Verizon Wireless today announced the LG Dare, a touch screen business phone similar to the iPhone. Users can navigate the menu with flick of a finger. They can flip through the contact list for speedy texting, emailing and phoning. Favorites can be reached with a drag and drop photo interface.
Featuring 3G VCAST capabilities, the handheld supports VCAST Music to download from over 2 million songs and VCAST Video to stream entertainment clips, sports highlights, breaking news and weather.
A 3.2-megapixel still and video camera automatically adapts to low or unevenly distributed light for better quality pictures. The photo editing tool features borders, landscape and a fun doodle option right on the screen. Consumers can directly upload customized photos to social networking sites.
The Dare supports audible turn-by-turn directions via VZ Navigator. Built-in GPS locates nearly fourteen million points of interest in the U.S., including landmarks, restaurants and even ATMs.
