- LG's Dare for Verizon might well be the best camera phone currently available through a US carrier. And oh yeah, it's got a full touchscreen and 3.5mm headphone jack. Dare is hot. Visit www.phonedog.co... for more info!

watching this in 2017. this was my first phone lol
mine still works lol.
Currently watching this on my Iphone 6 Plus. I used to have a Dare and it was awesome!
Watching this in 2014...Fucking hilarious comparing this to the phones nowadays 😂
Ten years on, and LG isn’t even in the smartphone business anymore.
I remember getting this phone on its release date. Felt pretty special/important haha. It is crazy to look back and see how far cellphones have come in such a short period of time.
This was my first “smartphone”. And loved it. iPhone wasn’t on Verizon yet.
This phone was my dream phone as a 8 year old kid. I never got it cause I was broke but I always loked how easy to use it was but at the same time it didn't feel too basic. Only problem I had with it was the touchscreen. It was kinda odd. My friend had it and I got to test it
Hi Tom,
I wanted to thank you for letting me do the review for your youtube channel. I had a lot of fun making it & I look forward to working with you in the future.
You gave an awesome review. I've made up my mind on get the dare. thanks!
Don't worry, "if the shoe was on the other foot" I would have freaked too.
Watching one of Noah's phonedog videos convinced me to buy a Dare in the 1st place :)
im finally getting my own dare this week
so excited
How was it?
As an LG Dare owner for almost 6 months now I still love it. I was going to get the Voyager because I text 24/7 but I found out the space bar is misplaced.
I had updated the Dare's software from V03 to V06 today at VZW and the QWERTY virtual keypad is almost flawless now. It feels better than texting on thick buttons. If you're used to touch screen, you can text faster on the virtual keypad than you can on the enV2, Glyde, or Voyager.
This is the best texting phone on the market, go buy it!
i had this phone for two years before i got my blackberry bold. i miss this phone so much.
The Pix messages come just like an email, the picture is right in the message. Its really nice that way. With 3G it also sends pics in seconds.
I had one of these
I'm finally upgrading my crappy three year old phone this Saturday and I'm definitely getting a Dare. Can't wait!
on the camera you can also edit pictures. you just click on the button on the right of the erase button. there is a little menu that comes up and you just touch edit
Man watching this on an IPhone 12 in 2021 is surreal.
This phone is extra extra study. I've dropped it onto concrete from about 6 feet high several times and it still works perfectly.
This was my first touch screen phone in 2008
i've had this phone for about 7 months and i have no problems with it. the zoom doesn't work when you take pictures at full res. and it's touch so you have to press down on the screen (unlike the iPhone which senses the electric current in your skin instead of actual "touch")
its a really good phone especially because you can play mp4 videos on it.
watching this on my iPhone 6 in 2015. I miss this phone though!
Hans Solo bro i phone 6 is wack now in 2018. its about that iphone x
The Lg Dare was my first cell, and I must admit I was impress.
i have a screen cover- but the amount of fingerprints whether you use a cover or not is amazing. boatloads of them. and if you reaaaallly like texting... not a good idea. the virtual keyboard is not full- you must switch between screens to access punctuation etc. and it's easy to mistype if you go too quickly. photo options are cool.
yes.. u can.. jsut go to touch setting or the sound setting..
when you get the phone if you get it new you can callibrate it with the size of your thumb to avoid issues when you are texting.
Iv had this since the summer of 2008 and i STILL LOVE it. I have not experienced any lag, and I love the touch screen. The only reason I am leaving it is because i need a smartphone and this just doesnt have what it takes to be a SMARTphone. But seriously ppl, whats up with all the problems ppl are having? Am i the only one that got a good one? Mine has a case, screen protector, and edamame keychain hanging on it. I seriously LOVE this phone.
My first touch screen phone that I got around senior year of high school.
I think this phone is great. I have had mine for 5 months now and no problems at all. Still very accurate touch screen
Here I am in 2020 watching a review of a phone I had 10 years ago. Ahhhh memories
Ahh, the LG Dare. It was my first touch-screen phone. Crazy that I just bought myself a Note 5. I remember when the Dare was a state-of-the-art phone. My phone tree went like this: An unknown silver flip phone that lacked a camera from Verizon, a Motorola Razr (silver), a Motorola Krzr (red), LG Dare x2, Motorola Droid, LG G2x, Droid Razr Maxx, Samsung Note II X3 (I loved this phone and insurance swapped it three times to keep it new), and now the Note 5 (Black 64 GB). All Verizon.
as I understand it, it all has to do with your plan, the unlimited data plan comes standard with iphone (so it's bundled in-not technically free) if you want unlimited internet you'll have to talk to verizon wireless about upgrading your plan.
No. But verizon stopped making it last month, so they no longer sell it. However, you can definitely find one online.
that was the best review ive seen yet!
good work!
