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.

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.

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.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
