Incorrect, the wireless did not buy alltel the the business did, so It won't change much in size, plus it's still in major debt.

WRONG, Verizon Wireless baught ALLTEL and as a company with 80+++ billion dollars in revenue now imagine it in 1 year! VZW is now the largest cellular provider, bye bye AT&t!!!!

Well, it is about time bthey anounced when the phones will be released, but they need to release them sooner. Nobody wants to wait another 2 months to get one of these phones. They've ben planning them for a while now, and they need to make th release dates sooner.

Sooner?
Yes, it would be nice if they would be released sooner...but, knowing that they will be released on a "certain" date is better than not knowing if it will be July or January.

With the two year plan it will be $250 and if you buy it on-line then you can save $50 dollars. So it would only cost $200.

I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE PHONE!!! :)

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. :)

then maybe you should go back to USC and learn that it is lose customers and not loose customers.

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.
