I just picked up a LG Dare...great phone. I know the Blackberry Storm is coming out soon but I didn't feel like waiting.

The Dare is definitely a good substitute for the IPhone if you're not on AT&T's network.

[deadtrend1]

This Casio Gzone is the best i have ever had. I usually break my phone like 2-3 times a year and this one is still original.

[CivicEaterLT1]

i had my ****** Env then it broke now i have the chocolate 2 and it sucks even more haha. i want a blackberry

[Frosty]

The Storm is supposed to be really good but I had to switch this weekend or else I would've waited for it. Then again I wouldn't use half of the features, hell I won't even use half the features on the Dare...but it's still cool nonetheless.

[rscamaro73]

I have the BB curve....its ok....some other things I didn't like about the TMobile one was that it has no gps in it....which is what I really wanted. Figure for the price it should have it standard :evil:

Anyhows....its ok. Only bad thing is the coverage is slim to none (more like none) at my parents house in southern md......with all the people moving down there you'd think they'd try to put something on someone else's tower or something.

Anyhows.....yeah. Just my 2 cents.

I had the Choc 1 phone and that broke so many times they upgraded me to the Choc 2. That was alright. I upgraded to the EnV2. Good phone, no problems.
Have you had any software issues with the Dare? The girl at Verizon steared me away from that phone bc she said she has herd nothing put problems with the software.

[Frosty]

I've been using every option on the phone since I got it yesterday and haven't had a single issue...and that's running an older firmware version, I have to go to the Verizon store to update it.

No freezing, no glitches or anything so far.

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Well thats good! Hopefully Verizon got that issue taken care of then. Good luck with your new fone! :)

[qwikz28]

i have a blackberry pearl for verizon. awful phone, but i love the features. i'll be upgrading to the curve once it cheapens out

I still have mine. My contract is coming up soon, so I am going to get the new version with push to talk. Great phone.

No GPS? There's the default BB Maps program and then you can get Google Maps. They both have directions w/e (Google maps has a "my location" feature. but the phone may not follow you the entire time if that's what you're talking about)

[bubba428]

where did the "e" come into play????

[Frosty]

It's a typo.

[Knipps]

It's a typo.

something bubba wouldn't know anything about :lol:

[bubba428]

hense the lack of response duh.....

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

VGX 8350. Old school phone. Works fine. Had an 8300 but it went swimming in salt water and didn't like it.

[Frosty]

hense the lack of response duh.....

Where does the "s" come into play? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hence

[Blackbirdws6]

Posting from my Dare at the moment. Its a good phone but wish verizon was a little less obstrusive on its apps. such as VZ navigator. Features Vz has as an app means they block you from getting it free elsewhere.

[Knipps]

They're beginning to do the same thing with the iPhone

[sweetbmxrider]

i always break my phone so yesterday i got the "Boulder". it can take a beating and works under water for half an hour. also has push to talk. sweet phone!

[bubba428]

Hence

no firefox at work = me not checking spelling = ****ed up posts

[BigAls87Z28]

I like the Dare, no doubt. Its kinda small compared to the iPhone, doesnt have the same quality feel that the iPhone does either, two big things im not a fan of.
I get a new phone 12/31.

[NJ Torque]

I don't get an upgrade... I'm stuck with my lousy flip phone. and can't justify $300+ on a new one.

[Ian]

my friend has the dare and he seems to like it alot. I got to mess around with it for a few minutes the other day, I like it. I think JM has one too.

[FBODS4EVER]

i like the dare. being a vz technician, i get a phone for free. no choices. just given a phone. no plans to pay either so i cant complain. i got the one thats like the crazor cb300 or something like that. ive dropped it from many telephone poles. still works. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, so far everyone I know that has it likes it a lot. Guess I know what Im getting come the 31st.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

I picked up the palm centro the other day..first pda type phone, so far so good.

[Teds89IROC]

yeaaaaa ive had my dare since july no probs it kept me on the internets in hawaii =) i love it

[CamaroGirlie]

I started with cellular one (aka cingular, aka att) then went to sprint, then tmobile, then verizon. I kept verizon for 4 years and also picked up a sidekick through tmobile. Canceled the verizon in august, cuz they wanted me to pay $99.99 a month for internet, texting and minutes. With tmobile, I get unlimited texting, minutes, internet for $65.00. That's a no brainer right there....lol verizon wasn't bad and neither were their phones, just way too expensive for me

[GP99GT]

you people and your expensive phones

my free samsung gleam is badass...

[BigAls87Z28]

I was looking at the Storm today on verizon's site. Mmmmm, me likey.
But I have a feeling its gunna be 300 bucks, plus 150 a month for the contract.

Iphone is 199, Verizon would be foolish to price it above what it competes against.

[Knipps]

Yea, with a new/renew contract I can't see it being more than 200 if they want it to be a success

[BigAls87Z28]

The Dare was 200 when it came out, and its 2/3's an iPhone.
This is a Blackberry. Even Apple undercut itself with the 2nd gen iPhone.
It really wouldnt surprise me.

[sweetbmxrider]

get a boulder, and call people in the shower.

I wish my samsung alias had that...

[Knipps]

I would love to see that text gauge on my phone :lol:

[GP99GT]

it counts unread texts, not total

[Knipps]

lame.

[oh one ls1 SS]

i have a blackberry pearl for verizon. awful phone, but i love the features.

god!! i thought i was the only one..ive had my pearl since july and i have had nothing but problems with it! im on my 3rd one and im having the same exact problems with every single one i got. im fed up with it but havent had time to go back to get my 4th one yet. i had a LG before it and am kicking myself the a s s for getting rid of it because it was by far the best phone ive ever had. deff going back to LG next time

[qwikz28]

the problem with the phone is the low memory. take out the battery once daily and it will free up the memory and make it run right. trust me, i'm on my third as well and have done massive google searching to figure that out

[oh one ls1 SS]

took care of that problem and got a memory card.. my main problem is randomly when i get a call i answer it and the people can hear me saying hello but i cant hear anything. i need to do the whole pull the battery and reset the POS which is annoying. and my next problem is that i have my left side shortcut button set up to compose a text..sometimes it works but randomly it calls people. deff a software problem that i had on all 3 phones.

[firehawk1120]

i got the voyager but the battery life doesn't seem to last very long. I have a few more weeks to try it out and return it if I want. I've been considering going to the Dare. Any issues with the battery life and using the internet and lots of calls??

[Tru2Chevy]

My brother has a Dare and he only has to charge it every few days with a significant amount of texting and internet use. Not a lot of calls though.

- Justin

[Frosty]

The battery life has been pretty solid on my Dare so far.

[sweetbmxrider]

my boulder went 84 hours on its first full charge. with normal to moderate usage. YES!

how did you get the memory card to use as phone memory?
