Thanks!
If you really like to text and don't like the enV, I would say don't go for the Dare. When they told my son he could replace his enV it was a choice between the Dare and the Env2 and he chose the EnV2 with the help of the sales girl @ the store. She said that she had the Dare and that it is hard to text with the touch screen.
If it were me I think I might wait another month or so if your phone is still OK because they will be coming out with more new phones. The Voyager was about $250 when I upgraded for my daughter and now it's down to about $150 I think. I'll bet they will be coming out with a new model just like they did with the enV. My husband still has not upgraded his and they keep sending better and better incentive offers to get him to upgrade his. Just a thought.....
