LG Dare

MSRP: $199

This is the best touchscreen phone on Verizon Wireless, but it doesn’t raise the bar among touchscreen phones.

Review date: Jul 1, 2008

The LG Dare is the first candy bar–style touchscreen phone to hit Verizon Wireless’ shelves, and while it looks strikingly similar to AT&T’s LG Vu, Verizon’s version forgoes live mobile TV for a higher resolution 3.2-megapixel camera, handwriting recognition, GPS, and a revamped user interface. At $199 (with $50 mail-in rebate and two-year contract), the LG Dare is inferior to the iPhone, but it’s a far more compelling alternative to the LG Voyager and Samsung Glyde for multimedia-savvy VZW subscribers. LG Dare Design The LG Dare is almost exactly the same size as the LG Vu
