51. important Internet applications does not work

10 Jan 2009 by alex2048

10%1out of 10

I return Dare becouse some important web applications do not work. It is critical bug. It is bad practice to issue gedanken device. Threrefore my rate is worst despite many advantages.





good design,
web applications:
qwerty keyboard is good rather then bad
youtube works good
some important google mobile aplications does not work, for example google maps.
browser does not support unicode, I cannot use e-mail because some correspondents use Russian and Japanese

53. I love the Dare. (:

I'm in love with the LG Dare! I got this phone as an early Christmas gift. This is a phone you MUST buy a case for! Get the screen protector, the case... go all out! This is a phone you have to baby. The music player is very good if I want to play my favorite songs with my friends. Texting is easy, with one exception. I had to calibrate it to make it actually recongize what you type. It sometimes is a pain in the butt to text, but that's just me. The 3.2 megapixel camera is AWESOME! It takes amazing pictures. I upgraded from an LG VX8300 (it's really old), so this is a huge improvement. One thing I'd like to complain about is the Mobile IM. I was so excited for it, knowing I'd have a full keyboard to IM all my friends. Sometimes while I was getting a lot of texts while I was on Mobile IM, my phone would completely freeze up. Like, nothing worked. I would either have to take the battery out, restart the phone, or wait it out. That's only happened twice though.


 


Besides all that, this phone is absolutely amazing! It was worth waiting for. (:

I have had this Phone for a little over a month now and it is the best one ive ever used. Texting is easy and the web browser is amazing. The phone is lightning fast. The Camera and Video Recorder are amazing. The best ive ever seen on a phone especially the 640/480 video quality. I recomend this phone for anybody. The only thing that i like better on another phone is the pinch zoom on the iphone. But the Volume toggle zooming method works just fine. The phones Full Html browser is lightning fast. I use it for mainly myspace and facebook and everything loads perfectly.





Design
Web Browser
Camera/Video Recorder- AMAZING!
Customization options
None so Far

57. i love it

90%9out of 10

this phone is prolly the best phone on the market for verizon wireless!


i love the drawing pad its very entertaining, you can set your drawings as your background or you can make a funny drawing or something and send it to your friend. one this i like is the camera also, its very clear. you can edit you photos, such as draw on it, crop it, rotate it zoom, ect... i wouldnt recomend using it as a digital camera for vaction photos because when it comes up on the computure it still kinda looks crappy. so keep you camera. on thing i use my phone for is my space pictures so its good enough for that deffinatly!!! and if you want to addit ti you dont have to uploaded it later and remember to eddit it too. just do it on the phone. coupe things i dont like are is that the touch screen smudges, no stylus, and you have to push a little harder than you think. i ended up using my old nintendo ds stylus for it. haha. and  the reason you have to push harder is because its pressure sensitive.... : / but its WAYYYYYYYYYY better than the glyde so im fine with it being pressure.


overall it sthe best phone ive ever had and i would recomend it for ANYONE


for old people its easy to use


young people its stylish and coool to show off


and buisness people usually have a smart phone and a regular phone so it doesnt matter.

easy to use

58. LG Dare

16 Dec 2008 by Brent

86.7%8.7out of 10

First let me say that this is one of the better camera phones out there. It takes incredible outdoor shots. INdoor shops in dark enviroments like a nightclub are not as good. I tend not to use the flash as much, because your a greater risk of over exposure, unless your in a really dark enviroment try not using the flash. One of the best features of the phone is the easy access and transfer to your PC. few Phones are as easily connected and able to transfer files back and forth. Originally there were very few applications for the Dare. But now as of this week have ESPN MVP available for the Dare, so they  are cranking up the applications. This is a fun enjoyable phone. It also has saved me some money overtime. I use the ez-tip calculator, when going to resturants.


The debate you have with this phone is whether to get the Dare or the latest  Voyager. Voyager has keypad which is sometimes helpful in navigation, and for text messaging pros. Voyager's new interphase is almost identical to the Dare's. The Dare's Camera is much better than the Voyager, and is smaller in size. Its screen is larger than the voyager.


Currently there are more applications for the Voyager than there are for the Dare. However as perviously mentioned this is finally being address particularly with the addition of ESPN MVP.


The next version of the Dare should of have mobile tv. My nephews love my dare and want to play with it all the time. If an 8 year old can use it thats says something right there.


 





Great camera phone with lots of features , easy transfer of pictures to the PC. Finally key applications are being added to this phone. Nice interface and design.
Slight problem with over exposure when using the flash, in very dark settings. Doesn't have mobile tv.

60. DARE to enjoy!

The key to the ease of this touchscreen is calibration!  The screen was easy to control at first use, but after calibration it became customized to my touch and even more fun to use.  I have NOT heard any clicking noises during or after phone connection, only comments on the great clarity!  If you have large fingers the keys may be harder for you to use, but other than that this phone is fun, smart, sexy and sleek. Texting is easy on either the full keyboard mode or word mode. The camera is excellent and there are more options in setting than you'll need to customize the phones appearance and set up for ease of use.  IF you use your phone for email a lot, that could be the biggest negative for you though.  As I don't use my cell for email I have no complaints and LOVE this phone! 





Clarity, touch ease, touch ease after calibration even better,camera, video, music, compatibility with your PC, options, style, text ease, comfort, design, performance, browser, it's fun to use and the best phone I've ever had.
Email. Not the easiest to use for email. If you don't use this function on your cell phone then the regular browser is fine.
