So after playing around with my phone I quickly wanted to change the desktop background.  I tried taking a picture of what I wanted from a computer and that has worked well for me in the past.  But because the resolution on this phone’s camera is 3.2 megapixels the pictures didn’t quite come out right.

So I went to search handy dandy Google website and looked up what screen resolution I needed to have the picture set to in order to not distort it on the screen.  While I was search I found something even better.  The directions on the website say you need a picture with the resolution of 240X400 for no distortion.  Then the forum goes on for currently 78 pages and has a ton of pictures both animated and still that you can download, copy to the SD Mini card, and put on your phone as the background.  There are some really cool ones and I took a bunch expecting that I will probably rotate images a lot.

I just recently bought the new LG Dare phone.  With my new job I was not able to check email or be on IM so I decided that would be the deciding factor between getting this or a regular phone. 

I read a bunch of reviews about the phone because Laura was the first to bring it up.  They are referring to it as the iClone.  While its not quiet the iPhone, and the browser leaves a little to be desired and doesn’t support JavaScript it certainly gets the job done.  I picked up a 4GB SD Mini card at Microcenter and plugged it in for a little extra capacity.  Also the benefit of doing this is I can load content easily to the phone by taking out the SD card and putting it into a laptop and loading information then putting it back on the camera. A really nice thing about this phone is it has a 3.2 Megapixel camera which is super nice.  It has a virtual QWERTY keyboard which is super easy to use and I like it better than the iTouch keyboard.  It has a little forced feedback as you press the keys.  The only issues I seem to have with this phone are when I try to scroll a webpage or list it seems to have a few issues, but I am sure that is more user error than anything. 

I have high expectations for the phone as LG hasn’t let me down to date as this is my 3rd LG phone.  Form factor is great and phone is easy to hold
