Verizon's LG Dare touchscreen contender available tomorrow for $200


Verizon Wireless isn't kidding around with this new Dare phone from LG: it'll hit Verizon's online shop tomorrow (the 26th) for $200 with a $50 rebate, and then land in retail on July 3rd. We've had little time to get accustomed to its touchscreen mug, unlike Sprint's long run-up to the Instinct, but Verizon and LG have certainly done their homework. There's a whole lot to chew on here, so we're going to drop it on you bullet point style:

Hardware:

* Dimensions: 103.9 x 55.6 x 13.8 mm (that's 0.54-inches thick for us yanks)
* 3-inch, 240 x 400 touchscreen LCD with "Vibe-Touch" tactile feedback
* Rev A EV-DO
* 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus and exposure control
* 120 fps slow-motion movie record mode
* 3.5mm headphone jack
* microSD up to 8GB
* Proximity sensor for switching off the LCD when against your face
* Light sensor to adjust LCD brightness automatically
* Accelerometer
* 3D graphics acceleration, supports app transitions and rotations

Software:

* "Full HTML" browser (barely) with page overview and zoom functions
* V Cast store and VZ Navigator
* Cover Flow-alike music app
* 51 possible apps, 11 app "drag & drop" shortcut menu
* Shortcuts draggable to home screen
* Graphical favorites menu, drag icons to pertinent task like message, call or edit
* Contact list includes search ribbon and filtering
* Text input via QWERTY, predictive keypad or handwriting recognition
* Drawing pad includes colors, pen widths, eraser for scribbling and picture "editing"

Phew, these guys really packed it in. Stand by for our hands-on impressions.
