Did you have an LG Dare before your Incredible?

[killadanny]

Yeah, I would go a week without charging my env2 Still not complaining, or regretting

 

[knebel22]

My son went from the Dare to the Dinc.
He loved the phone and swore by it. Longest (18 months) he every
owned a phone without breaking it or getting it stolen.

Right after I got my Dinc his Dare miraculously broke.

We are now a two Dinc house.

 

[facedown41]

yup i had a dare before this as well, gave it to a friend, last i heard the battery had grown twice its size and looked as if it was going to explode lol, glad i didn't hang on to it

 

[Mr. Boom]

Wow, funny trend here. I still have my Dare. It's my backup phone now. I remember all the fuss over the Dare supposedly not working with flash web sites, but mine played all kinds of flash content. It was also one of the only phones to properly load up my credit union's website for online banking.

 

[xkingofgodzx]

I also had the dare

 

[fearofth3dark]

Wow when I started this I had no idea so many people would reply haha. I used to love the paint tool on it too. Got me through so many boring classes

 

[ACD168]

Dare here

 

[Droid21]

had the omnia and i hated it. just got my incredible 6 days ago and loving every minute of it

 

[drkeng]

I passed on the Dare because I couldn't control the scroll.
I got sucked into the butt ugly Versa, too. My touchscreen keyboard was awful--frequently off one letter in some rows, not others. did okay with ipod touch, so it wasn't all me. the hard keyboard was great, just thick and ugly.
the best would have been the enV touch.
I was a little scared of the virtual kb only on the inc, but it's been great, proving it wasn't me with the versa.

 

[Divine_Madcat]

One more dare owner here. It was ok at first, but boy did it start sucking fast. Teh screen was pathetic to use, and the overall function.... SLOW....

 

[TokedUp]

LOL I did have the dare. my mom uses it as a camera now LOL

 

[JoeGoe]

I like a few other wanted the Dare but was too cheap, and went for the *Shudders* Glyde *Pukes* That phone ruined Samsung for me. I finally got the firmware update for the Glyde, and it got better, but it still had a bad aftertaste.

 

[DataSchmuck]

I had the Dare the first day it was available. I thought I was so cool cause I had one of those new "smartphones". Heheh.

I loved showing it off to my friends and family, my favorite thing was to show them how the keyboard orientation changed depending on how you held the phone.

I hated the camera on it, though, my pictures were always blurry unless I held the phone perfectly still. No image shake compensation?

It still works exactly the same as the day I bought it. No scratches, never used any screen or case protection. I dropped it a couple times.

I bought the Incredible the day it came out. I realized as soon as I turned on the Dinc that I finally had a real smartphone.

Unfortunately all my friends and family had upgraded to android and iphone devices while I was stuck with the 2 year upgrade plan on the Dare. So when I got the Dinc I didn't really have much to show off except how fast it was at running apps and games.

Still, I don't miss anything from the old Dare days. I can't imagine ever going back to pre-android.

this is why i got a 1-year contract with my incredible.

 

[Fantasma]

I got my dare the day it came out, 2 years later I got the Incredible the day it came out..

I wonder which phone we will be having in two years?


Anyways, my dare is still alive and well... My GF has it in the meantime we fin her something better she switched from an ENV2 and loves the dare.


Specially the camera, I loved that little camera.

I also remember the comments on HF that it was an Iphone killer. LOL!

Sweet phone though.

 

[today]

I miss my LG dare every time I send an mms and it fails ( says its corrupted ) or I want to send a video clip and connot edit the clip to the size I need. That phone was ahead of its time when it came to mms function. And that slo-mo feature on the camera was fantastic for analyzing a golf swing. The inc is great for what it does but I think I got a little spoiled by the dare when it came to those features. Oh yeah, and forwarding and resending have been a problem on this inc. Probably just me tho. Anyone else agree?

 

[Boomer1300]

My Dare screen died which made me look at other phones and glad I found in Inc. Love it so far. Can't wait for upgrades.

 

[matab14]

chalk up another previous Dare owner....Wasn't bad at the time, but towards the end it was getting really really slow! I think it knew it's time was limited!

 

[Sevreth]

I too am part of the Dare owners club.

The Dare was a good phone for texting and calling. Music player was mediocre, but i liked the drag and drop feature.

I bought it because it had one of the best cameras (3.2MP) at the time. Holds nothing to my Dinc, but was a good phone for the 2 years I owned it.

[rezeew]

Also had the Dare. Hooray for same upgrade cycle

 

[ChiTownJim]

I got the dare right when it came out. They advertised it as a solid iPhone alternative and while I really enjoyed my Dare for almost 2 years and used it as a music player and gps the whole time and it did it well. It had a lot of flaws and I had to get it replaced toward the end constantly.

But went from the Dare > Moto Droid > Eris > Now Incredible

 

[Ecks]

I had a Dare for about a year and a half, and the only reason I now have my Incredible is because I jumped into a pool with my Dare in my pocket I did all the stuff you shouldn't do when drowning a cell phone: turn it on immediately, leave the battery in, etc

 

[psptpr98]

I had a brief affair with a Droid Eris (about 3 months) before my Incredible, but I had a Dare for a long time before the Eris.

 

[Skipdawg]

Yep same here came from the Dare. As with the Incredible got it day one also.

 

[ltbakken]

I also had a Dare.
