When the mobile world meets the fashion world, an event like this one takes place. LG Canada partnered up with Carlie Wong to launch three new phones at the L’Oreal Fashion Week show. Did you happen to see any of this fashion show?

Carlie Wong said:

My Spring/Summer 2009 collection is all about bringing quality construction, attention to detail and luxurious pieces to the fashion world, which is exactly what LG is bringing to technology.I want the women who wear my clothes to feel feminine, yet empowered and unstoppable. She’s the Glamorous Gangster and an LG cell phone is her hottest accessory.

The three phones aren’t exactly new. They are the LG Dare, the LG Reveal and the LG Voyager but they are coming to Canada too. The phones will be available from Bell and Telus in the following months so check back with the carriers for pricing and arrival dates.

Verizon Wireless has three new applications and a new site ready. The applications will interact with the voice recording feature on various phones and they will allow subscribers to create new content. The content will be available on the phone itself and it could be shared with other Verizon subscribers. (more…)

LG Dare we like. And by we I mean me of course. It’s slick, looks good in the pictures and even better on paper. Would I want one to play with? Most definitely. Would I cheat on the new iPhone with it? Yes I would now, and I’d brag about it. After all the iPhone didn’t deliver everything we wanted right?

So here’s what we found out about the LG VX9700 Dare:

• it will support EVDO Rev. A data
• it will have a light sensor
• it will have a proximity sensor for shutting off the LCD while talking
• it will have an accelerometer
• it will have feature VGA video recording,
• there’s an HTML browser,
• there’s handwriting recognition,
• there’s multitasking support,
• it will have Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo audio support,
• it will have GPS support through VZ Navigator,
• there’smicroUSB port, microSDHC expansion slot and speakerphone.

The Dare is coming from Verizon Wireless. Guess when it’s rumored to be retail ready? July 11th! I have a feeling someting else is going on that day…

Along with the LG Dare, there are two more devices that complete Verizon’s LG lineup for this summer, the LG Decoy and Chocolate 3. Both of these bring VCAST Music&Video and VZ Navigator support to Verizon customers, but differ in many other features that they have to offer. You already know of Dare’s headset-hiding ability and the five-way joystick the slider has to offer. The LG Chocolate 3, on the other hand, seems to be music oriented with a FM transmitter, media player, 1GB of internal memory, and microSD support for up to 8GB, all packed in a slim clamshell form factor. Clearly, an option for those with a penchant for style and a good music sense.

The LG Chocolate 3 will become available in July on Verizon, while the Decoy will make an appearance much earlier on June 16th.

Since touch is the flavor going around now, let me first tell you about the Dare touchscreen phone before moving on to two other LG cell phones that have made their way into Verizon’s lineup this summer. At the risk of being called an iPhone clone, or worse, an iPhone killer, the LG Dare features the revamped user touchscreen interface and an above-average 3.2-megapixel camera with a bevy of image-enhancing tools. The Dare is also capable of supporting Verizon’s VCast Music&Video and VZ Navigator, which being ready for some 3G action. Not an iPhone killer for sure but not too threadbare for an LG product either. Nevertheless, if you Dare to ward off the iPhone 3G’s charm, you can pick this baby up when it becomes available later this month.
