63. LG Dare

Had the phone for a few months now. First and foremost, I would definitely purchase a case. I actually got both the invisible shield from ZAGG and a silicone case off Ebay. This is definitely a phone that you don't want to drop. The phone fits comfortably in your hand, and feels sturdy. You can't go wrong with LG phones. The touch screen is much better than the Venus and Voyager, and provides for confident texting and navigating. It has useful tools, and has custom options that can match your needs. The camera is terrific, and comes with fun and useful editing tools. Texting is easy on the device; I found it's easier to type using the "Word" option with one hand than using the qwerty keyboard, although it does come in handy for typing in websites and email addresses. Browser is alright, not too practical, but fun every once in a while. As for the clicking noise that some have experienced while placing calls---I haven't heard anything, and I've tried listening for it at every volume. Everyone says my voice sounds clear and crisp. The silver casing around the phone doesn't come off, at least not from being in my pocket, as did the Venus and Voyager.
Overall, the best touch-screen phone on the Verizon Wireless lineup. In my mind, better than the Blackberry Storm's 'click' style touch screen. If you want a comparison to iPhone, it's closer than any other device. But the iPhone is on a tier of its own. The folks at LG weren't trying to make an iPhone, or an iPhone "killer". They just attempted to make a high-quality touch screen phone with some very useful and fun features. Personally, I feel they succeeded.
- Sensitive touch screen
- Useful tools
- Powerful camera

65. No dare involved

Mywife talked me into the Dare. So, I bought my Dare two days ago. It is a good little phone. Reception is good and the Dare seems to be able to pick the signal up almost any where. I moved from a Motorola V9m to the Dare. I was really scared about changing to a LG phone. I am convinced.
Two things: 1. If you are used to a flip phone, this new technology is a little uncomfortable. But, after a few days, I am getting the hang of it. The virtual buttons just don't push. I did like that about the Storm. The virtual buttons 'push.' 2. I am used to a flip phone where you flip and talk. You can'd do that with touch screen phones. You have to push two buttons before you can answer. I may need to change something in the settings.
The Dare is a good phone so far. Like i said, no one has to dare you to try it.

66. best phone ever

this is the best phone i've ever owned. i read a lot of reviews before buying it and was worried about the txting aspect. BUT i must say, i havent had any problems with the txting at all. it's VERY easy to txt on. as for the people saying that its too hard to txt on...try calibrating your screen with a stylus or just use the stylus if you have bigger fingers. for me though, my fingers work just fine :). this is definitely worth the money and i can't wait until my carrying case comes! the ONLY thing that is a little annoying is that there's no place to put a stylus, but whatever i'll live.
-touch screen is awesome
-camera's amazing
-music player is great
-calendar, alarm clock, calculator, NAVIGATION, drawing pad, 3 different ways to txt.
-really nicely designed, very easy to use-doesn't come with a stylus, no place to put a stylus

This is just an outstanding phone!!! I have found it extremely easy to get used to. I love this phone so much. It's very customizable, the camera is better than I thought it would be, and texting is easier than people say. Overall, it's a very compact, sleek phone, with a ton of features. The layout is perfect, you can tell Verizon and LG put effort into it. Best phone choice I have ever made. You won't regret it, I swear. GREAT PHONE!

69. Dare is pretty good but watch out with text issues.

Well, I have had my Dare for 3 weeks and everything about has been good. The keyboard and scrolling does take some time to get use to. Also if you have nails I would use them. After playing with it for a day I got pretty use to it. Just know that when you use the option to text regular or with the keyboard. Just remember where the clear and the space buttons are. I also like that when you turn it and you get the full keyboard, you get more symbols. My other phone had nothing. Here you can do smiley faces, ( ), 's I mean it's really nice. The only thing you have to remember is to uppercase after a period. But I think that helps with writing skills anyway so it doesn't bother me. The only problem I am having right now is I charged it, then had to cut the charge short. And since then if I get a text it will sometimes have the notification above the unlock button so I can't get to it. I am going to go to verizon and figure out why this is happening. I would think that it would be pretty sad to have it freak out like that after that. I hope they can either fix it or give me a new one so I can just watch it. (and not remove from the charger) I paid good money for it, I don't want it F*ed up already.
But I say if you want a fun new phone, get it. Just remember to protect it and be gentle. It's not just a regular phone.
If anyone has any similar issues with texting let me know.
Its a very fun phone, hip, sleek, etc.Watch out, it needs to be babied

70. Great phone

I have had the phone for about two months now and it is the best phone I have had... of course the last new phone I had was 4 years ago and a motorola 815. This phone has lots of features that are pretty cool, some I am sure I will never use. the camera is very handy as I find myself looking for a camera at times and it is good that this 3.2MP camera is so accessable. the only feature I was frustrated with at first was the scrolling feature as it was selecting the item I touched rather than scrolling. My son discovered that if you leave you finger on it a little longer and then scroll it does not select the item. That discovery made a big difference. I would recommend this phone. it is pretty fun. I just wish all the ad ons from Verizon weren't so expensive $$.
Excellent phone, easy to usepricey add on services from Verizion, can add an MP3 that you already own as a ringtone. at least not that I have figured out.
