The LG VX 9700 Dare by Verizon Wireless is a completely touch-screen phone. Like the iPhone, there is no keypad or keyboard. I am impressed with this new phone because of how many cool things you can do with it like dragging and dropping icons from the menu to the desktop, take still shots from videos, and you can take panamoric shots with the camera.

The Dare incorporates technology called 3D Rotations which allows you to turn the phone at a 90 degree angle and the screen changes from Portrait to Landscape so you can view pictures and websites easier. When inputting text, rotating the phone switches from a touch-sensitive numeric keypad to a full QWERTY.

The biggest learning curve with the LG Dare is the completely touch-screen form of input. Spend more than a few days with this phone before you decide you hate touch screens because you will quickly grow to love it.
