Test: Einzeltest: LG Dare (VX9700)
Zitat: The touch screen takes a little getting used to. With a high-end 3.2-megapixel camera, multimedia capabilities, and other standard features of today´s high-end products, the LG Dare bursts onto the scene as a state-of-the-art addition to the world of cell phone technology. Its the Dare´s sleek-looking touch screen design that truly brings it to the forefront of the mobile pack. Since both the LG Dare and Apple iPhone share touch screen technology, users may be unsure which to purchase. The answer depends on the user´s taste. Other than the touch screen and general shape, the two phones are actually not too similar. The first issue is network: the Dare is on Verizon, and the iPhone is on AT&T. Users with a strong preference for one network or the other already have their answer. The Dare excels over the iPhone in terms of user-generated visual media. Both video recording and MMS are offered on the Dare but not on the iPhone. Also, at 3.2-megapixels, the Dare´s camera tops the iPhone´s 2.0-megapixel offering. The Dare is the obvious choice for users whose biggest priorities are recording pictures / video, and sharing them with friends and colleagues via text messaging. The iPhone, on the other hand, fares better than the Dare in terms of internet connectivity and applications. Undoubtedly, comparisons with the Apple iPhone 3G will be made. And while the refinement nor the brand-recognition is there, the Dare offers a solid entry into the playing field of high-end cell phone technology.
