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...

Good call quality, very responsive.
Excellent design, 3.5 headset jack!
No lag when listening to music off a 8gb memory card. It can also multitask.
Best phone I've owned from verizon.

243. LG Dare- Worth every penny!

The LG Dare has to be one of the nicest phones I have ever gotten the chance to use. It's features are excellent! However, the touch screen tends to lag behind. When scrolling fast through options on a application, the selection your finger was on selects it's self some times. This phone also does not feature WiFi like the iPhone, but does have a better signal through the standard Verizon Mobile Web. Comparing the Web Browser to the iPhone once more, the LG Dare has more features and better responce time. The sound quality on this handset is amazing! The built in bluetooth feature is well thought out! I walked through out my entire neighboor and the signial strength was perfect, it was perfect while on the go in my car, and perfect in a very rural area! The full on screen keyboard works very nice except it tends to skip letter when typing quickly. The Moblie TV is all I could ask for with amazing signal strength. THe camera is one of the nicest I have ever opperated. I could go on the LG Dare's amazing features! However I will end now on a good note by giving this phone a rating of a perfect 10/10 and reccomend this any one who wants a hi- tech, easy to use, amazing cell phone! I do not however reccomend this cell phone for cooperate use!

I upgraded from my verizon lg 6100 to the lg dare, ordered on verizons website with my $100 every two yr credit on Thursday 6/26 12:30pm and received it Fri 6/27 1:30pm via FedEx. Great reception, loud ear mic, great calling sound quality, touch screen very fast responsive. Still can be used on my $39.99 month plan 450 minutes. I ordered the Verzion Vpack for web surfing, video downloads and email $15.00 month first month free and if i dont like it can remove this $15.00 option. Still learning all this phone can do too many features. Oh, and it comes with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Thanks.

This phone is amazing. I got it overnight shipped and I can not put it down. The only problem so far is learning how to text and drive since there is no physical buttons! This phone will not disappoint. The camera is amazing, opposite of what a few have said earlier in the reviews. I highly recommend this phone.

246. Best Phone So Far!

Everyone's opinion always tends to say that the iPhone is the best phone ever made........ and then the Dare came along.....
This phone beats the CRAP out of the iPhone. Not only is the interface nice and fluid, and moves easily between screens, but the size of the phone is SO much more convenient! It's much shorter then the iPhone (but still just as thin).
The fact that Verizon is rolling out the Rhapsody music store and the ability to play UNPROTECTED music is AWESOME! (This may suck for people in the music business as I'm sure people will turn to illegal downloads once again, but being able to transfer music to your phone, or computer or a CD without being blocked because it's protected is AWESOME! Try doing that with iTunes music/downloads....)
Another nice feature is the fact that it has expandable memory. I can swap out the memory cards if I fill one up. I can also take out the DARN battery!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, I use to be an Apple Nerd, I still LOVE Apple computers and ipods.... but this phone takes the cake. The iPhone now has a true competitor.

247. iPhone Killer

98%9.8out of 10
Yes indeed, this phone is an iPhone killer. For those who are BIASED and are APPLE GEEKS, I TOO am an Apple geek, and I set my Apple bias ASIDE when I checked this phone out for the first time..... being that I LOVE apple, this phone rocked the SOCKS off the iPhone.
Pros:
- MUCH better camera then the iPhone (And pretty much ANY phone)
- Expandable memory up to 8GB (You can switch out memory cards if you fill one up)
- REMOVABLE battery!
- Works on Verizons Rev A network (granted the NEW iPhone will work on 3G)
- Rhapsody Music Player/Store.... which means NON-protected music!!!! unlike the iTunes store!
- MUCH smaller then the iPhone!
- Dedicated Send and End buttons!
- DON'T have to go through APPLE if you have any problems with phone! Can go directly thru Verizon
- Has handwriting recognition
-PRICE is much less then the iPhone!
Cons-
- Has handwriting recog. but no stylus, kind of a bummer, but it does read your handwriting if you use your finger
- I really can't think of any other cons at this point.... The ONLY thing I was bummed about was the no stylus part. Everything else FAR exceeds my expectations and BLOWS the iPhone out of the water.... and I'm not just talking about the OLD iPhone, I'm talking about the new one too!
Overall I was REALLY impressed by this phone. When I first saw pics of if I didn't think I was going to like it, nor did I think it would compete with the iPhone, but NOW my mind is made up. If I had a choice to get the NEW iPhone or the Dare I would DEFINITELY go with the Dare, not only because of the size, and the abilities and features, but because it's on Verizon which is FAR superior to AT&T. Go LG! They finally made a phone which beats the pants off the iPhone!

248. Awesome Phone

just received the phone via fed-ex delivery. i have been playing with this phone for about 4 hrs already, and i would have to say i love the phone. i never got in to the iphone like everybody else did, but i would have to say give the iphone a run in the wireless phone world. So far i have only found two things i find a little difficult with the phone, and they are talking with the speakerphone on. the microphone makes its difficult for the otherperson to hear you, but i dont know if it is the mic or just me i seem to always have difficulty with people hearing me while on speakerphone. the second thing i find to be somewhat difficult is the scrolling up and down the menus can be a little awkward unless you have a long nail i guess. My overall rating of this is phone is great. i would recommend this phone to everyone.

250. Love the Phone

Love this phone just retired my Env2 due to it's quirky glitches and bought this out of contract over the phone. I was a little afraid of the touch screen but FedEx delivered it yesterday morning and I found out it was easier to use than I imagined. The camera is awesome with it's crop, ability to write on the picture, and the lovely little flash so many phones have been missing lately. I love the draw pad it's quite amazing though my doodles are more like an etch a sketch. =) The favorites is a great idea.. almost like a my 5 from T-mobile minus the discounted calling but who needs that with the Nationwide premium anyway. As for the web browswer I love this one! Oh and need I add unlike my Env2 no glitches so far woohoo.... no dropped calls fading in our out of calls, my txts and pictures work, oh I'm in heaven! Just a note my friend does work for Verizon and they often can't have the new phones for a few months after customers get them. Demo yes own no. So all that bull that guy was feeding us is crap as I am an existing customer and as of 6/27/08 I had the LG Dare in my hand. Not so sure about the stores but I looked it up online and called my order in.
