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 (:





good texting

32. absolutely love this phone

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. 





camera, display features, quickness

34. LG Don't

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 around
Poor 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.

Phone sometimes turns off by itself but only once every month pretty much.

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





light weight, camera, style
touch screen, virtual keyboard, sluggish at times, signal

38. Great Phone Overall Except for Texting

18 Feb 2009 by Alec C.

63.3%6.3out of 10

I recently purchased this phone about a week ago.  It is so easy to use the touch screen is a little bit laggy in some aspects but overall its is good.  I am 16 and a texting freak.  I find it easier to text then call.  I had the env 1 before this one and i was constantly texting.  I hadn't really tired out the touch screen qwerty on the dare and i wish i had.  I find it very difficult to text fast and to even try to text fast you need to be in a stable environment.  I find myself constanly typing the wrong letters and having to go back and actually type letters.  For me I have to press hard on the touch screen for it to register a letter.  Overall this phone is great the features are good for a touch screen phone however if you are a serious texter the dare is not recommended.

39. Definately a great phone

17 Feb 2009 by Deb

86.7%8.7out of 10

  AFter  returning a sumsung, and reading reviews for endless days, I was left deciding between the dare and the voyager . I went with the Dare and it's been  only a week but the phone is simple to use and understand, very stylish, and works great. The kids love the vc videos, I used the navigator with no problem, receive e-mails promptly, easy to store info  and make calls, and  texting no problem. Takes a little bit to get used to the touch screen but not long.


I highly recommend this phone. It's my 4th LG, first touch screen and is faster than my brothers  Storm.


 





Easy to use
Tons of features
Great screen
Everytime I try to use camera, I end up with video camera. ? Need to make the button easier to access

Charge port seems delicate and I'm afraid of breaking it

40. Lg Dare pro's and con's

I've had this phone for 3 months now. I absolutely loved it for the first month. Now in the third month I've found the flaws. I love how big the screen in and the camera is great, but I find myself having to really hold the phone still to get a clear shot. When I'm talking to people no one can hear me, no matter what my volume level is. I hate repeating myself and I'm doing it constantly on this phone. I'm not quite sure whether I like the touch screen. It's hard to get used to. Having the option of a regular key pad would be a nice addition to this phone. I previously owned the LGENV...great phone. If you're a big texter, I could text with the ENV being able to not look at the phone while feeling the keys to type a message. Frustrating with the Dare, that you have to use both hands to text b'cuz of the touchscreen and minus the addtion of a physical key pad. A problem with text messaging is on the qwerty pad it presses buttons you don't intend to be used. The music player is wonderful, but I don't like how it turns itself off occasionally.  With scrolling up and down you have to be easy and trying to get through your contacts can be annoying.  I like the themes this phone uses. The screen scratches easily and fingerprints constantly. Overall the phone is nice, but there are cons to it as well. maybe I just have to get used to an all touch screen phone, but If I could have designed this phone, I'd put a key pad addition to the phone and think it would really make a difference!





good speaker for playing music
pix come out aight
screen dimensions are good
batt life...likeable
shuts off by self
cant update (roaming) over air
verizon charges and arm and a leg and my first born child to use all of the features...
