LG - Dare VX9700 Cell Phone Review

I recently purchased the LG Dare after experiencing frustration with the traditional flip-type phone.  The hinge kept breaking so I asked the Verizon clerk for a non-flip phone.  She directed me to the Dare.  It is a touch screen, I find it fairly accurate.  Sometimes I have to re-touch a button.  I found it easy to program and set up.  It takes fantastic pictures and video.  I live far from my family so this option is a must for me.  I also text frequently and the "keyboard" is great.  MUCH easier to use than a standard keypad.  You can hold the phone upright or sideways.  The graphics are really clear.  For fun I downloaded a game, Bejeweled.  Easy and fun with a touchscreen.  It is easy to load the calender with appointments.  There is also a quick screen with all of your most used functions.  My bluetooth synced easily.  I would recommend purchasing screen covers and a hard carrying case to protect your phone.
