LG Dare

Anyone have one? Comments? I'm looking at getting one.

I don't have one, but i was actually reading about them yesterday and they are one of the best smart phones to get.

I bought one this weekend. I haven't had enough time to explore all of it's abilities, but the call clarity and the camera are both very good. The touch screen is good too - maybe just a half-step below an iphone. But it also cost half as much as an iphone and I don't have to deal with AT&T;, so 2 thumbs up there. So far, I'm really liking it.

Purchased one last Thursday. I love it. Already have the free software to make ringtones and transfer them to the phone. I've made about 8 ringtones so far.

Awesome phone.

[Snake]

Cool! Where do you download that software?

All the info you need can be found here. Software is called bitpim. I use Audacity to create the ringtones. Very easy to use. Then convert the wav files to mp3 with any free audio converter.

I'm looking at getting one. The question is, do I wait for my NE2 coming up in Feb and get my $100 off or do I just suck up and do the early upgrade for $149? Decisions decisions

that 80$ for minutes text and unlimited data combined?

[immts007]

that 80$ for minutes text and unlimited data combined?

Yeah. Actually I just checked, we pay $70.97 unless we go over our minutes - but it's tmobile and the coverage is horrible, at least in the PNW.

My Data plan is 30 bucks for unlimited data/internet but you also need a voice plan too. My plan is about 40 a month plus tax. ATT has way better service then verizon in my area and the iPhone is way better then the dare. Who is better then apple? LG? I doubt it. The only phone that will be better then the iPhone 3G is the next iPhone.

Apple makes one phone and that's it. It would be pretty easy for other companies to beat out Apple if they spent all their time developing one phone. Saying the iPhone is better than any other phone depends on what you use your phone for. How well does your iPhone's GPS navigation work? Oh that's right. You have to pay extra for that. You already have to pay an extra $30/month just for unlimited data/internet.

That's enough about the iPhone. Back to the LG Dare....

dont get one. the screen size is maybe 1/10 of an inch wider than the voyager and thats about it. Plus its really hard to type on the touch screen. The touch screens can be tempermental as well. I love my voyager. it has the touch screen front and flips open to have a whole other screen and keyboard. just my .2

The touch screen was a little tough at first, but I'm used to it now and it's really easy.

Yeah you are right. Don't buy an iPhone because you have to pay extra for GPS. How many people actually use their phone for the GPS feature anyway. Use google maps for directions. They are used for talking, texting, entertainment and organization. iPhone trumps any phone out there including blackberry (which my wife has) at all of those. Good luck with the LG. I'll stick with my iPhone.
