LG’s Dare is now the king of Verizon’s VCAST multimedia phones. While the LG Voyager and Samsung Glyde offer full QWERTY keypads to supplement their touchscreens, neither offers the responsiveness, ease of use, or customization options of Dare. Dare also boasts an impressive camera (for a phone), and music player with standard 3.5mm headphone jack that also supports Verizon’s new VCAST with Rhapsody streaming music subscription plan.

Put it all together and you get a compact but full-featured media phone that just about does it all. Without getting into comparisons, Dare itself might not be enough to pull customers over from other networks (unless they really want a great cameraphone), but combine the phone with Verizon’s wide-ranging network coverage and EV-DO Rev. A high speed data and you’ve got a compelling package.
Dare’s got its flaws, and we’ll get to those in a moment. But taken on the whole this is an excellent handset for the multimedia enthusiast who wants his camera, music, and Web/Email along with his phone. I was excited for Dare before its release and certainly wasn’t disappointed when I got one to test out for myself.
I loved this phone when i got it. But three days later, a whole line of pixels on the screen went out. Verizon gave me another new dare.
I had that phone for five months when the speaker stopped working. Verizon overnighted me another new Dare.
I have had the one i have for a week now and am very fustrated. The new software installed on the new device has glitches in the text messaging interface. I took the phone back down to verizon and they told me i had to wait for a software update. Now how is this fare? I have had to deal with this phone constantly and now i have a device that has defective software and i have to deal with it until a new version comes out. How fair is that?
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
its always nice to have a phone that fits into your hand and is not a little bit bigger its perfect size
