61. LG Dare

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.

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.

66. 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

68. 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.

69. 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!
