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.

YES! 1 in 4 people in the US have Verizon..... Do you really think they care about 1 person complaining about their phone

16. (unregistered) posted on 30 Apr 2008, 17:25

yupp i think they do uh drrr

Uh yea they care dum dum. It's called word of mouth if 1 in 4 have verizon and say a whole family switches your little ratio falls. You call yourself a business guy. WOW! Graduate from an online school probably. NO BUSINESS wants to loose customers!!! Go back to school and learn business. USC graduate

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. :)

66. (unregistered) posted on 23 Jun 2008, 10:09

correction: NO BUSINESS wants to LOSE customers. :) Use correct grammar if u want to rant about who graduated from a business school or not.

92. (unregistered) posted on 28 Jun 2008, 15:56

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

99. (unregistered) posted on 01 Jul 2008, 20:08

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)

104. dperk01 (unregistered) posted on 03 Oct 2008, 12:33

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... RIT '08 Yes, you were corrected by an engineer... congratulations...

any one else if you are smart you'll wait for the DARE

58. (unregistered) posted on 19 Jun 2008, 16:40
