LG DARE Review
LG DARE
Now I’m sure almost everyone read all the websites on what the DARE features, I want to give you first hand common use of the DARE and all the capabilities since we all study and research the DARE months ago I won’t bore you with all its features, just experiences of using the DARE in real time as you might.
I received the DARE cell phone on Monday June 30th, it was then that I fully charge the extended battery I ordered and preceded the journey of mastering the DARE. More about how long the extended battery lasted a little later? When I ordered the DARE I ordered the extended battery, the carrying case, and car charger. The carrying case seems pretty good; it’s the landscape type that clips to your pants/belt, which works well.
My first suggestion is to be patience and refer to the user guide, I went from the razr to the DARE and I will tell that there’s a whole new sequence of events to operate the DARE. The first thing I had to get use to is unlocking the screen every time I wanted to use the phone or answer call/text. This feature is sensible due to the touch screen, and without it locking automatic or manually, the phone call activate while in your pocket or carrying case. You can lock it manually if you so desire after ending a call or use of the phone. You can find screen locking feature frustrating like I did if your upgrading from a standard non-screen phone, but don’t, after using the DARE over a week I now find it a way of life, allow yourself to make adjustment to your new phone.
Typing on the touch screen is fumbling at first, once again allow yourself time to adjust. I’m not a text person, a matter of fact I’m not bad at texting… I’m terribly poor at it. I will tell from a person without any texting habits that I prefer the vertical screen (cell phone screen) rather than the landscape (qwerty), but the landscape is not that bad, and I have big fingers, trying to punch the keys takes concentration. When you use the landscape key board (qwerty) there are two things to remember, first, when your setting up your cell phone, calibrate the touch screen for sensitivity, and take your time typing, the landscape keyboard (qwerty) is not built for speed.
The battery… I purchase the extended battery as I stated before, yes I’m a battery freak, there’s nothing worst that losing power at a crucial moment. I fully charge the extended battery on a Monday 5pm; Friday morning I had still had one bar left. You could imagine that I constantly use the phone, texting, videos, photo, Internet, emails, and just constantly exploring leaving my phone 24 hours, and setting up my Dare. I could not run the battery all the way down because I was on vacation in Atlantic City New Jersey and needed to re-charge due to being on the go.
The video Camera is Excellent, but here is an ALERT, make sure you purchase SD-card, you cannot email a high-resolution video via email/video message. I purchase a SD-card and the adapter for the SD-card to plug into my apple power book. The adapter is a flash drive (hard drive) with a slot for SD-cards to plug in. The SD-card allows you to transfer photos and videos from your phone to the SD-card and then to your computer. ALERT, the slot on the side of the DARE is small and when you push the SD-card in you will need finger nails or something small and thin to penetrate the slot so the card catches to hold in place, and the same goes for releasing it, when pressure is put onto the card it pops out of the slot for removing. If you big fingers, no nails, or something available to that effect, your dead, you’re not getting that SD-card out or back in.
The camera (3.2) takes great photos, there are many tools on the camera and video camera to play with, refer to the user guide for all your options. I took some videos of the Beach Boys concert on the beach, fireworks at the Borgota, and a photo on the boardwalk. The photo was not taken at the highest resolution but the videos were set at it highest resolution. A friend of mine allowed me to post the photo at his site.
