I had my wife all set for us to get 3g iPhones. When I started telling people of my marital victory a couple people with iPhones told me about their reception they get and some of the problems with the network.
So, after a bunch of research, I decided to stay with Verizon since my top use for a phone is as a phone and they have the best network. I figured if I REALLY find out I need the functionality I can buy the iPod Touch. In the meantime I just got the Dare (decided I didn't need the functionality of the Diamond or The Thunder so no sense waiting). I really like it. I'm coming from a 6800 "smart" phone that ran windows 5.0. So far The Dare does everything I want of it and more. It's great to make calls, the interface is intuitive and easy, and I have no problems with the touch screen. Plus it has a 3.2 megapixel camera and is about the best phone camera I've ever used. It's even got the 2 touch shutter button w/ auto focus, flash, and configurable settings. Anyway, if you're looking for a Verizon phone that comes closer to the iPhone, get The Dare! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:263760 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
