"Like a lot of people, I have two cell phones - one for personal use, and one for work. I bought this last July when it was brand new for my personal phone, and will be getting the new Samsung this coming July for my work phone once that phone is due for an upgrade.
My biggest disappointment with this phone is that it's not a smart phone - no, it's not marketed as one, but there are some things that are confusing, I think. It says in all the marketing material that the phone has a to-do list. But after hours of searching, I finally stumbled upon lg-dare.com and realized that they mean that the notepad is the to-do list. But that's not a to-do list. The one thing I really use on my phone is the to-do list, so I was all kinds of disappointed when I realized that they were referring to the notepad as a to-do list. I finally solved the problem by getting a subscription to jott.com which lets you access all your lists from anywhere.
I'm also bummed that there aren't many applications for this phone yet. I hope in future versions the code will be made available to developers so that those of us who don't have an iphone can also get applications.
The quality of calls has always been good for me. And I really enjoy vCast videos. Just today I happily passed an hour watching popup videos while waiting for new tires to be put on my car at Costco. Even after that hour, only one bar of the battery was used, so that was pretty impressive.
I have pretty big fingers and I don't have any problems with the touch screen. The one thing I will say, though, is that typing in any boxes online is tough - think of the google box, or username/pw boxes. It's just really a fun finger dance that you have to have patience for.
It seems to have a fair amount of memory - right now I have about 170 pictures and a few videos stored, and it's not running low. Also, it's so easy to set up mobile internet, flickr, etc., so you can literally take a picture and upload it to your blog in a minute. That's very cool.
I'm looking forward to trying the new Samsung for my work phone this summer, but for now I'm still quite happy with the Dare for personal use."
