211. Love this phone!

4 Jul 2008 by Dennis Smith

90%9out of 10

I Bought the Samsung Glide last week. Although I really liked the design and the "Glide" out keyboard, I found the touch screen to be very unresponsive at any sensitivity setting. I returned it for the Dare and couldn't be happier. The touch screen works great, the onscreen keyboard is very easy to use for texting, full web browser works well and you can even view You Tube videos with this phone. Something that was not possible with the Glide. I also love the customizable menu tab. I Highly recommend this phone!

213. This is Great

I just got this phone today. The phone is extremely improved upon from every other touch screen phone from Verizon including the Voyager and the Glyde.

This phone looks great. The touch screen is easy to work with. The camera is terrific and it has a great new music player as compared to the other phones on verizon.

I would extremely recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a new phone.

It is my favorite phone I have ever had! Only a few touch screen responsiveness issues in the browser. Everything else was pristine!

215. Excellent phone

3 Jul 2008 by Daniel

Purchased this phone received FedEx overnight on Monday, have been playing with all features, most importantly, reception, ear piece volume, call quality and use interface and responsiveness are great! It is light, great battery life and "boots up" really fast when you start, the face panel auto locks after 1 min of non use. I would highly recommend this phone. Verizon has the best national coverage and no drop calls.

218. Finally Verizon gets a good phone

3 Jul 2008 by Brent

I just traded in my Voyager which I got 2 weeks ago for the Dare and I love it. It does everything the Voyager didn't do. It's so easy to move around in and the camera takes great pictures at a resolution that you could actually get prints of. And for all who say it's a copy of the iPhone, well the first generation of the Dare, the Prada came out before the iPhone, so enough said. It may not opperate quite as smoothly in some areas as the iPhone, but its not enough to notice, at you can send/recieve pictures and video, which the iPhone wont do. So I'll take this one!

219. email alerts lg dare

3 Jul 2008 by mike

I really like this phone. It it the best phone Verizon has sold to date. The only caveat are the email alerts. When it does alert you, it does so by launching the email app. If your not near your phone the display will never turn off, it will only dim. I guess it is because there is an app running in the back ground. Because of their excellent network it is something I can live with.

220. LG Dare, dares to be a let down

3 Jul 2008 by Alberto Cabrera

78%7.8out of 10

First off, i apologize for comparing a lot of it's features to the iphone...but the fact is the LG Dare is daring to be better then if not at least equal to the iphone.

The LG Dare is the US version of the Prada phone. Even though the Prada phone had it's misses it was a very well presented and well design phone. The LG Dare comes like all phones. In a verizon/lg card board box. Nothing special there. The phone itself is well protected with clear shield all over. The size is compact and the overall design is nice. It feels light and cheap in my hands. The bac was made of a high end rubber and the front is a chrome plastic.

At first, I was very excited to get this phone. I finally had a all in one phone with a reliable service. Well, i notice that a lot of it's features mimic the iphone as well as the icons. (with the black theme selected) The scrolling was not smooth at all. You had to really press on the screen and sometimes which ever link your finger tip was on would be activated.

As far as a full HTML browser...it really doesn't have one. It uses the VCAST browser which is a enhance mobile web version. It worked okay...but not all the time. If the site wasn't mobile web friendly it would come up missing sections or not at all. The camera was the best feature of this phone. I loved it. It worked great and it was nice to have a higher end lens for a change on a US phone. Bluetooth, well it did it's job well like always. i was able to connect to everything. Stereo, Headphones and to my mac which gave me access to the 8gb MicroSD card.

The music player tried to mimic the album flow of Apple, but did a snotty job of it. It wasn;t smooth and for some reason it would recognize some of the album art from my mp3s. It was just frustrating simply because we all seen this type of feature work well and very smoothly on another device.

Beside the camera. V NAV is worth every penny. It was the best thing VCAST has to offer. But you can get v nav on a cheaper phone and it would work just s well. Overall, at the end of the day i was disappointed. The Dare is a phone that does everything the iphone basically does, but it doesn't do it well. I returned mine the next day. I regretted it because it is a cool phone. But a partially good phone is not worth paying $200.00 for, when there is a better phone out there. As far as VCAST...accept for the V NAV all the other feature seem to make the Dare worst.

And here is a something that bugs me about all these companies trying to make the next iphone. If you want to compete...make something that is mac compatible. Apple makes their products windows compatible. Nuff said. I hope this review help giving you a better insight to the LG Dare.
