in my book a Touchscreen Camera

27 Jan 2010 Anonymous

7 out of 10

I would give this phone a 100 out of 10 if LG had made the Dare's keyboard a little bit better. It lags and when i try to type quickly it takes a second for it to type in the letters. I backspace consistently every text message. Ive switched to T9 but thats not why i got the phone. The camera is AMAZING and i give it a 20 out of 10. There are so many cool options. The different ways to customize are great. Its laggy between menus and the tinyest little thing will dent/ scratch your screen. Turns on and off all of the time. Its a sleek phone and i would get it if your the type who likes to take tons of pictures and send it to your social networking site. I cant tell the difference between which i took with a camera and which with my Dare. The touch screen is great if you calibrate it right.

Pros

CAMERA!
touch screen (at times)
battery life
call quality
features

Cons

keyboard
delicateness
anything to do with texting

This phone is the older version of the LG Chocolate Touch (VX-8575), and my mom has this phone. This phone doesn't perform as well as it, though. The virtual QWERTY keyboard is easy to type on, however, this phone unlocks itself frequently, causing frequent accidental calls. It has excellent voice quality, though. Also, the touch screen locks up frequently, mostly while you're texting, and this is a big problem to my mom, since she likes phones that "work". I wouldn't recommend this phone, but if a firmware update ever becomes available, maybe I will. This phone is recommended to people who really don't care about their phone locking up, which is pretty much nobody. I don't like this phone as much as I do my LG Chocolate Touch (VX-8575).

Pros

-Good Virtual QWERTY Keyboard

Cons

-Locks Up
-Accidental Calls A Problem
