actually i ran into a kid who had the Vu at aparty last night, a lot of people were pleased to see an Iphone competitor, and this girl got yelled at cause she works at Apple HAHAHA.....regardless i spoke to the owner of the phone and he said he has not used the Speech-Text feature but that it does have it.

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.

does anyone know the about asking price for the Dare? i heard two different ranges, 1st i heard that it would be in the $199-$249 range and then up above someone said it would be $299-$399. can anyone confirm?

$1-$10,000 I personally guarantee it falls into that price range. people need to quit making retarded speculations, it'll prolly be priced a little more than the vu but who knows wut incentives vzw will put with it

As I mentioned in my comment, I work with Verizon and the starting price of the LG Dare (VX9700) will be less than the starting price of the Voyager so it WILL be below $299.99 and we are not 100% sure of the exact price. Read my comment (#81)

online release on July 4, in-store release mid-July. Not sure how much money but like the guy above said, it will probably be priced a little more thand the Vu which is an AT&T phone. there is a virtual keyboard but other than that its a full touchscreen phone.

june 26th online* july 3rd in store. price (opinion)- 399-449.99 out of contract. 299 - 1 year / 249.99 2-year. it has a virtual keyboard where you can use t9 in standard mode, and it also has a landscape texting feature to display a touch qwerty keyboard.

im due for an upgrade also. Im thinking about getting the dare but only 1 thing holds me back is no WiFi. I cant affored the extra 15 a month to have internet so it would be great to have it free in hotspots. Although im not going to switch from VZW, so can some one just tell me right now that VZW WILL NOT put out a phone (unless its a smartphone/businessphone) that has WiFi for a LLOONNGG time so I will just use my upgrade on the Dare...

I think the real question is.... LG Dare...or LG Secret. They both look like awesome phones....but which looks better?
54. (unregistered) posted on 17 Jun 2008, 17:22 0 0
i believe that since they have the new iphone that is so cheap the other touch screen phones are going to be gone if verizon doesn't lower their prices! and also they the prices raised cuz itz a new phone and all new phones cost more DUHH! So maybe waiting a little longer for the phones are better and it sucks cuz they r all really awesome phones and for the people who only had their new phone for half a month (ME) it's sucks to wait but i will probley end up getting a new phone before my contract is up cuz every B-day i get a new phone in another six months and they give it to me 4 free as a B-day prez.! :)
