main reason the dare is so appealing is because of the verizon network. verizon phones suck but their coverage and plans are great. i was going to buy a 3g iphone until i saw this and decided to stick with verizon. why would i pay for a 3g data plan when the nearest 3g area is 50 miles east? not to mention atts coverage in general is terrible. the only reason to not like this verizon phone is no wifi. this phone has picture messaging, much much better call quality, stereo blutooth, camera flash, you can use your fingernails, expandable memory, and useful external buttons; compared to the iphone. the iphone isnt the all knowing and powerful item you make it to be in this review. the dare is a very good alternative for people on verizon or just in general.

I’d take the dare. I like my MMS, video camera, and flash. I will admit I HATE the verizon OS but I’ll deal with it.

@Nick

You kind of destroyed your argument with the mention of the cars. Of course all cars are going to have the same basic elements – yet, we have hundreds of different car designs to choose from.

You don’t have to make a phone that looks like the iPhone just because you have a touch screen. See the OpenMoko Freerunner for a nice example…or the original LG Prada, which used the black and silver without matching the iPhone’s trim.
