The Incite is a mixture of good and bad. It has some good features such as the camera and web browsing speeds, but it also has a lot of negatives. It seems like LG is using this phone as a testing ground for what is to come in the future. The Incite needs some work in order to make the menus with Windows Mobile flow better and make them more usable. The touch integration could also be improved. The lack of a stylus makes Windows Mobile a little more difficult to use. 

Where the Incite excels at connectivity and messaging, it gets a 5/10 for music playback, video capture, and call quality. 

I say the Incite is a good start for LG and touch screen smartphones, but they still have some work to do.

To protect my beloved LG Dare, I purchased a silicon case, very similar to the one shown above. The only major difference between my case, and the one shown, is my particular case has a silicon layer covering the front hard buttons. 

I purchased this case from my local VZW store, for a hefty price of $22. Although expensive, the case does a fine job of keeping my Dare safe from bumps and drops. It was very easy to slip my Dare into, and it adds some extra grip to prevent a potentialy "deadly" drop. 

I have a few quirks with this case. At $22, it was not cheap. For a case of this quality, I expected a cheaper price tag. Another peeve I have with this product is the silicon has a tendency to "grab" onto your pants, making it difficult to pull out of a pocket.

All in all, this Verizon silicon case gets the job done, however it does cost a pretty penny.

Released earlier this fall, Motorola's Krave ZN4 from Verizon Wireless joins a strong crowd of competitors in the touch screen cell phone market. The Krave is not a smartphone, but it offers features and a design that is unique in its own right.

The Krave touts not one, but two awesome touch screens, a one-of-a-kind design and great multimedia services including live television from Verizon's VCAST Mobile TV, Rhapsody music service and the VZ Navigator GPS application.

Despite being a flip phone, the Krave's transparent cover only enhances the phone's vibrant 2.8-inch  LCD screen underneath. Additional highlights include a 2.0-megapixel camera, MP3 music player software, 3.5mm headset jack, full QWERTY keyboard and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The Krave is sure to be a hit for Verizon Wireless.
