51. Love/Hate on a daily basis

I've had this phone for 3 months now. I absolutely loved it for the first 2 months. Now in the third month I've found the flaws. I think I was absolutely enamored with it. So I love how big the screen in and the camera is great. But 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. I would like to have a regular keypad just so I have the option of using it. The music player is wonderful, better than the chocolate (i've had all three). The internet was slower, and not all sites worked, even mobile ones. But for the most part the internet was extremely useful. I find it easier to use than the iphone, it's less complicated. It works on a nice platform, but I don't like how it turns itself off occasionally, looks like this might be something LG needs to work on, or verizon needs to change their software. I have had this problem with many LG phones. A problem with text messaging is on the qwerty pad it presses buttons you don't intend to be used and on t9 you have to look at it to make sure you got the word right. When 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. For me it's a love/hate relationship.

52. Amazing phone!(Stop comparing it to i-phone)

I personally could NOT be happier with my LG Dare. The touch screen is phenomenal and I love editing pictures! However, i really wish that the jerks out there would stop comparing this phone to the i-phone! This phone was not created to contend with the i-phone, if anything, this phones design and concept have been hijacked by the makers of the samsung eternity.But this phone itself is one of the best multimedia phones on the market! If your looking for a great phone experience thats actually nearly con-free then look no further!
Amazing touch screen
great,fun camera
sleek design, built for style and performanceabsolutely none

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 goodsome 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

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

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.
