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...

This phone is great! It has tons of features. Can be customized so that all of the things you use most are only 2-3 touches to get to. Web browsing is fast. Camera takes great pics, even at the lowest pixel option. calls sound loud and clear. speaker is nice and loud. its also extremely resilient. My puppy got a hold of it and there are now impressions of 3 small teeth marks in the upper left corner right next to the back button but it doesn't effect the phones response!! I'm very impressed

193. LG Dares to be Different!

I've owned the Dare for about a week now and I am overly impressed with all this device has to offer! Was trying to decide between this and the voyager and getting the Dare was the perfect choice. Its a all-in-one device for the ease of cell phone features as well as a great MP3 player and full HTML browsing that meets and surpasses any other including the I-phone. Not to mention the great capabilities of the 3.2 mega pixel camera as well as full motion video. This Camera even has full editing features of pictures you have taken. Wow!! Are you asking where you can get yours yet? Transfer of MP3's from your computer to this device work flawlessly! I have transfered several already! This Feature in the Tools menu has a USB mass storage option for easy drag and drop of any MP3 that is on your computer its as simple as that! I have also read reviews of people saying that the touch screen has sensitivity issues but they are untrue, once you learn how to "flip" the menu choices with the with the back of your index finger it works flawlessly! If your considering a full function cell phone or I might say a nice MP3 player or digital camera, look no further you have found it!

I debated buying the iphone but really enjoy the verizon network. I was browsing the verizon store and saw this phone. I tried it in the store and bought it but was still nervous about the keyboard. WOW! I am in love. Not only is the key board responsive, but when texting I can change to a full keyboard that is very responsive to my touch. I also LOVE the feature that allows you to just rotate your phone and it switches from portrait to landscape. The browser is quick. There is just a second or so lag time when I switch to email but nothing to complain about. I have owned several verizon phones and this is by far the best I have bought. A firend of mine owns the iphone and was absolutely amazed that verizon has this phone on the market that has a few more features that her iphone. This phone also comes with an 8G card free with the purchase of the phone. You can't beat the features and quality of this phone.

195. BEST PHONE ON THE MARKET YET! DARE

This phone is the absolute best phone I have ever owned! Everything on the Dare is phenomenal, from its call quality to its 3.2 megapixel camera. The touchscreen is very responsive and you can calibrate the touch accuracy with a stylus; which I have done, and has worked very well. Sensors on the front of the phone turn off the backlight when you are holding the phone up to your ear while making a call, and turn the backilght on again, when you have removed the phone from your ear.
At first, I thought I wanted the samsung glyde, but after trying this phone, i threw it out of my mind!
Some people have complained about the touch screen being unaccurate, and non responsive. THAT IS NOT TRUE!!! This phone is almost as sensitive as the iphone.
Internet is blazing fast, calls are crystal clear, pictures and videos are clear; I have no complaints of this phone!
In my opinion, its better than the iphone. I say that because i had owned the iphone for three weeks before this came out, and traded it for the Dare. The new iphone will be better than the old one, with cingulars new 3G network, but who wants Cingular? It drops calls all the time. even with full bars. Verizon has always had the best service/network and I'm glad I switched back. You dont even need one bar to make a phone call on the dare and not have a crystal clear connection.
BATTERY
The lithium ion battery that comes with this phone has an attitude like its never going to die! I left it on for 4 days straight, and still had 2 bars! with 380 hours of standby, you will rarely need to charge or turn this phone off!
OVERALL RATINGS
SOUND- 10/10
PICTURE QUALITY- 10/10

SENSIVITY-10/10 (almost as sensitive as the iphone)
NETWORK- 10/10 (verizon has best coverage)
LOOK/FEEL/WEIGHT- 10/10 (superior look, feel, and overall performance; better than most blackberries)
PRICE- 9/10 (even with my 100$ off upgrade, it was still 185$, but its definitely worth every penny!)
TEXTING- 10/10
DON'T CONSIDER ANY OTHER PHONE!! THROW AWAY YOUR OLD BEAT UP PHONE NOW AND DONT EVEN PUT THOUGHT INTO BUYING THE DARE! JUST BUY IT! DO YOU DARE???

196. LG Dare... so glad I waited for this phone!

Hey everyone, just a quick review..
I ordered the LG Dare on June 26th when it was released online, and received it on the 27th. The phone is very very light, and is a pleasure to have in my pocket, rather than my old heavy vx-9800 (the original en-v)
The navigation is my favorite thing on the phone. Now I can pull up new movies and it'll give me step by step navigation to the movie theater... literally I had the phone in my lap, and it told me when to make a left or a right.
So now I don't need a GPS system! saved myself $300...
The only thing I would say this phone needs, is a stylus.
Other than that it's a great phone.

To get this phone i happily took back my Glyde which i hated because of the horrible touch response on that phone.. but the Dare is a great phone the best i have ever had. The only problem I have had with it is how slow the keyboards switch from the 9 keys to the QWERTY board but doesnt bother me that much. i love this phone and all its features

Lets stop with these riduclus comparison to the i phone, voyager, or instint...The bottom line is that this is a great phone, best phone ever, at least that I have used. I just did an Worry free exchange from the lg 10000 (voyager) and i'm glad I did. The touch screen is responsive and very easy to use...THe web is perfect and the picture qulaity is in a class of its own. The keep it real the people we are talking about phones, again thats phone here so the number one function is CALL QUALITY and the Dare delivers that. Perfect 10 from me because in reality no one needshalf the features thats on their PHONE any how. Now thats the truth of theDare...........lol

Phone is not the best the touch feature is not the best on the text messaging. Sound quality is not the best either. Sometimes you have to push on the screen really hard and it still might not respond.

Very cool device! Interesting features, of which some are absolutely useless, that make the phone more interesting. The on-screen QWERTY keyboard is not very hard to get used to. Also the "learning curve" most people say is required takes like 5 minutes to learn! I love the phone so far. I compared it to a friend's LG Voyager, and he even liked the Dare more than this Voyager. Very lightweight device as well! I was surprised when I picked it up and felt how light it weighed. The iPhone has some true competition. If only the phone was as modifiable as the iPhone, then the iPhone would get owned...but whatever!
