No matter what your service provider, there's an iPhone lookalike for you. Verizon man, meet the LG Dare, which continues its manufacturer's tradition of wedding well designed phones to obnoxious nomenclature (not even your kid sister thought Chocolate was cute). What's in a name this time around? A decent camera, speedy download times, and fast (if frustratingly small) HTML browsing—all inside an attractive (if familiar) form. There's also a misguided attempt at employing handwriting recognition—unless your script looks a lot like ten-point Arial, it's probably not worth your time. Then again, after using the sluggish touchscreen, you might be desperate enough to give it a try.
