Verizon Wireless people
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.

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.

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.

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 
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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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