The LG Dare is a cell phone that is completely touch screen. Its shape, hold, use, applications and touch screen abilities make it miraculous. It compares to the LG Prada, Google G1, LG Voyager or the LG Vu, popular phones in Korea and Europe.
The LG Dare works specifically the way it was intended. You can download ringtones, games, tools, and many other useful applications all very simple to remove if necessary. It is advanced with its great 3.2 megapixel camera. With great pictures you can add things to them and edit them to your personal preferences. The touch screen is a slight learning experience, but after a little practice it becomes much easier. Like all touch-screen phones, the LG Dare's design is dominated by a large display covering almost the entirety of the phone's front surface. You can set it up to vibrate every time you touch it, or possibly even click. For texting you can set it to T9, ABC, or keyboard. This is a great application for the untrained texter. You can set a favorites menu in which you can add up to 9 contacts for easy texting and calling. Overall, after a day’s practice the LG Dare is an easy phone to use, but just starting out it is a bit difficult.
Average Price of the LG Dare is $365 compared to similar phones; LG Vu is $300, Google G1 is only $180, LG Voyager is $550, and the LG Prada is $360. The LG Dare’s price is about average the others and overall worth the money you spend. The most significant difference between the Dare and any of the others is that the Voyager has a flip maneuver that opens to a keyboard for easy texting.
With catchy slogans of “Dare You to Touch One,” or “Dare to be Different,” the LG Dare is a great phone, which good advertising tactics to make the public eye want to experience the great use of it. This phone is an innovative and feature-rich handset with several surprises that sets it apart from other touch-screen phones.

My Yearbook Website Review

My Yearbook, flirting, fun, and finding friends. That’s what My Yearbook is based around. It is a social networking site used to do many things. One being communicating with other people online, finding friends in a fun way, and possibly flirting with them. You can secretly admire others, and be matched with them and you can choose so or not to talk with them. Also, you have the chance to own friends photos which is another fun way to interact, because you bid on them and have to win against other users. Additionally, you can battle photos of other users, under certain categories. For example, best looking. More attractions include games, helping causes, forums, television episodes, gambling, and quizzes. Games are a fun time waster and My Yearbook has a great selection for anyone. Helping causes, my personal favorite, is all about earning money for actual causes. You can buy rice to end world hunger, fight global warming, save the rainforest, feed rescued animals, help purify water, help raise money for the study to cure cancer, fight the spread of AIDS, stop genocide, help the homeless, or event help prevent child abuse.

As well, you may choose your favorite television shows and they will alert you with new episodes, in which you can watch right there on My Yearbook! Furthermore, gambling is a big thing for My Yearbook, you can buy scratch cards with your fake money and test your luck to win more. Any user can make or take quizzes, in all categories. These are a huge attraction to even people not having My Yearbook accounts and are very easily accessed. My Yearbook is a great site to communicate with others, or to even just do stuff my yourself.
My Yearbook is a very easily navigable site. Everything is in an easy to use tool bar right on the homepage, and explained in step by step directions if they are needed. All the information is right there in front of you when you get to the site. Popularity of this site is huge world wide, mostly in the United States, but some spread worldly has occurred.
