I know I shouldn't want this phone, but for some reason I do. So far touchscreens have been nothing but trouble, for me. The thought of being stuck with a touchscreen only device doesn't sit too well with me. However, that camera may be enough to sway me.
Does anyone know what type of touchscreen this thing has? Is it going to be a Voyager, minus the keyboard? Or, are they stepping it up with this one?

The bump is the microUSB I believe (at least that's what it looks like to me.)
This phone does have pressure touch, like the Voyager, however, according to edithejedi, it is miles better than the pushscreen the Voyager has.

The pressure touch can be turned on and off, no?
I'm looking forward to more and more pictures and videos so we can see what it can really do. It BETTER hit store shelves soon in nyc!

Nono. Pressure touch is the technology used. iPhone is capacitive touch (electricity in your finger). Most others are pressure/resistive (same thing) which can work using a stylus. You are thinking of the vibrate feature, which can be turned on and off.

Sorry for being a bit off topic, but how in hell haven't you played with an iPhone. Wtf? I am going to PM you.
Back on track, if anyone does get their hands on the Dare again, please try to get a video of the menu system, browser, and music player. Pictures are fine as well. Thanks.
