even better than when you buy the phone from the store. All of the features are extremely easy to use. The only complaint I have it the qwerty Keyboard, my fingers are a little too fat for it and they hit the wrong key ofter. Using the T9 word is extremely easy and fast. I send about 9000 texts a month and its fine for me.
Camera
Responsive Touch screenLittle rubber covering the headphone jack is very easy to use. Maybe some sort of sliding device would work better.

This phone is great! The touch screen is very accurate, the call quality is loud and crisp, and the display is very sharp. Oh, and texting horizontally is easy to get used to. Not good for heavy texters though. Music on this phone is great also! Get a warranty on this phone though.
Accurate touchscreen
Brilliant display
Texting not bad at all
Music quality is great
Call quality is great
Small, light, and compact
Picture quality is good
Great interface
Very customizableNot for heavy texters
Turned off by itself once and once in a while the backlight doesnt turn off
NOT MUCH, GET THIS PHONE!
