My friend just picked up the LG DARE VX9700. its actually really nice phone. I want one but not for $450.

 

450 at unit price.. 250 with 50 mail in rebate.. so 200 with upgrade and renewal of contract

 

 

I can't see wi-fi being very useful on a phone. Most networks in my area are protected and those that are not are at my work and my house. And I have an MSI Wind for that. 3G on the other hand is useful on a train/bus or in the car especially if you like streaming internet radios like me.

Anybody know if you can tether the new iphone 3g as a modem? Last I heard you had to hack it... too many hacks...

 

I agree thats y verizon never really has it on its phones there all on the EVDO network with is very fast and the same network the broadband wireless internet cards are on.. WiFi isnt necessary.. to u iphone junkys its ur gratifying trait of the phone.. but isnt at all necessary..

 

Any pics of using the browser?

 

ley me know when you get he gets it he should by it from my girl at the verizon in burien

 

Iphone FTW lol

 

Phone scoop:
I mentioned the nifty cursor mode, although of course there's also a more typical mode where you drag your finger to pan, click to choose a link, etc. A quick touch (rather than a click) toggles full-screen mode. Like the iPhone, a double-tap zooms in intelligently, fitting whatever you tapped on to the full width of the screen. In general, the browser interface is great, and it renders pages well.

Unfortunately, it does none of this quickly. Pages were slow to load and render, and zoom/pan operations were slow and jerky. This ruined what would have otherwise been a pleasurable surfing experience.

 

3g fast the phone cant keep up with the speed of the internet whats the point....

oh yea WIFI makes a big deal alot of place have free wifi and when ur on the go WIFI is a big helper /but the 3g works great on the iphone too soo =)
