The LG Dare is a very impressive phone & is fun to play around with.
It has a large touchscreen, it is not bulky like most phones of this design and fits nicely in your hand. My hands are small!
The Dare has a 3D rotation feature that allows you to hold the phone vertical (which gives you a regular cellphone screen when texting) or horizontal (qwerty keyboard). It will auto adjust for the angle you want to hold it at.
It has lots of neat features like the hand-writing recognition (which I have yet to master) & a drawing pad, which is cool for sketching ideas or drawing a map or doodle when you are bored).
The screen auto-adjusts depending on your current lighting conditions, so it won't blind you when using it the dark! But if you were using it outside in the sun, the screen will be much brighter and this will use up your battery life a little faster.
It also has a sensor for face detection, this means that when you hold the phone up to your face the screen goes dark...and this is good for your battery.
The menu has a scroll finger navigation (something like the iphone), you have to get used to not pressing or tapping the screen when scrolling through these menus or the phone will think you are trying to open the high-lighted option. You can also move around your menu icons by dragging them across the screen with your finger.
After about a week, you will be very comfortable using this phone. However the handwriting recognition will probably take longer. It is just so different then my old flip phone.

I've had this phone for about 3 months now and it's been a nightmare. When I first got it, it wouldn't allow me to connect to the web, after many attempts Telus finally figured it out and that problem has been resolved.But I still get error messages and Forbidden messages whevever I'm on the web with this phone, Seems like Telus keeps a pretty tight control of what you can and can't do on the web. I also found out that this phone does not allow video downloading, which I was not made aware of when I bought it. Even on Telus home page when you try and download one of there videos the message comes up "this phone does not suppert video downloading". After getting the runaround from Telus, their tech guy finally tried it also with a similar phone and he couldn't get to download either. It's pretty scary when your Telus doesn't support the phones they sell. Spoke with LG Canada and said they couldn't help because they weren't sure what format the Telus videos are in, that threw me for a loop, you'd think Telus and LG would get together on the formats they're going to use. Bottom line stay away from this phone , get an Iphone instead