Aw, tehe. "You can just touch them and connect."
Great video that shows it's features that people use regularly.
this is for jwat, I had the voyager and I just oot the dare 3 days ago and its awesome..the voyager is great for texting on the keyboard but you can do more things with the dare in my opinion and the dare has a better battery life from what i have noticed..the voyager gave me about a day or so depending how much txts and calls i made but the dare lasted me 2 almost 3 days, so i would say if u like all touch, go with the dare but if not go with the voyager, but i like the dare better
I remember I had this phone. My mom got this for me for my birthday back in I think 2006-ish?
This was my first Verizon phone (had sprint prior). Still have the same number and Verizon since then now too! 10 years!
You still have a contract ?!
@@adammuzzy2578 Not on this phone. I have the Verizon device payments plan for phone (iPhone Xs Max).
@@wickedninja8599 Oh ok. I still think its crazy that people still do the two year contract thing.
Hook the usb charger to your phone and computer. Go to the My Music & click sync. Whatever music program you have should recognize the device. Then, you drag and drop or send to the phone. The music will load and ta da. :) You can also copy and paste music to the memory card (when inserted in SD adapter into an SD card reader) in the my_music folder
I remember when I got this phone back in 2008! It was the best of it's kind! I now have the Note 2 and of course it doesn't compare at all but still, for the time it was GREAT and easy and fun and top notch!
Miss my Lg Dare....pretty good lil phone.
i have this phone its really nice plus the touch screen works well once you get use to it
i got this today for my birthday and it is like the best phone i've ever had
nice quick review. i just ordered mine today and can't wait for it to come in the mail!
I remember the video had a super high frame rate allowing super slowmo videos!!
Had this phone then the DROID incredible 2 which I like but now I have the Samsung galaxy s4 and I am in love
I've not charged my Dare in three days and I have been using, or playing with it, it a lot. I mean a lot. I have two bars. It has great battery life.
Holy shit have we ever came a long way in a decade
I just order a LG Dare last night after watching your review, can't wait for it to arrive. I think your review is the best, you showed alot of the features and menus on the phone which is really convienent when someone is trying to decide if they want to get the phone, Thank You! Second, where did you get your skin? It has a really cool look and would like to see if I could find one that would fit my desired look.
Is a good phone?
i love my dare. it uses 3g rev-A which is the fastest 3g speed out. such a badass phone!
I had the Dare when it first came out but I sent it back because I didn't like the all touch screen so I got the voyager. I really like the voyager in the titanium color. I do want to get the Dare again though because I like the fact that it had the 3.5mm headset jack while the voyager has the 2.5mm headset jack. I think if you want to be in the here and now times you should get the Dare. Keep in mind there is a mini dare coming out soon with Verizon.
I have been with VW since before they were named VW (1994) and overall I have been happy with them. The service is every bit as reliable as they say it is...I get service in tunnels up and down the east coast, in the Washington, DC subway tunnels, and in remote areas, the roaming companies they work with tend to be pretty reliable. Some negatives: Customer service is inconsistent. Not BAD necessarily, but sometimes you';ll
I was told by the Verizon rep that if you get a "Dare" or Voyager" (which is the fone i wanted) that I couldn't keep my old plan that used my minutes when in data; i had to go with their new plan that charges $2/meg for downloads (muisic, navigator, etc) plus now text messaging is .20/message instead of .10, and pictures are $.50 instead of .$25 which i now pay, so I kept the VG 8350
I'm amazed that so far I've watched six reviews about the Dare on CZcams, and so far not one single person has mentioned how good or bad the CALL QUALITY is. Everyone's focusing on the touch screen and camera which are great, but, this is a PHONE and as a phone, I personally need to know if the *call quality* is any good or not.
awe i miss this phone :( i upgraded to the iphone4s when it came out but i loved this phone
Looks like a cool phone. I'm going to buy it today if the store's open
i upgrade may 15 and this is the fone i plan on getting im really in love with this one i like it alot
I applaud you for an INTERESTING review. Really good info and not boring at all. Thanks dude!
yeah the Dare is pretty cool with all the features an ive got enough to get either one its jus that i want a cool phone thats thin
Lol. At 5:05 it says "Grammy Cell". thats classic man.
yea i had the same question thanks dude im gonna get the touch when my contract is over, witch is in sept 20th i don't remember but thanks defenatly the touch!
@Vinsem698 I don't believe they do. It was pretty much "replaced" with the LG Versa last year. If anything, the Versa has been replaced by another LG phone already too. While a good phone (I've had it for almost a year and a half, and also my firsts touchscreen phone), the typing/texting isn't too great. I wouldn't necessarily say it's because it's a touchscreen, but rather the technology that's behind that touchscreen. If I were you I'd look for a slightly more expensive CAPACITIVE touchscreen
Great Review!! Amazing! Yesterday I went to a Verizon store and I was trying out the Voyager, glyde and Dare. I left knowing I want the Dare for Christmas and I just wanted to see it again.
