1. Im going to be added to a Verizon family plan next week and I need to get a new phone. You can get the LG dare for $129 and the BB Storm for $199 with a new 2 yr contract. When I get added to the family plan, does that count as a new contract or no? How do phone promotions work with a family plan? 2. Which phone would you get between the two? I really want to have email at my finger tips and I like the applications that the BB has but Im not that familiar with them or how the data plan factors into the contract price. Is the BB worth the extra $$ over a non BB phone? For those of you who have a BB with Verizon, whats your cost/month? I like the LG Dare because of its small size and and Im very familiar with LG and their products. I havent had any major problems with my LG phones in the past but I realize that this is the 1st touchscreen phone that LG has made so Im not 100% sure on the quality. How could I access my email on the LG? Price to do that? Any helpful feedback would be appreciated. ---

voyager is the first touch screen phone sir. but the dare is NICE i like it. but i have the voyager because i dont like the fact that everything is ALL touch screen, specially when i was working at the time. the BB storm i didnt really like. touch screen seemed slower than normal touch screen phones. with BB storm you need the data package to use it to its full use. i think its an extra 35 a month on for the unlimited data pk. im not sure on the family plan stuff, i am on my own. I would say get the dare. ---

With the Dare, how can you access your email? Cost to do so? ---

My next phone will be a BB. I currently have the dare, and i DO like it, but i’ve played with a few BB’s and yea, they are way better. I did recently …acquire free nav and email though on my dare. The gps nav is actually very good, i use it all the time when going places. The email is ok. ---

Is the dare not a PDA phone? If that’s the case then the first decision you need to make is PDA or not. PM evolve about getting a BB without a data plan. No, just kidding. You have to have a data plan with a BB. It’s $29.99/month. ---

check out the samsung omina as well. its comparable with the dare, but has way more features. FM radio, 5.0 mp camera, full touch screen w/ stylus and a mouse, also has wifi too, but doesnt really matter because of the unlimited data plan. it requires the $30 data plan though. I have it and i think its an awesome phone so far. ---

> [@gpkid16](#): > > Is that really possible? No. It’s a running joke because he got sick of people asking him if they could get a BB without a data plan. You have to have a data plan with a Blackberry. But their unlimited data plans are only $29.99/month. Some PDA’s are like that, but mine is $45/month and I got sick of paying that much so now I just have data blocked. ---
