Loading ...PhoneArena.com did a very detailed comparison between these 4 Touchscreen phones available in the US market. Here is the conclusion. Instinct came in first place, with iPhone in second, and followed by Dare and Vu. See if you agree with their assessment.
The full report can be found here.
I do not agree with the results, I have the iphone and I am getting ready to return it. Messaging? it got a 3 what? You can not save a single text message, you either save the whole conversation or not. Video hello? It does not have video. The camera yes takes great pictures if light is present, you can’t zoom in or out. I think this phone is a waste of great potential. The blue tooth is only for the headphones what? So you can’t paired your phone to your pc or laptop nice!!! So advanced but at the same time so behind.
This is terrible, the Dare should get way better scores than that! The design is great, I would give it a 4 or 4.5. The interface, YOU KIDDING ME! its more customizeable than any of those other phones, how did it only get a 3.5? Video? 1? It has the best video possible on a phone, 120 fps. If your talking about watchin videos its great for that also, I cant believe it only got a 1. Messaging is waaay easier than on the iphone, I give it a 5 and the iphone a 3.5. I cant even type on the iphone, way too cramped. And the Misc only a 3? It has so many things to do on it, draw pad, games, music, picture editor, internet, and more. This is a terrible comparison.
the vu is actually a pretty good phone it has most of the things the ipohne has ecxept for the fact that its just like an ipod i recently looked at the instinct and the theinstinct is also descent but i dont have sprint so i got the lg vu because it was new and it has most of the things like the iphone just some features are not on the vu i dont think the vu shouldhave came in last atleast 2nd or 3rd the iphone is a complete waist of money.
This is horrible i mean come on the dare is just a freaky copy of the vu if no one noticed, cuz think about it the vu came out first and it have more and better features then the dare. Oh and how in the world did the dare get a better design score then the vu they LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE expect for color. The only thing good about the dare is the camera. The vu has tv and wht does the dare have NOTHING execpt for a menu that u can organize. The vu should have gotten at least 2nd or third. The vu even gets channels the regular tv cant even get. Plus if u have to go sumwhere and u dont want to miss your show then u can watch it on the vu.
Jeremy,
VU IS NOT BETTER THAN THE DARE!!
The Dare actually is an improvment on the Vu.
And the Dare has nothing? That’s funny. And not true.
So shutup and ‘enjoy’ your little Vu.
I would agree. This review is not accurate. The design is great as well as the interface. The instinct does not have the feature that will swivel the display from portrait to landscape. The video is way better than the 1 given by the reviewer. Also battery life was not address and the dare has 6 hours compared to 5 hours in the iphone and less in the instinct. Messaging has not been a problem for me either. YOu hae a choice between a keyboard, smart type or drawpad. The drawpad is a bit unrefined but the feature is there. Again an all around great phone. Plus unlike the iphone the dare and instinct has removable memory. That is a big plus. I like the Dare and again believe the critique is not very accurate.
this review by far is horrible. the dare is the upmost best touch screen interface phone on the market. has fast internet, verizons outstanding service, what more could you ask for? it has so many feautures that make the phone. Virtual full keyboard? oh yes. 3.2 megapixel camera? believe it.
the dare is amazing. Getchawon
This review is very biased because of the fact that everyone feels the iphone should be this perfect device that no other thing can compete with so it tends to make people more biased when comparing things but I mean seriously if people wanted to figure out which of the two is the best then all they have to do is research…theres alot of sites out such as http://www.lg-dare.com/ I mean LG even made a picture manual for the phone site http://www.lgmobilephones.com/phone.aspx?id=8712 so I mean if people really wanted to find out what is the better phone use resources not reviews….
It’s crazy that alot of people are saying how good the Dare and Vu are as touch phones. I read the comparison very closely and agreed with the findings. The Instinct is the better phone. For those of you with either of the other three phones please write down all of the pro’s and cons. You will then see what the comparison test did. But for those of you who like quick answers, ask yourselves these questions if you have a Vu, Iphone or Dare. Do you have a service that let you use all of your phones features for $99.00 a month (unlimited text, web, tv, gps, weather, radio, updated all around news, email, ect). Gives you two batteries, stereo earphone with mic, home power cord, pc adapter, carrying case, stylus pen and a 2GB memory card. Oh, and the display does swivel from portrait to landscape. Has voice command GPS and web access. Can scroll an internet page with a press of a button and by moving the phone either up, down side to side. There’s so, so, so much more. Now ask yourself, is your Iphone, Vu or Dare better.??.
how is dare a ripoff of vu? they are made by the SAME COMPANY!!! hello they cant rip themselves off? LG made vu for at&t, and dare for verizon.
How come there aren’t much comments regarding the Instinct? I recently purchased an Instinct and a plan to go with it, (in response to Michael M.) Sprint offer the same plan mentioned and is only $69.99; he phone comes with all the goodies that he mentioned as well. I think the Instinct has a great design and is elegant compared to the Vu and Dare. SO far, the only thing that I’m not too satisfied about is the TV capability - so choppy!! - what’s up with that? A friend of mine has the Vu - his TV capability is way better than what the Instinct has to bring.
Janice L,
Continue to check your phone for updates. My TV was a bit choppy at first, but after the latest update, the picture has gotten much, much better. But try to realize that this is a phone, and not a HDTV home system. I’m pretty sure that Sprint will continue to update the phone. There’s supposed to be an update coming out 17 Sept to give the browser better quality and to speed it up even more. Be sure to go to the Sprint forum from the Instinct home page.
How did you get the everything plan for $69.99?
well well well, i knew the instinct was the best then all of those phones especially the dare! i sent this from my INSTINCT, WOOOOO GO INSTINCT!!!!!
please let me know how much my monthly payment will be if i were to get the dare, iphone and vu…who has more bang for there bucks??? thanks
iPhone, Instinct or Dare…
What to get…iPhone, Instinct, or Dare?? I’ve carried my HTC Apache (Verizon’s XV6700) for two years and have decided that it was fun while it lasted, but time for something a little more compact, a little lighter weight, and a little more elegant…
I have navigated each phone in different stores and have spent time with the instinct and iphone and I will agree that the Instinct won me over. It just offers more. IT doesn’t look as great as iphone apps but it offers MORE!!
On the Subject of the dare and the vu:
I have a vu and have used a dare and i think that the vu’s screen has more contrast but the dare’s is brighter. The dare is more customizable. The vu has great tv capabilities for a phone. The Dare does have a better camera, but in direct comparison, the screen size is so similar between the two phones that it is hard to tell the difference.
The dare came out later, ie. is like an upgrade to the vu, meaning that yes, it is marginally better. however, it isn’t good enough to change providers over, so get the phone that is on the provider that you really want.
Keep the comments coming, guys. It’s nice to get a different perspective from people who have used these phones.
IM GETTING AN ISTINCT…!!!
i have the INSTINCT and i love my phone i can do everything with it. i recently compared it to the i phone and concluded it is way better. if u dont have a phone or want to switch to sprint definately get the INSTINCT!!
