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...

well i got the dare in sept. and now its april and overall i love it, def the best phone i've yet, i think lg and verizon did a good job coming up with this with all the verizon applications you can download, this phone never gets old and it has an "wow" effect on people when they first play with it,the touch screen is very responsive and gives good feed back. and the camera is amazing i love how you can crop and edit even draw on your photos, you can do so much effects to have different styles of pics,its very easy to get used to and to navigate yourself, textin is easy with T9 but the keyboard is a little dif to get used to the buttons could be bigger, but overall no problems, and the fact you can draw out your txts is cool not that you would use it but just neat, the battery last long but i had to replace mine but only bc i got it wet =[ but overall is a great phone , if anyone wants a great touch screen thats easy to navigate and with an amazing camera then the dare would be a great fit for you hope this review has helped you

32. Great Phone with a Great Carrier

Last month was my 2 year contract renewal with VZW and it also happened to be my 21st birthday so I asked for the Dare. It's definitely one of the best bday presents I've ever gotten and it just keeps giving. This phone has everything I need and more. I upgraded from a Samsung Alias so I was a little hesitant to go from a physical qwerty keyboard to a touchscreen, but the transition has been fine. I find the Dare's touchscreen very responsive even while texting in landscape. I love the versatility of the UI and all the customizable features. The camera works great and the pictures are pretty stellar for a camera phone. After finding out all the tips and trick browsing the internet is a breeze and I love having everything I need just a touch away. I pretty much love everything about this phone and an really impressed with LG's craftmanship. The only thing I have an issue with is the music player, but its a phone first so I can't really expect the functionality of an ipod with everything else this phone has going for it. I would definitely recommend it!

i've had the phone since august (its now april) and i love it. the camera is nice, its fast and sleek and it has all the features you can imagine. i do have to say that for me the virtual qwerty keyboard it garbage but the number pad keyboard it just as good or better than a phone with physical keys. and to all the people saying it turns on randomly.... did you ever stop to think that the phone just MIGHT be updating...? have you ever tried to update it and it wasnt already up to date? yes it gets annoying how the phone randomly turns off on occasion but its updating so dont worry about it. all in all if youre nervous about this phone dont be because you will get plenty bang for your buck. id give it a 9/10

34. Great phone

i have had this phone for six months now. it is a really great touch screen phone. people say the texting sucks but i guess i got lucky because i text faster then i did on a button, and im pretty fast if i say so myself. the keyboard isnt much to talk about, but t9 works like a charm. the camera is fantastic, it is 3.0 not to mention the flash it comes with. there are so many features i would say it outdoes all the others. if it had apps like apple it would burry the iphone into the ground. the calling is great, and the memory is amazing. the price without a contract is 490 but with it, it is like 290. expensive, but worth it. (i got mine because my dad works for the government so mine was like 120 xD. anyway, it is great and perfect for teens and adults. (o btw it has a drawing pad!!!!!!!) i use my nintendo ds stylis for it hehe.

some factory settings are stupid (but you can just change them to your specifications)

I have had this phone for about 5 or so months. I love it, it is really the only touch screen I would consider getting. (SERIOUSLY) People say the texting is bad but you just have to wait a while because now i can type as fast with T9 as I could with my old button phone. It has tons of memory, a great battery life, tons of features, (including a drawing pad !!!!!! (;) and a 3.0 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA. with flash. I mean people say this phone is crap but wtf it is awesome and it is pretty affordable. El;fkasdfk (:

i've never been into touch screen phones but when i tried out the dare, it was meant to be. i put an 8gig sd card and it can hold tons of mp3s and pics which is great, now i don't have to spend 400 for an itouch lol...the phone is very quick, and i love all the options you can do to change up the screen appearance to fit your personality. then there's my favorite feature where the screen on the phone will automatically turn off when you put the phone up to your ear during a call to prevent you from accidently pushing any buttons. the dare also just looks so attractive and so far, i have had no problems. the phone overall is very user-friendly.

I'm not sure what Verizon's love fest with LG is but it really needs to end. All the LG phones are terrible. I recived this phone as a gift from Verizon because my LG Voyager had kicked the bucket so many times, and this phone was worse! The onscrean keyboard function was terrible and even after calabrating it all different ways it still was no use. The speaker phone is completely useless when your in a car (In NY we have a hands free law), I really dislike headsets so I would use the speaker phone constantly and not be heard. My personal favorite was when typing using the numerical keyboard (IE: Normal Phone Style) it would randomly insert characters. I went out and spend the dough and got a Napoleon, best phone I've ever owned.
Touch screen was fun when it didn't mess up
Regular phone speaker worked fine
Easy to use interface
Nice design, better than carrying a brick aroundPoor texting
Poor calibration
Poor speakerphone quality
Poor overall layout of functions

When i first got the dare I could hardly text at all. After about a week or so I was back to normal texting at the same speed as i was with my env. This phone has an awesome camera and videocamera along with some stylish looks. If u need a cheap good phone I would deffinantly reccomend the dare.

the phone is easy to use but the touch screen will recalibrate often. the accelerometer will activate randomly while texting i would prefer having a real keyboard and the screen is too small to have a good keyboard. when ever i put a picture on the phone it slows it down to where i almost dont want to have pictures from my computer on there. once in a while it wont send a text message or you cant press the menu without getting an error message
