LG launches its full touchscreen handset ‘Dare’ model LG-VX 9700 through Verizon Wireless Communications in the US.  Dare is being positioned in the US markets to compete head-on with Apple’s new iphone 3G and Samsung’s Instinct.

The best feature of the Dare is its 3.2M photo camera with auto focus, face detection, manual ISO adjustment, flash, panorama shots and video recording in VGA mode.  It also comes with SmartPic technology which makes editing easier.  The  Dare’s camera appears to have better features than that of both the i-phone and Instinct.

Dare comes with a 3 inch TFT touchscreen display with 260k colors and 240/400 pixel resolution. The other features of the Dare include a tactile feedback while typing, handwriting recognition, a dual-band CDMA connectivity with EV-DO for high-speed data transfer and VZ Navigator.

The usual features like GPS, Blue tooth 2.1 with EDR, e-mail, Instant Messaging, Music and Video players and Image Editor are also present.

Dare also comes with a full HTML browser with touch navigation and favorites but an apparent disadvantage is that it is able to display only specially formatted websites. 

Dare measures 4.1×2.2×0.5 inches (104×56x12.7 millimeters) and weighs 3.76 ounces (107 gms).

The 1,100 mAh battery can give 4280 minutes of talk-time and 360 hours in stand-by mode.

Dare handsets are now available in Verizon’s Wireless Communication Stores across the US.
