Dare: LG Touchscreen Phone for VZW Available for $199As expected, Verizon Wireless unleashed the LG Dare today. The handset is now available via Verizon's online store for $199 after a $50 rebate with activation on a two-year plan. Dare will also be available in retail outlets including VZW stores in Circuit City starting next Thursday, July 3. We've covered Dare quite a bit already in these pages so I won't go into too much more detail here, except to say that I wish they'd gone with a true Xenon flash instead of an LED flash on the camera. But hey, LED's better than nothing. I guess I can be bothered to cut and paste the full spec sheet from the press release, too. More just as soon as I get my paws on a review sample. From the Press Release: The LG Dare’s touch-screen offers the optimal HTML Web browsing experience and runs on the nation’s most reliable wireless network to ensure a smooth and easy navigation experience. The touch-screen also supports handwriting recognition and tactile feedback so that customers can more easily select their options on the phone. The phone’s camera has a Schneider-Kreuznach certified lens for outstanding image quality, and the camera offers advanced features, such as face detection and an LED flash so customers can take enhanced-quality photos from their mobile phones. Additionally, customers can use the photo editing tool to personalize their digital photos with features that include borders and landscapes, and they can draw on their pictures directly on the screen using their fingertips.
All about Our fancy algorithm says this stuff is related...Monday, June 30, 2008Is it thicker than the iphone? Monday, June 30, 2008I already ordered this phone but I would still like to see the unboxing. Sunday, June 29, 2008I ended up ordering this phone on Thurs and received it Friday the 27th. All features are awesome and the pictures turn out great! Very user friendly and I love the way I can customize it. Only thing that would make it better, not that its lacking in any area would be to have a stylus, just as a optional tool if you wanted to use it and better sound record quality on video (something similar to the recorder on Sony camera's). If they did that, it would be perfect!!! I love editing the pics on the phone and also getting pics from captured video. Try it out! This is the best cell phone on the market by far right now. Competitors have a lot to tend with, when it comes to this tech toy. Friday, June 27, 2008i need a video quick so i can kno if i should buy it cuz im getting my new phone next week so it would be great to kno the flaws and stuff of the Dare thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday, June 27, 2008Hey, when are you going to do an unboxing on this phone? Friday, June 27, 2008Will the dare have a different price in stores??? Is it available with just a one-year contract, and if so, what will be the price for that??? Friday, June 27, 2008when do we get a Dare unboxing??

Noah, I am a first time visitor to your sight, and I love it. I've been anxiously awaiting the launch of the new iPhone. I ended up ordering one from an AT&T store the weekend of the launch while also researching the LG Dare.

Good Times: Is the American Cell Phone Market Finally Maturing?Cell phone junkies - or anyone who's spent any time in Europe, Korea, or Japan - will tell you that the U.S. cell phone market lags almost hopelessly behind its global counterparts.

Considering your uses, i would go with the LG Voyager for its full QWERTY keyboard, or the LG Dare because of the virtual QWERTY keyboard, and the unique/cool features.hope this helps...DareFirst of all, STOP SAYING GET THE GLYDE! because the touch screen on that phone is so finiky and unresponsive! But i would get the Dare because it is on the amazing Verizon Network, and i like the all around look better than the Instinct. but then again it is a personal chioce. If you need a phone more for work (e-mail, calendar, etc.) then get the instinct, but if not, get the Dare.Hope this helps...LG Dare - custom web homepageWhomever is skilled in creating a custom web homepage for the LG Dare - please leave your feedback.
