So my biggest request was a significant upgrade in the camera. I had avoided touchscreens, having tried some at the mall and found them inaccurate. The Dare has a 3.2 mp camera and video function that turns out great photos. I'm not a big texter but I find that the Dares qwerty keyboard (virtual.. from Amazon.com I bought the LG Dare on Dec 20th 2008 and hate it. The screen lock doesnt stay locked. from Amazon.com I set out to upgrade an ordinary Nokia flip phone. Dare's QWERTY keyboard, MP3 player, picture viewer, calendar, and small size attracted me. A very pleasant surprise that has gotten scant mention in the reviews I've read is the "speaker-independent voice commands". from Amazon.com I have had my LG Dare for nearly a year now and I love it. I find the touch screen is easy to use and it has the features I value. from Amazon.com The LG Dare has a variety of great features, but it was clearly rushed into production. The presence of a ".com" key on the keyboard is a good idea, if only they used that same keyboard when you enter in an email address. from Amazon.com The LG Dare is a fantastic phone. I was very nervous about getting a touch screen, fearing it may damage easily. from Amazon.com I had an iPhone before this and I guess I am spoiled. The scrolling as mentioned is very difficult and getting your fingers to work on the contact list is near to impossible. I would say get the Envy2 instead if you want the dare features on a Verizon phone. from Amazon.com I researched many touch phones and found many too superfluous and not functional with what it could do (poor battery, poor touchscreen, etc.). So I went to the store and played with all of the phones. The Dare is the only one with a truly responsive and accurate touch screen; plus movement through all of the menus was the smoothest and most practical and user friendly. Overall it is a great phone with many features that you can use, the camera alone is amazing on this phone with high res pics and decent movies. from Amazon.com Like a lot of people, I have two cell phones - one for personal use, and one for work. I bought this last July when it was brand new for my personal phone, and will be getting the new Samsung this coming July for my work phone once that phone is due for an upgrade. from Amazon.com The Dare Phone is Ok, and i like it but the scrolling to find a number is very difficult even after using it for a couple of months now. The internet access is rather limited; entering usernames and passwords is a real trick. from Amazon.com
