Sometime between now and the day it's posted 😁 inventory is still low on this phone (yes 11,000 is low (when you factor in the millions of customers)). Rumor has it, September-ish it will come out. But weigh your options...do you really need it? do you really need all the features? or do you just want it because it's cool? But hey...the Batphone's available!! OR! even better! you can get the pantech smartphone (remember that thing?) for less than $25!!!! 😁 🤣 😳 ...ok...sarcasm over. September-ish.

Damn, that's what I was afraid of. I'm holding on to my upgrade until I can get it. I want it mainly because of the camera and touch screen. The voyager is like the ugly, quasitarded step sister. The dare is just so....sexy. Maybe waiting isn't such a bad thing, considering the issues the voyager had when it first came out.

Why do you ask why I like it? Care to change my mind? (No sarcasm, genuinely interested.)

Because too many people just want the Dare because it's "sexy" as you said. That's the reason why the device initiation fee came about (sort of). "oo this phone is pretty and does so many things but i'll never use them...i want it!" Instead of "well, this phone isn't the most expensive available, still does the same things but in a different way and i'll use more of it's features...but i still want the other one." Why wait for the Dare if you're just gonna text and make calls? Every phone does that. So it has a touchscreen and a 3.2MP camera...WHOOPIE! Personally...I think the phone should ONLY be available to people who are on a Premium plan. Because then, you're selling it to people who are on a plan that will utilize the full fea...

Ahh. I see. I'm on a premium plan and need the use of the browser. The phone I have now (env) is the pits and has one of the worst browsers EVARrr. I came from a Tmobile Dash and was so disappointed with the env. I must have a qwerty because of all the texting and email. I just don't need all the features of a Blackberry but more features than what I have now. Plus the camera. 😉 I guess I'll wait til it's available for me, try it out and see how I like it.
