LG Dare Review - Conclusion
ConclusionEditor Rating:   4.75 5 4  4 5 5 Hardcore texters may lament Dare’s lack of a physical keypad and relatively small onscreen QWERTY, while those looking for the optimal mobile Web experience could also do slightly better elsewhere. And Dare isn’t a true smartphone, so don’t expect support for your custom POP3 Email account or robust PC syncing. But Dare does have plenty of features to appeal to the masses, and a killer camera and great media player to boot. And if size matters to you, you may prefer Dare’s compact body to longer, larger options like Instinct and iPhone. I personally really love Dare’s size and shape, even if a larger screen would make Email and Web browsing a little easier. Will Dare lure AT&T customers away from iPhone and Sprint devotees from their Instincts? Probably not. But it certainly should help Verizon retain customers who’ve been yearning for an all-touch, media-friendly handset of their own. Verizon’s had a solid network for quite some time. Now they’re starting to fill their shelves with some eye-catching new handsets to take advantage of all that EV-DO goodness. Dare gives VZW their most direct iPhone competitor to date, and a great cameraphone to boot. But it also gives them something else: A handset that’s cool to look at and fun to use. In the fickle eyes of the consumer, sometimes cool and fun are worth more than all the features in the world.

I'm a drummer too. Rocker to a choirboy! Go figure. Anyway, I have the LG voyager and I thick I would prefer the Dare. They both share many of the same features but the voyager is realy a small TV! A cool one at that! The way it sits up with the antena out makes it's best use obvious! the other draw back to the Voyager is the soft bottons on the inside. You have to really stretch your thumbs to reach them. The one thing I'm particularly concerned about on the Dare is whether it can be acidently activated into calling or any other billable function. If so, how hard or easily. Stay in time with the drummer! Big ups! Tuesday, December 30, 2008The Lg dare is great except for the camera flash sucks and the handwritting is a little sensitive but other than that its so amazing. Tuesday, December 30, 2008My friend has the dare and it looks really cool. It can sometimes be hard to tap on, but after using it for a little you get used to it. If you are looking hand held touch screen Internet, and you are verizon just get the itouch. None of the phones are good at internet. Besides that, is a great phone. She seems to be happy with it.
Sunday, December 28, 2008I HATE the dare!!! I am returning it tomorrow after playing with it for a month. Touch screen is hard to use, fixing a mistake in a text is near impossible, and favorites won't dial 90% of the time. Also, if you like to play solitaire, forget it, not possible on the dare. Sunday, December 28, 2008I've recently heard that some phones have trackers in them. Does anyone know if the LG Dare has this feature? Saturday, December 27, 2008love the way it looks Thursday, December 25, 2008sorry but the above says f you don't need qwerty then this phone is great..
the phone has an on screen touch qwerty keyboard, which automatically comes up when you turn the phone sideways..
please fix this, as it can be very misleading to people Monday, December 08, 2008I can't wait to get a Dare exept my upgrade's in a year. :( oh well ill get it next christmas Monday, December 08, 2008Dude Noah your the coolest Monday, December 08, 2008My wife got her Dare last week based on Noah's review. Mine is coming today sometime. Haven't had much time to play with her phone, since she won't let it out of her sight. Only problem we both have is with scrolling on the touchscreen. Anybody have any advice on the best way? Camera's awesome, personlizing the screen is a plus. I'm switching from the enV2 to this for all of the good reasons that were stated in the review. Thursday, December 04, 2008DONT GET THE BLACK BERRY STORM am serous wait for it dont waste your chrismas. i have it i though it was teh coolest phone ever wrong. it very buggy. i want a touch phone thats fun like the iphone but on version wireless and better. well the storm is very clear but there no features. the storm is only for company work and only. if your a teen or adult that loves doing company work get it. if your a happy fun person that likes to do many stuff on it but not tv get the LG dare that the stuff right there. Thursday, December 04, 2008the dare is the best phone Wednesday, December 03, 2008Well, I just ordered the Dare. Should have by tomorrow, but I think I have gotten a great deal for a great phone. I was due for 100 discount back in July 2008 for an upgrade on a new phone and I have been debating on what to get since. I know the Blackberry Storm is out now but I've read alot of complaints about it. Plus, I would have to get a $30 data plan. I am getting this phone for 30 bucks after a 50.00 mail in rebate. I currently have the Razor which has never given me a problem and I will miss it but I hope the Dare will do it justice and be the same great phone, just now it will be a touch one. Monday, December 01, 2008which is better the dare or the blackberry storm??? Sunday, November 30, 2008Can the Dare use MP3s as ring tones? Tuesday, November 25, 2008we cant wait for dare to welcome here in asia, when its going to happen??? Sunday, November 23, 2008This phone is a decent phone. I much rather still have my ENVY 2 because of the texting. The keyboard is the biggest piece of garbage on the Dare. Wednesday, November 19, 2008i had the Dare for a few months now. it's okay but it randomly resets and freeze when checking email and vcast music. i love the unlimited music with rhapsody. Internet is okay and faster than my voyager. camera is really good but it drains my battery. i prefer the keyboard than T9. sucks that it doesn't have Vcast Mobile T.V. Sunday, November 02, 2008Hey chicken nuggets, my sister has this phone with that plan. It's an ok phone i tried texting on it, the t9 is really good, but the full keyboard is only OK. Web browser is OK and its cool u can customize the home screen. The camera is really good and clear. But you should wait for the Blackberry storm or maybe get the voyager. Search the blackberry storm, its pretty sick Sunday, November 02, 2008I just bought the lg dare and i absolutely love it. Its responsive and i can watch youtube without fail and with texting and the web you can turn your Dare veritcally or sideways and the screen will follow so you can view it. I turn it sideways becuz the screen looks bigger. The picture is great and the fps is not in now buggy or stuttering like its loading over and over. I recommend this phone to anyone who wants a touch with html web without having to pay out the earhole, peehole or A-hole. |
