81. MAJOR PROBLEMS
24 Oct 2008 by Anonymous
60%6out of 10
This phone is the worst! This phone sometimes receives phone calls, text messages, and/or voice messages and sometimes it doesn't. People can call me ten times and the phone will not receive the calls nor does it show that I had any missed calls. The messages I receive are delayed most of the time. It sucks! The phone overall is cool with all the neat features but it has problems that needs to be fixed. I also tried taking the phone back to get it fixed but no one there at the store can seem to find the problem with the phone. This is ridiculous paying all that money on the phone and it doesn't work properly.
Features are pretty cool.The problems need to be FIXED!!!!!!

I upgraded from the Blackberry Pearl to the LG Dare. While it is a cool phone with lots of great features, the touch screen just doesn't do it for me. I am a big texter and I find I am always hitting the wrong letter or the phone doesn't respond at all. Great phone, but not for me. I want my Blackberry back!
Camera, drawing pad, editing for pictures.Touch screen not very functional.

83. Problem

I had this phone about a week ago when I decided that it needed to go back to Verizon. It was a very well featured phone, with features such as editing your pictures on your phone, and re-arranging your Menu, but the draw-back for me was the touchscreen. After calabrating the screen countless and countless times it just wasn't responsive enough for me. I'm big on texting, about 10k a month, and this phone just didn't cut it, I would find myself getting the vibrate feedback from the phone but when I would look at the letter that I was typing it wasn't there. Also, the phone does get slower as you type faster on the keyboard, I mean it was a great phone, but the texting and the touch does suck majorly, I would have prefered to be a slide out physical QWERTY keyboard for this phone, reading other reviews on other sites, I can see that people have the same problem with this phone. Looks like LG and Verizon will need to make some work on the touch in order for the phone to sell-out all of it's customers, I'm glad to own my Voyager Titanium with a full QWERTY keyboard.

I had new cable internet service hooked up yesterday. While the techs were in my house they were asking me about my Dare. They were totally in love with it...and these guys were using Blackberrys to contact headquarters. One guy said he was definitey going to look into getting one for his personal phone.
I love mine the more I use it and figure out all of the things I can do with it.
Nice to have a phone that is gaining on the iPhone. Everyone that sees it asks about it and are impressed overall by the phone.
Great to have mobile websites available when I'm traveling.The touch screen is not quite as nimble as an iPhone/iTouch.
More usable apps could/should be available to users.

I upgraded to the LG enV2, but was having problems with the text messaging on the phone so i took it back. I narrowed my choices down to the blackberry pearl or the dare. I wasn't sure i would like texting on either - suretype on the pearl and no keypad on the dare. So, after an hour of going back and forth, I chose the Dare. I absolutely LOVE this phone! texting is soo easy! the speakerphone works good, and downloading and playing Vcast songs is quick & easy! the touchscreen is better than i thought it would be and i love getting online on this phone! i would definetly recommend this phone to anyone!
touchscreen, drawing pad feature, the whole phone!none at the moment

86. LG M#*!@$*%)# DARE!!!!!! THE NEW KING OF TOUCH PHONES

few months back i upgraded my verizon phone from the 1st generation LG chocolate (which still works perfect, other than worn out charging port) to the LG Voyager, which i had been drooling over since it was released. The very next day the Dare was released online a week later in store, even though i loved the voyager i didnt think twice about it and made good use of verizon's 30 day exchange policy and unlike other carriers like Sprint/Nextel which makes exchanges about as easy as doing your own dental work, i got to verizon store say "i want that one!" and they said "OK, here you go" no question, no additional fee or hidden fees, no 13 miles of red tape and your entire weekend, just "OK". now it did take them a 45 mins to program the phone, but what do you expect, they have had the phone for less than 12 hours and said mine was there first sale, and even made up for it by giving me a $100 8gb memory card for free for the inconvenience (i didnt even ask for it). but anyways this is how cool the Dare is. with a freeware video coverter program i put 2h 45m movie (actually 2 movies and a 1hr tv show) on the phone and watched the whole movie from start to end, without headphones, using the surprizing clear 1 speaker, and still had enuff juice to make a 30 min phone call afterwards, (infact while playing, it will pause for incoming calls, and when you hang up movie auto resumes) and this is with the standard battery. Lets see the iPhone do that. now i have had a bit of experience with touch phones, my Chocolate has the capasitive buttons but this is my first fully touch phone and i was suprised how quick i adapted to the change, this phone is the definition of "user friendly" to the point now that i get frustrated with friends phone that do nothing when i touch the screen, make you wonder how you went without before, in addition to cool features like sorting your texts by sender or even size, the phone even works well with my stubby, fat fingers,. also my sister got a really nice, really expensive digital camera for christmas, and while camping not only did my have service, but she was mad cause my 3.2 megapixel camera were taking better pics that her digital camera with twice the megapixels, my cousin has one, the phone is really cool and does have it quirks and advantages over the dare but also has one major downfall called AT&T. my cousin loves the phone but the while talking to him recently we were amazed that we were able to talk for 10 mins before his phone dropped the call. if at&t has more bars in more place apparently there phones havent got the update,
one other iPhone vs. Dare fact: the Dare's battery is removable!!!!!!! and you can get a extended battery for $50.

I must say that this is Verizons best phone yet. And the closest thing to the I Phone on the verizon network. Great features, design, loud ringer and great battery life. Best phone I've owned. Price was also good. No problems so far

My Little brother got the new enV2 and i was sorta mad until i got the dare which is a billion times better than any of the other phones I have had, used, or seen. It is the coolest most awesome phone. When i showed my friends all jaws dropped for it. With its amazing features and super awesome shape topped off with a touch screen and 3.2 megapixel camera it's probobly LGs best phone!
The Whole phone is great!I can't think of anything

I got this phone to replace my LG chocolate, and I absolutely love it! It has taken a couple of days to get used to it but once ya get the hang of it, its a sinch to work! The camera is incredible and the sound quality is amazing! Its light weight and thin, perfect for throwing in your purse or pocket and going! This phone is perfect for anyone that uses a PDA for scheduling, taking notes, etc... It has taken the place of both my phone and PDA

The screen gets dirty, so you have to make sure you have a screen protector.
