First, I really do like the LG Dare. It has had some quirks as the software is upgraded, but getting the latest software from a Verizon store will fix a lot of those problems.  Until I just got my phone updated it was restarting randomly and did not always connect when on the internet.  Since the upgrade this has not been a problem.

Second, the camera on the LG Dare is really good.  It is not as good as having a digital camera with you, but it is a phone after all.  I actually went on vacation to Chicago last year and forgot my camera at home.  I thought I might as well use my phone to try and capture some of the time there.  When I got back I was really impressed with the picture quality!  Like I said, not like I had a stand-alone camera, but they were good pictures.

Third, I really do not like how there are not any free apps for this phone.  You pretty much have to pay Verizon for everything.  This really stinks, and I wish it was not this way.  I am forced to use the VZ Navigator, which pisses me off because there is a GPS on the phone.  I wish Google Maps, or something like that, would work with the built in GPS.

Fourth, the music player is actually pretty good.  You can use Windows Media Player to put the songs on your phone and it works great.  I use it in my truck if I forget my iPod.  It is a good back-up.  Unfortunately you cannot put any iTunes on there, but you can’t put them on any other mp3 player that I can think of either.  It is really easy to sync with WMP.

Fifth, the call quality is pretty good.  I can say that it is not the best in the world, but not the worst either.  I really do not get many dropped calls.  That being said, I am in the middle of a city, so I wouldn’t expect any phone to have a lot of dropped calls.

Sixth, the internet actually works pretty well.  It is decently fast.  I wish that it had a flash player so I could view normal YouTube, but I guess mobile is alright.  Maybe this will come in an update.  I can get to most pages that I want to view and they render pretty well.

Seventh, the touch screen is pretty responsive.  It does take a little getting used to.  It would be nice to be able to use more than one finger at once.  You really do need to calibrate it with a stylus to get it working well, but after that it is not bad.

Bottom Line:  I think the LG Dare is a good all around phone.  The camera is really nice and a good back-up. LG Dare is not a smart phone, so don’t expect it to sync with your home computer.  I think you can pay Verizon some more money a month if you want to do this, but I don’t.  It works pretty well to get emails with their mobile email service, but can be annoying when you get a message because it interrupts whatever else you were doing.  I am overall happy about this phone and plan to keep it.  For a basic multimedia phone I would recommend it.