What did you get?
i like how whenever you touch something you immediatley pull your fingers back and close your hand
But you'd have to pay $15 a month every month for the same time-frame for the Dare, if you want web and email. It's $30 a month for the same feature on the Omnia, there is absolutely no difference between the two features. What you have to decide is paying $15 additional a month for the dare or $30 for the Omnia. But the argument is you get more features with the Omnia.
You have to test them out to see which one you'd like.
I just the LG Viewty wich is like the Dare but it has a 5mp camera with a Xenon flash and records video at 30fps and 120 fps in slowmo
I think it depends on preference. The Voyager is great, but the only thing is that it is thick and heavy. The Dare isn't. Personally, I prefer the Dare, which is something I'm getting later on this week.
Thanks for the review, 5*, I think I will get this phone, but it looks like I will have to change my plan in order for it to work.
This was the best feature phone of its time. The last non smartphone that I owned and it was a truly wonderful little phone.
+Troy Orem Same here, Switched to AT&T in 2009 for the iPhone 3GS, used the dare for a year
Theres two themes black and white. Phones really good it also has slow motion video recording its awesome. I've had it for 3 months now. The camera is great, texting needs getting used to because the touch is not very responsive. The camera has sooooo many features like ISO, Spot meterings, just alot of good stuff. It is definitely worth it, but check out the Blackberry Storm before you buy this it might be better because it has wifi whereas the Dare does not.
YES!!!!! it finaly came out on canada
@TaylorrHeartbreaker No this phone does not require a data plan, and I had this phone at point and loved it! I'm sure you will too.
thanks a lot for this video! i have an upgrade, and i wasn't sure what to buy. this sold me. thanks!
it depends what carrier you have personaly but i would say xenon cause at&t has better service
i'm confused too, the dare or voyager lol, but im gonna get the dare only because of better camera, bigger touch screen. but if u text alot then get the voyager
It is a calling network. Look it up
I love this phone so much, I've had the same one for 3 years when I bought it. It fits everything I need. Small, fast texting, music player. Sadly, nothing last, and it's dying. I think it's just the battery since it drains when I call or receive a call. But if it's not, I'll upgrade. I'll miss it though :'(
i have the lg vu, it is just great, but i have been looking at the dare and there is a few feature that i wish my phone had
1 i wish the vu had the headphone jack, it is just stressful using the recharging slot
2 the vu has a really good camera but the dare is obviously better
3 the sd slot is accessible from the out side on the dare, it just makes me mad having to turn off my phone fiddling with the card then turing it back on
4 the customizable layout is better on the dare
i want to upgrade =P
@trjoneskc no, it is a multimedia phone, kind of like the Chocolate or ENV2
You've got a great voice. Sounds like you could be a radio host. Does the phone take videos too?
I know that it's been a while since this phone's been out.. But it's between this and the LG Voyager....
There is a keyboard for texting if you rotate the phone horizontaly
Great review, does the phone do video?
Right on...you've got Kotaku on your browser homepage :)
hey u forgot to show that the pic can go all the way around and that u can play a slide show
I'm really torn on whether I should just go out and buy this or wait for the storm. I feel like the storm might be a little too big and have features I don't really need.
This obviously has a great touch input interface but i personaly like the voy better because of the physical keyboard. Nice review though.
i have used my friends and it seems fine but i dont have huge fingers eithe... im getting it in 2 days cant wait
wow I'm not sure what to get... This or the EnV2 or the glyde or the Voyager...
But i'm thinking this..
I've had my Dare for about 1 1/2 years. It's not a bad phone at all. It supports on-line Flash games, so it's very easy to download embedded flash games (for FREE) and put them on the phone using Bitpim. I have the game Connect 4 in place of ezTip Calculator, and I have Bowman 2 in place of the World Clock. :-)
The ezTipCalculator and World Clock are a waste of space anyway. :-)
i have this they dont sell it anymore and i much rather have a different phone. i just ordered the droid 2 and it should be here tomorrow
im pretty sure it depends on how much memory you have left on the phone or card
just brought it today!!! should get it tomorrow
I just exchanged my glyde for the dare and I couldn't be happier!
i love my dear its mad sick and i love going on the browsers and i hve 1 question do u need a specific plan to watch videos from youtube?
the lg dare is awesome. i just got mine two weeks ago and love it!!
From amazon, Not sure from which seller, though.
omfg i cant wait, im getting this phone 2morro and im so excited
Great vid man:) im getting this phone too and i wanna know if the internet is free or yours connected to a data plan?? Thx
hmm your right..thanks that made me make my mind up a little more!!! thanks
I think this was a great review. Really helps me decide between a curve or the dare
