The LG VX9700 (or "LG Dare") is LG's newest touch phone, a variant of the popular Korean and European LG Prada or LG Vu. In the U.S. it was released online June 26, 2008 and was released in Verizon stores on July 3rd, 2008. The phone features touch screen navigation, a 3.2 megapixel camera with face recognition and many photo enhancing tools, a camcorder, customizable shortcut menus and a multitask music player. The Dare also has a feature which allows the user to save a list of their favorite contacts and have quick access to them and a handwriting feature which allows the user to write numbers or letters by writing with a finger. The LG Dare is the third phone to have Rev. A technology - after the Sprint Mogul and Touch. Rev. A is the fastest technology currently offered for wireless data on cellular phones. It is considered to be Verizon Wireless's answer to AT&T's Apple iPhone, and is sometimes referred to as an "iPhone Killer." A two-year contract for the LG Dare costs $149.99.
Camera
The LG Dare has a 3.2 Megapixel Camera and a Schneider-Kreuznach autofocus lens which includes a LED Flash. Some features of the camera include 5 different resolutions, five white balance presets, five color effects, four ISO settings (Auto ISO, ISO 100, ISO 200, and ISO 400) and six preset scenes. Other options include multishot, shutter sounds (three of them), auto focus, self timer, and four different shot types (Normal, Panorama, Split and Frame). The newest innovation called SmartPic technology offers face detection and enhances images with face color compensation.
