"Pretty cool ..."
Pros: Phone is actually brown, not black like every other phone.
Not heavy, but sturdy in your hand.
Very responsive touch screen, slightly better than the Dare.
Texting is amazing.
Switching from vertical to horizontal view seemed quicker than Dare.Cons: Camera is just so-so.
Summary: I upgraded to the BlackBerry Curve 8330 originally, but hated it! So, I took it back and got the Versa. So far I love it. I had the LG Venus before, so I am somewhat used to the 'touch.' It is prone to lots of finger smudges, but what phone isn't. Sound quality is great! I haven't experienced any static-like sounds, like mentioned in the CNet review, so far.
Web browser is better than most, but still not that great.
Doesn't support the Mobile Banking app (for Regions Bank) yet
I was up in the air between the LG Dare and the Versa. But after playing with both in the store, I picked the Versa. Here is why: On the main menu, you can turn the phone horizontally and the menu turns too. The Dare does not do this on the main menu screen. The texting menus looked identical on the Dare and Versa, but the actual size of the keypad and qwerty keyboard was a bit smaller on the Versa (the actual letters and numbers) - I'm a girl with small hands and liked this; a guy with large fingers may like the Dare better. The shortcut menu icon on the home screen is in a different location on the Versa than the Dare. While holding the Dare in one hand (right) it was easier to accidentially hit this icon, being it was right at thumb level. The Versa's is positioned better. The attachable qwerty keyboard was NOT a selling point for me, but after actually using it, it's growing on me. The responsiveness just seemed to be better on the Versa than the Dare. The only real downside to the Versa is the camera. It's a great camera, but the Dare's is better.
Overall, this phone is awesome and has some really 'fun' features. And anyone interested in this phone should NOT be turned off by the attachable keyboard. It does completely detach and does NOT have to be added. It does come with an added mini stylus, too. This helps sometimes while web browsing.
