LG Dare Reviews

231. A Huge Step In The Right Direction

MICRO-SD slot: Has anyone tried to use this slot? My Dare will not hold the card in place properly. Just was wondering if anyone else had this same problem yet or not?
Besides that I have had the phone since Sat June 28th, and its been great! Touch takes a little getting use to, but once you have it down your good to go.
It would be nice if there was an easier way to get 3rd party applications to work: ie "google maps."
P.S. has anyone got the phone to sync with the rhapsody music service yet?

232. Best phone I have owned!

This is a great phone for the value. You get some cool features that rival the Iphone. The only negative point is I feel like the camera takes too long to load up and take a picture. Which could be a downside if you see a crazed escaped gorilla running through your town that you want to take a picture of and reach for your phone, by the time it is ready to take a picture it is gone. Besides that the phone is great, I cant put it down.

I have tried several phones over the past few month's. I have owned the pearl ; vx6800 ; vx6900; most recently the curve, this phone is all these phones in one with its many features. I had this phone since yesterday and I must say it is the best phone out for verizon right now. This phone hands down will make all i-phone lovers take a look into owning this phone its awesome.

This phone is great. I upgraded from my LG VX-9400 and this phone is amazing.
IT has great features and is an amazing phone.
This will definately give the iPhone a run for its money.
Definately buy.

I just got my dare phone today...i called verizon and my voyager exchanged for the dare..and it was shipped to me. I do miss my key pad on my old voyager..but i love the touch screen on the dare! Being able to hand write text or even touch the screen to edit a photo is really coo. Unlike the voyager the touch screen is way better to use...i can scroll through my contacts without touching a name when i didnt mean to!...love it!

237. Gnarly phone

I don't know why people are saying they had trouble ordering the phone...I went on verizonwireless.com at 12:30 am Thursday and ordered the phone with no problem at all - I had the phone by 2pm Friday.

Anyway, the phone is great. The touchscreen is really nice, it does take a little time to get used to it's quirks, though. Good features, nice camera, all around fun so far. I live in a dead spon for VCAST so I can't enjoy that part of this phone, but otherwise I'm definately pleased.

238. #35 is an idiot

Even though the internet release date was June 26th and the stores were not supposed to 'drop the phone' until July 3rd; a number of stores that had the phone in stock(in the back); started bringing them out and selling them as people came in asking for them. From what I understand; the upper level management decided to let the stores use their own judgement on whether they would start busting out the phones and writing up contracts; lol. I got mine on June 26th.... in a store in Torrance California. And I know several people that bought them the same day. And that is just in my area. So I can only imagine how many the brick and mortar stores actually moved a week before the actual tentative Store release date.

Anyway; I have been a Verizon Customer with continuous Service for 14 years. I got waaaaay back to the ole Airtouch Pager days lol.. I am not a gadget freak or a tech wizard. I have never owned a Treo or a Blackberry or an LG Envy; etc. But I have gone through alot of phones in the last 14 years. I have been known to buy phones regardless of whether I am eligible for any kind of upgrade; lol...

I love this phone. I think the name is kinda lame(personal opinion) but I have yet to open up the instruction book. And I have not had any trouble navigating around and doing anything I wanted to do that the phone seems capable of doing so far. Obviously; I will have to refer to the instructions sooner or later; but so far; just a very intuitave interface. Very well thought out layout. Great size. Great call quality. It feels just fine in my hand. Maybe down the line I will have a 'second impression' but as far as first impressions go; I have no reservations saying this is the best phone I have ever owned and a great pleasure to use.

And I agree with one of the other posters; that putting post assuming 'most people don't even own one' and then getting dumber by giving the phone a '1' rating; is simply retarded. Even the worst phones I have ever had; would most likely rate at better than a '1'.

Sorry my review is not very comprehensive; but everything I said I meant. And I seldom ever post any kind of review anywhere; but #35 inspired me simply because there has to be a balance in nature. And since he gave the phone a one; I will offset that by giving the phone a 9+. Like I said I no tech gear kinda guy; but I know what stuff is junk and the LG Dare......................... nothing junky about it. It is a Winner in my book.

I can't believe it's so cheap. Returned my glyde for it. 200$ is a steal, considering retail is 400$ from what I heard. Haven't played with the instinct yet but I don't even feel as if i need to after this phone. Could use more features such as being able to use this as a flashlight and individual text ringers. EVDO could be a bit faster but at least it's still faster than other 3G networks. Awesome phone!
