71. Lovin' it

18 Nov 2008 by Frisco

96.7%9.7out of 10

What an incredible phone. I love the virtual keyboard, never want for a real one again. I can use this to manage calender appointments so easy, contacts, music, pictures, etc. It is an amazing device. The only drawback I've found is that there is virtually no information on where to find or how to download and use the Rhapsody media player. I had the same problem with my Creative Zen mp3 player. WTF? Do these people think we old guys are pre-programmed to know how to use these things? I spent an hour on the phone with a Verizon rep to figure it out, but at least they have people to help you, unlike so many companies, such as Creative. And Verizon has always had good customer service every time I've called. Nevertheless, I give the phone itself a 10, if not the LG people who can't understand why instructions are needed for some people.





Easy to figure out menus. Intuitive.
Scrolling is just a tad problematic as it keeps selecting items while I'm trying to scroll. It's not as smooth as the iphone. Also, no instructions for using Rhapsody media player.

Alright, I'm in need of a new phone: LG Glimmer, LG Dare, Prada phone, or other?


Anyways, I'm reallly liking this Dare, but soooo many different people are coming up with soooo many different problems. And I'm not the one for trouble-shooting? I lovee everythingg about it! But, it lacks a physical keyboard? (Not a "QWERTY" keyboard, just the letters on the numbers...!) And I think I'll have a hard time adapting to a touch-keyboard or whatever. IDKK?   





EVERYTHINGG! but...
no physical keyboard... :/

74. I LOVE My Dare

I love all the features this device has.  The virtual keyboard is fantastic and I'll never use a phone with a regular KB again. I've had absolutely NO trouble with it like others have reported.  The touch screen does need to be manhandled a little bit but all in all this is the best phone I have ever had.





Virtual keyboard, web access, sending pics to family, friends and the web. shortcut menu, star menu...everything.
Needs more apps

75. LG Dare one of the best verizon has to offer!

I have been using the LG Dare for about 3 months now. Hands down one of the best phones i have used. I am a fan of the interface and the responsivness of the touch screen. Most people who have issues with the touch screen should try recalibrating the phone with a stylis or something with a smaller point then jsut a finger tip. This will dramaticly help with response and accuracy. Overall the phone is very nice. The Dare has more then enough features for an every day user. Texting is easy, and the camera is great. I dont really have any complaints, but for those who do most likely think phones are some kind of miricle device. Dont forget phones with all these features are just like computers and every now and then you have to restart them. Instead of complaining about an issue its better to find a solution. Just like when the phone auto crashes when you click on the display setting option. simple solution that fixed mine. go to settings and tools and security and reset the defaults. hasnt happened since.





great design
size is perfect
just wish 3rd party apps were available but thats not too big of a deal

I had three LG Dares in three weeks!  The first keep resetting it self, the second had a clicking in the ear, and the third the screen would go black and not come back on.  


It was the most frustrating phone I owned.  I really wanted to love this phone.

77. this phone ROX!

96.7%9.7out of 10

This phone is a excellent rebuttle to the I-Phone, camera features, lots to explore, is the best in the U.S. market, like everything else you have explore it to realize its full potential. Qwerty keyboard takes a little practice, handwritting recognition is unique, but is iffy, voice alert, name & number, no Wi-Fi, and case accessories is lacking, I kept my screen protector on. web browsing is a bit expensive with the Verizon network $1.99 per MB! Smaller than I Phone and a bit flashier. Overall..If you have Verizon, and dont want to switch to ATT and love the I Phone, Definately get it!





Camera features picture editing, bright flash, face detection, smart pic, Icons can be dragged and dropped on screen, voice commands.
Handwritting recognition, Web browsing 2 much$

79. Great, Great, Great LG!!!

This phone is Great! It has every feature you could possibly ask for. The camera is Great, with all of the options my regular digital camera has plus some more it does not. The web is pretty good and is very fast. It has great responsivness for the screen and you can touch it with almost anything you have around you, unlike similar phones with a touch screen. The size of the phone is good, not too big and not to small to hold on to. So far the best phone LG has made (in my opinion) for a long time now. Can't wait to see what they come out with next!!!





Responsive Screen, Great Camera w/Flash, Great Battery, Nice & Loud, Very Good Signal Strength, Good Memory and Keyboard... Almost Everything!
Handwriting recognition could be a little better and adaptive

80. Great phone

24 Oct 2008 by Lito

The LG Dare is a great tool. It has nearly every feature you could possibly want in a phone. At first I was a bit frustrated with the touch screen not being responsive the way it should have been (fat fingering), but a nice guy from RadioShack brought to me a stylus pen and what a huge difference that made! Once you get used the the stylus, texting speed and menu selecting problems become a thing of the past. I have not had problems getting calls or receiving messages like I have have read about, although the signal reception is a bit weaker than I have been used to with Motorola phones. Overall I really like this phone, I would not go back to the old technology now that I am spoiled on this one.





Easy to use, the Navigator program rocks, V-cast is a blast too.
I like that Bluetooth stays on so it doesn't need to be activated every time you need your wireless head set.
Signal reception is a bit weak.
