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.

Actually I was wanting to buy a GPS unit for my car anyhow, so this saves me $300+. I don't need a full internet browser on my phone. I have a laptop for that. That's what laptops are used for.

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

I picked up my dare last night and it took about 15 minutes to get the hang of the touch screen typing. Now I am working on the scrolling but it seems to be getting easier. The one thing that I am disappointed in are the ugly animations that you can insert when texting. I moved from Motorola phones and their animations were a lot nicer.

Overall, so far, I love the dare.
question to the people with the dare, how much a month is youre plan/data? and if someon reads this with an I phone how much are your plans/data?

I pay 59.99 for 900 minutes w/18% discount on plan. $15 for the unlimited data/vcast.

I haven't had any problems typing on my Dare either. The touch screen can be a little flakey at times doing other things (navigating a menu or especially scrolling), but typing has been a breeze. The thing I'm most disappointed with is the mp3 player. No album art, songs played in alphabetical order . . . lame. I realize it's primarily a phone, but if LG is going to also make it an mp3 player, then do it right not half-assed.

I have album art on mine and you can list the songs by playlist, artist, genre, or album. It's not half-assed at all. 8 gb memory card in it. Seems like a great combo of phone and mp3 player to me even though I have a Zen Vision.

Not mine. It will do playlist, artist, genre, or album, but it plays albums in alphabetical order, not numerical order. And no album art at all. Did you transfer songs on your hard drive to the phone using Rhapsody? Or did you download songs?

I transferred mp3s from my computer to my memory card in the phone. When you rip your mp3s, you have to have your program set to place the track number before the title if you want it to display the songs in track number order.

I'm assuming it's set that way because my Toshiba Gigabeat mp3 player plays songs in the right order. And when I transfer songs to flash drive for my car stereo, they play in the right order. They even display in Rhapsody in the right order, but not on the Dare.

I bought one of THESE . I like it. The rubber coating isn't as thick as I expected, but it looks nice and provides good protection. I had a screen protector on it too but it got kind of hazy so I took it off.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      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.
