Did you have an LG Dare before your Incredible?

[regnak]

Yup, I had one; actually, it's still in my drawer just in case [god forbid] my Inc meets an unfortunate end.

 

[superchaos]

I had the Dare, then the Eris, then a Dinc. Youngest now had the Dare, Teen has the Eris.

 

[Liquoredolce]

I still have mine and for some reason carry it in my briefcase lol

It was a great phone for normal use (no internet or anything for me back in those days). Needless to say I was pretty excited when I came to the Inc.

I am also a former Dare owner.

i got my dare on release day or maybe it was the day after. loved the hardware construction and "hand feel" of the dare but it was soooo slow browsing. it had several super-annoying bugs with bluetooth and verizon's policies with respect to sending photos in mms messages (size restrictions) really ticked me off. battery life was great. attaching a photo to an mms was very slow from the microsd card. having vcast tv was cool but i didn't often use it. liked the photos but the exif data was terrible. was disappointed that it couldn't geotag photos.

i waited until the beginning of this month to get the incredible. what a phone but i am already not enjoying having to be constantly concerned about the battery. i will probably buy a larger battery (htc 1500mAh) for a slight improvement.

just the other day i was at fry's trying to decide which product to buy (car inverter). i used the amazon app that has barcode scanning to go right to the product page and read the reviews. way cool.

My wife and I both had Dares and now we both have Incredibles. C'mon, how could you NOT get one with the HOT girl on the ledge "daring" me to touch it.

Yep. I came from a dare too. It was the best thing out there when I made the switch to Verizon. Loved that phone. Nothing compared to the inc though.

 

[dmiller2007]

I noticed this trend as well. I too had a dare, still works great. A friend is actually using it atm. I remember deciding between a dare and a glyde. I went with the glyde (horrible move) and returned it in 2 weeks and went with the dare. I will never buy a samsung phone again.

 

[killadanny]

No, I had a env2 (ew) then upgraded to an Eris, then returned it after two weeks cuz you know who was announced.

 

[hookem]

Also had an LG Dare a year ago.
Killed it by dropping it in the toilet.
Had to revert to my LG vx9400 (Tony Stark's phone in first Iron Man).
Got Droid Eris last Christmas.
Got Droid Inc last month.

Edit:. The only thing I miss about the dare is the "high speed" (slow motion) camera feature.

 

[sailfone]

i DARE to say, it was incredible for it's time....but now how INCREDIBLE it is from 2 years ago.....

NOW THAT'S INCREDIBLE (HTC)!!!!!

 

[killadanny]

Wonder what a phone two years from now would be like..

No, I had a env2 (ew) then upgraded to an Eris, then returned it after two weeks cuz you know who was announced.

The LG Envy2 was a good phone! It was my 2nd favorite media phone after the Dare.

well i loved it when I had it, but once you go Incredible you nevah go back.

 

[cane2477]

I sold my Dare on ebay right after I bought the DINC. Made a quick $75! Was a great phone, the only thing I miss about it now though is the battery life

 

[lbrow042]

I had a Dare as well.....wife is using it now. It was so awesome for two years and now when I pick it up I can't barely use it.

 

[richb82]

I had a Dare until July 3rd when I decided it would be a good idea to bring it in to the pool with me to see if it could swim. Luckily I already had my Dinc on order and was just waiting another 2 weeks for it to arrive. Since I couldn't revive my Dare, I reverted back to my trusty old E815. Man, talk about a trip back in time. That was the best phone VZ had at the time, but it couldn't hold a candle to the Dare. Then the Dare was the best for its time, but can't hold a candle to the Dinc (to be fair, the battery life is better and the camera is about the same as my Dincs, and even has an included panoramic function the Dinc doesnt have), I'm really interested to see what's next to come in 2 years when it's time to upgrade and I'm looking back thinking "man, the Dinc was one of the best phones in 2010 but it doesnt compare to XXX phone!".

Maaan, I do love and that battery life though.

 

[damewolf13]

When I went to VZW on Inc day, Apr. 29th, the sales girl saw that my new Inc was replacing my Dare, and asked if I wanted to sell it for $40 to her best friend, who always wanted one. I found out that she was a single mom, with a small income, so I gave it to her a few days later. That Dare was in "like new" condition too. No scratches anywhere on it. I also sent her all of my cases, and tons of paid for wallpapers.

 

[stkorn97]

hahaha, had a dare here also.

 

[bhill]

Yup! Dare here too! Sold it via one of the recycling sites. I loved it for what it was, but this is so much more fun!

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Did, so did my wife, but she now has an X

 

[bjtcars]

I had one before the Dinc and it was a great phone.

 

[Pretkomel]

I had it before and gave it to my wife .

 

[TheBeardedMann]

I hated my Dare.

 

[DevilsSi1481]

i loved my Dare which i also had previous to my Incredible! this is so weird that so many people had one haha.
