New phone!!
So I’ve been wanting to post about this all week but have been horribly busy. I finally got a new phone. I was waiting for the iPhone 3G to come out to look at it and think about getting it. I was pretty bummed to have to go to ATT though as they have horrible coverage in Flagstaff and when I left ATT several years ago it was over HORRIBLE customer service. That added to the fact that I love Verizon and have had no problems with them in the 6 years I have been with them and they have great coverage even when i’m out hiking and such. So an amazing thing happened… LG introduced the Dare on Verizon. I got one on Monday and couldn’t be happier. Sure it doesn’t have the hype that iPhone does and it is not by Apple. But the only thing missing between the two phones is the built in WiFi capabilty (Dare doesn’t have it). But in the week I’ve had the Dare I haven’t missed it a bit. I also love the faster data network! Standing in line for Dark Knight last night a friend of mine who has an iPhone started to load a video from YouTube and by the time he could play the video I had already watched 2 and had started the video he was trying to watch.
My faves so far…
1. The 3.2mp camera
2. The ability to MMS picture message. iPhone can’t do this and all of my contacts can and wouldn’t go to their email to see a picture in any kind of timely manner.
3. The haptic response is awesome, you can adjust the level of the vibrated response for when you touch a key or turn it off all together.
4. The internet. I haven’t had internet on my phone before and I LOVE it! No more when I get home I’ll Google that, I can do it now and email the results to myself if I’ll need to look at them later.
So my recommendation… if you’re not interested in ATT but really want an iPhone, give the Dare a try.
