Yah 8lias, I agree with #53. Why don't you wait until the phone comes out before you start rating it.

I'm actually already using the successor to this phone, the Double Dog Dare. I'm communicating with aliens from outerspace....

there is a BIG difference for the UI. if the UI is like the iphone (glass) that would be awesome. but if its like the voyager (plastic) then that would just suck because its easier to wear out the screen. i have had a vayager and the touchscreen sucked. im sorry but it did. mine as well wait for the blackberry touchscreen because you know they wont use cheap material like LG

When does this thing actually come out and how much will it actually cost? I love the phone though!

Current speculation is early July (possibly July 4th) for around $300, but none of that has been confirmed yet.

Yay ... another device using a crap resistive screen that works better with a stylus, where they don't give you a stylus. What is that about? These things will NEVER rival iPhone or be as much fun to use if they don't make the touch screen as responsive and natural as what Apple gave us for iPhone. Single touch? Yesterday. Non accurate resistive screen? Give me a break. If you are going to create a resistive screen device, at least include a stylus. THAT, and every Verizon phone is the same. This thing will have the same layout at Voyager. All VZW phones are so cookie cutter its disgusting.

Well the thing with multitouch is that Apple has a patent on it so no one else can use it. And the Dare's screen is pressure sensitive, like you said, but it is supposedly much more responsive than the usual pressure sensitive screen.

#103...I'm not even close to an Apple fanboy...but where are you getting that the Dare has everything the iPhone does? For God's sake, you can install apps on the iPhone. It has a full OS as opposed to a basic UI. I have been reading about the Dare since it was first confirmed by the FCC in January, ...but has EVERYTHING the iPhone has...you ,missed the mark.

how big is the actually screen going to be ? not the resolution but the screen ? and the voyager and the sare are not compareable devices. the voyager is a messgaing phone while the dare will be a media phone.

Actually the Voyager was marketed as a media phone more so than a messaging phone.

I hope the Dare will have WiFi. But Verizon will probably cripple Bluetooth transfer, WiFi, and Custom Ringtones like always.
