LG Dare

User rating 4.5   Read reviews - Add review
The LG Dare is the latest touchscreen bar phone offered by Verizon. Key features include a full media player, HTML browser, Email support, stereo Bluetooth, expandable memory card slot, 3.2 megapixel camera, handwriting recognition, adjustable Text Size for menus, messaging, and dialing, and turn by turn GPS.
What’s Good: Attractive, highly customizable UI with home screen shortcuts; Compact design with high-res touchscreen; HTML Web browser and Email app with EV-DO Rev A support; VCAST Music and Video Support; Rhapsody streaming music support; 3.2 MP camera with flash and VGA video capture; 3.5mm headphone jack; Accelerometer and proximity sensor

What’s Not Good: “Full HTML” Web browser is mildly disappointing; Touchscreen can take a bit of getting used to; No VCAST TV support

Bottom Line: Dare is the best multimedia phone Verizon currently offers and the best cameraphone they’ve ever offered.  It may well be the best cameraphone available from any US carrier right now, as well.  Though the touchscreen is smaller than those of its competitors (iPhone, Instinct, and Vu come to mind), it’s bright, clear, and relatively responsive.  If you don’t need QWERTY or VCAST TV, Dare is the best feature phone on VZW, and arguably the best media-rich handset currently available on a US carrier.
