Ok so i am looking around for a new phone and wanted to know if anyone has the LG Dare and their opinions on it. It is one phone i am considering and seems like a reasonable comparison to the iphone without having to switch from verizon.

my buddy bought the lg dare when it first came out a few weeks ago and he still swears by it.
They give these phones the worst names...

I've never had problems with an LG phone, and Verizon is the best service so I'd stick with it

I'm trying to decide between a Dare and a Venus.

i'm using one to post now, i love the phone. My only complaint is links are a little hard to click. Touch texting has great response and calls are clear aswell

thanks man, good to see it is getting its use and mostly a positive response. texting is also a big thing for me, so hearing it is clear and smooth is huge

yeah, will do. also i will post a kinda review and daily kinda thoughts on it if you want to check back. i am interested to see how i will like it the first few days considering i have only really only had a flip phone and this is ten times different/better.

This (http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=429) is where I learned practically everything I know about the Dare.
I plan on purchasing this phone as soon as I'm up for a early upgrade. It seems as though the reviews for it have been fantastic. LG makes great products and everything I've heard about the Dare has been positive.s

what about scrolling with the touch screen.... do you accidentally click on things when you mean to scroll?

nah don't really have any problems w/ that at all, tho its sometimes tedious to continuously pull down the screen, there isn't a scroll feature that i've found

got the phone yesterday in the mail... it.... is... sick..... i cant stop playing with it and everything is really easy to figure out and use. The touch screen is great and really just takes a few minutes to adjust to.

does anyone get any games from verizon? Do you have to pay monthly or can you buy it just once? Do you use mins or have to pay while you play? Im new to verizon

verizon has much better service here than AT&T so i'd rather have a decent phone with great service than a great phone with shitty service.

I've had the Dare for 2 days now and I like it. How do I transfer music from my computer, and is it compatible with macs?

All I know is that commercial with the chick on the edge of skyscrapper is really annoying.
