Hands-on Preview of the LG Versa

In order to attach the modular QWERTY keyboard, you have to remove the battery cover. Once connected, the buttons will light up, and the external blue OLED will activate. After typing a few text message, we found the size and layout of modular QWERTY keyboard to be easier to use than the on-screen virtual keyboard. The only thing we noticed is that the unit is top-heavy when the modular keyboard is attached, since the weight is not equally balanced with the bottom. After placing a call with the keyboard attached, you have to close the flip, and there is a small opening that you can hear through above the OLED display.

The Browser does display HTML sites in similar fashion to the Dare, but is easier to use, as well as zooming in and out on pages. It also has limited Flash support, which can play embedded YouTube videos in web pages, but some sites with complex Flash files will not load. The Camera is 2MP Autofocus with flash, instead of 3.2MP on the Dare. We will be comparing the two in our full review.

After using the Versa for a while, we're not sure if it would be considered an upgrade or downgrade from the Dare, but is more of a modular-Dare, since you can attach the keyboard, and there will also be a game control pad available soon. No word yet on the rumored stereo speakers or WiFi attachments.

I saw this and was extremely excited... because hopefully the Dare will come down in price now.

Take a look at menues for At&t and T-Mobile. Verizon is a heck of a lot nicer to look at and easier to use.

I can't understand why most of you are being so negative about this phone. It looks like a solid touch phone with a lot of new things.

Phone arena shows this phone also comes with an optional detachable gaming pad which looks similar to an old nintendo controller lol. But over all this is a great concept phone one of the few if not only phone with these type detachable accessories. ;)

To be honest a lot of people judge phones before they are out. My first glimpse/impression of this phone was wow... what a piece of crap. Then about a week ago, I was actually able to hold and play with one.... and yesterday I put in an order for it. I was really impressed. Hopefully I get it tomorrow, or wednesday at the latest.

So how about that full review? I keep checking my local verizon store to see for myself, but they're always out of stock. Looks like a great phone, and I plan on getting one on friday.
