LG Dare sure to be some competition for the iphone... it will be available on a way better network
for sure. I would like to see more photos of the device though.

The LG 9700 you need to realize isnt the iphone and the iphone isnt the 9700, apples and oranges/
make a list of what you actually do with a phone (like make calls) or want a sleek phone to
showoff, or both and will to substitute a fashion statement (iphone) ... think about it..

The Dare is a decent shot at an iPhone look-a-like, but not great. I hate AT&T, and if Verizon carried the iPhone, I would have had it by now. I bought a Dare in July and love it. The 3.2MP camera w/flash is good, the delay makes it hard to take awesome pics, but it's not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the browser, and I do think that it lacks the responsiveness and the 2 finger drag/zoom that the iPhone has. One big drawback for the touchscreen - nearly impossible to text w/out looking since there are no buttons to feel to figure out where your thumb is - expecially annoying when I'm driving 3 hours home for a weekend and people are texting me to see what I'm doing that night. Still the best Verizon phone that I've owned (v120e back in the day, v265 which sucked, and the KRZR that I loved until I lost 2 of them within a week and a half and couldn't wait for insurance papers to be processed). If the iPhone does ever come over from the dark side, I'll be all over it, until then I just hope that LG keeps trying.

Oh, and I had the Voyager for a couple weeks... before I exchanged it for the Dare. The only reason I got it was because I wanted buttons instead of a touchscreen, then I found myself only using the outside touch screen to text, etc. Voyager = worthless (who needs and/or wants to pay for Mobile TV?).

Release dates are so ficticious. Does any phone company reach a release date ever. Im going to make
my decision to switch to AT&T Ill be happy with the VU since the Dare could take forever to be
released.

Verizon is so obsessed with holidays and launching just before a holiday it will shoot itself in
the foot. Verizon should know that people are getting there stimulus check before then and should
release sooner. Gee nothing for Father's day.
Either its going to be the Glyde or the VU it seems. I won't wait 50 months for a decent phone. Is
Verizon trying to loose me as a customer.

i think you're right. all the phones are very cool though! i wish you didn't have to wait until your contract was up to get a new phone and you could get it at a sale price, i think if you didn't they would make more money. because more people would upgrade, more. i really want the samsung glyde. i have the chocolate right now, but it will cost over $400 to get it because i can't get it at the sale price! it's just craaaazyyy.

there's no point in waiting 2 yrs. silly. New every 2 is great for a free phone. Sadly, only the primary line is eligible for the hundred dollars towards a new phone. the rest receive intro prices.

Anyway, every line has a contract. Renew the contract and you should be able to get intro prices whenever you want.

dial *611 and talk to costumer service

lol actually.. they don't care. to think that they do is insane, of course they want more people to join, but if they loose one customer out of a million. i don't think they'll care when 50 more are joining everyday.

Why is it that everytime i look at the message board for a video or pictures people aren't talking about the specific video/pictures? Instead they are shouting at people for making a few mistakes or criticizing them for what they're worth. Stop hating, please. I like the Dare. :)

do NOT get the samsung Glyde i have it. and it is the worst phone i have ever owned. you have to push the button like 800 times before it goes, (its on the lowest sensitivity setting)

Hey, make sure to send that to your professors at USC. I'm sure that they'll be proud that you know the difference between lose and loose... Your poor grammar hardly puts your point across.

By the way...

Yes, you were corrected by an engineer... congratulations...

I LOVE VZW, BUT THEY KEEP RELEASING THE SAME EXACT PHONES THAT JUST HAVE THE SLIGHTEST DIFFERENCE
IN FEATURES AND LOOK AND FEEL. THEY NEED TO HIRE SOME MORE INNOVATIVE MINDS THAT CAN CREATE SOME
PHONES THAT ACTUALLY STAND OUT.

VZW doesnt make these phones but they do make the nations best network so switching carriers for a
good looking phone is stupid. And by the way the iphone sucks.

Verizon is about to buy Alltel making it the nations largest, and best quality network. Also, I had Cingular before Verizon and the reliability was horrible!

No. AT&T boasts that they have the nation's largest network... NOT the best.

Have you ever had an LG phone? or are you basing you're opinion on the pure observation and not utilization?

At&t probably has the worst network out of any of them...let's be honest with each other here.

um no, at&t isn't the nations best network, maybe you should start Googling what is. get some information before you argue.

no at&t has the worst network. it just sucks. I know people that have at&t and are extremely dissatisfied with it. Verizon is much better than at&t.

I have done my research but the VU feels like its cheap. It is not supposed to be exactly like the Prada either. The LG Dare is a CDMA version of the Prada GSM (this is per LG and they have said nothing about the VU being JUST LIKE the Prada). I don't like the VU at all. It's just not a sturdy phone at all.

Hey does anybody know what the Dare touchscreen will be like? cuz i have the voyager and i hate the touch screen cuz its not heat sensor like the iphone. if the dare has the same touch technology as the voyager it'll be really stupid.

well they both are lg phones. i'm sure it won't be heat sensitive, but we won't know until it comes out.

lg does use heat sensor. all the chocolates and the voyager use heat sensor. You can't use a stylus with any of them.
