Verizon Wireless isn't kidding around with this new Dare phone from LG: it'll hit Verizon's online shop tomorrow (the 26th) for $200 with a $50 rebate, and then land in retail on July 3rd. We've had little time to get accustomed to its touchscreen mug, unlike Sprint's long run-up to the Instinct, but Verizon and LG have certainly done their homework. There's a whole lot to chew on here, so we're going to drop it on you bullet point style:

- Proximity sensor for switching off the LCD when against your face
- Light sensor to adjust LCD brightness automatically
- Accelerometer

Software:

- Cover Flow-alike music app
- 51 possible apps, 11 app "drag & drop" shortcut menu

Phew, these guys really packed it in. Stand by for our hands-on impressions.
