New Phone?

Jul 14, 2008 11:58

So my new every two feature with Verizon has come around, and I'm looking at one of two new phones. I'm not looking to switch carriers to AT&T, so please don't suggest the iPhone ( Read more... )

Yah, it is. I'm limited to the LG Dare, Voyager, Venus, and Samsung Glyde.

my sister has the Voyager and loves it. the full keyboard is nice for obvious reasons, but she really likes the interface for the touchscreen as well. I'm pretty much partial to my phone (the enV), but they don't make it anymore. and ... I've never seen the Dare before. just my $.02. : )

I have the voyager. my only complaint is that the camera doesn't have a flash, but other than that, I love it. Just make sure you go for the premium plan when you get it, otherwise you'll end up paying to use most of the features -- but with premium, you only get charged for things you choose to buy -- like ringtones, and all the web browsing, mobile email/chat/etc, navigator, etc . is free.

I ended up getting the Dare. Same features as the Voyager, minus mobile TV and physical keyboard. Dare has a better camera (3.2 megapixels with flash), all touch interface, and is a lot thinner. I have 30 days to exchange, is the mobile TV worth switching?

I actually didn't purchase the Mobile TV option (it's extra), so I'd say no, because I still love the phone without it. So the Dare sounds like it's probably a good choice. The only complaint I have about the phone isn't specific to it, just that I had a hard time getting used to the touch-screen texting, so I'm glad to have the QWERTY keyboard for that reason, because it's much faster (for me).
