I had new cable internet service hooked up yesterday. While the techs were in my house they were asking me about my Dare. They were totally in love with it...and these guys were using Blackberrys to contact headquarters. One guy said he was definitey going to look into getting one for his personal phone.

I love mine the more I use it and figure out all of the things I can do with it.

Pros

Nice to have a phone that is gaining on the iPhone. Everyone that sees it asks about it and are impressed overall by the phone.

Great to have mobile websites available when I'm traveling.

Cons

The touch screen is not quite as nimble as an iPhone/iTouch.

More usable apps could/should be available to users.

loving my LG dare!

I upgraded to the LG enV2, but was having problems with the text messaging on the phone so i took it back. I narrowed my choices down to the blackberry pearl or the dare. I wasn't sure i would like texting on either - suretype on the pearl and no keypad on the dare. So, after an hour of going back and forth, I chose the Dare. I absolutely LOVE this phone! texting is soo easy! the speakerphone works good, and downloading and playing Vcast songs is quick & easy! the touchscreen is better than i thought it would be and i love getting online on this phone! i would definetly recommend this phone to anyone!

Pros

touchscreen, drawing pad feature, the whole phone!

Cons

none at the moment
