      The LG Dare for Verizon Wireless has a very neat tool built into the phone. The Drawing Pad feature allows users to sketch pictures using their finger. The tool offers multiple settings such as changing the pen width, eraser width, and pen color. Using these simple tools, some users have been able to devlop some VERY good pictures, such as the one shown above. Brett Rogers is an artist who has an LG Dare phone. He has found the Drawing Pad to be a different, and exciting new way to express his artistic side. Using the basic tools provided, he has created many cool pictures. Here are a few samples:               You may view his entire collection here: http://www.beatcanvas.com/index.asp?blogid=1&th... Read more

    As a teenager, text messaging is the most used form of communication. It is not uncommon for some teens to exchange over 20,000 text messages a month!  Just for fun, let's do some math... Out of the 20,000 messages, around 10,000 are sent messages.  10,000 divided by 30 days in a month is about 333 sent messages per day.  For this example's sake let's say the texter is awake for 15 hours a day.  333/15 hours= just over 22 texts an hour.  This eqates to around 1 SENT text every 2 minutes and 45 seconds!

    When it comes to screen protection, there are many options available; Invisible Shield, PhantomSkinz, Verizon brand screen covers, etc.  At varying prices, quantity, and application instructions, it is hard to choose between them! When I purchased my Dare from my local Verizon store, I also pickd up a 3-pack of the Verizon screen covers for $10. I figured, why spend over $20 on name brand products, when I can get essentially the same thing for half as much?  Applying the covers is very easy. It is as simple as peeling off the protective film like a sticker, and placing the cover on the clean screen of my Dare. I was able to successfully apply the cover the very first time, and it only took me about five minutes to do so. This application process is muc... Read more
