LG Rumor Review
Sprint
For what it is, the LG Rumor can’t be beat. It is a small, cheap device that will play well to the teenage crowd. Integrated AIM, Facebook and a QWERTY keypad will play to this always-connected demographic, and we like that LG and Sprint are addressing this growing market that is catered to mostly by MVNO’s. While we liked many things about the Rumor, it would be nice to see a few more high-end features such as high speed data and a better camera. For the teen looking to stay connected the Rumor is the device for them, but we feel most users will want a device that is a bit more mature.

I just got the phone yesterday and I already love it. Any of you guys out there who are looking for a phone this is the one. The design is just fabulous, I love the features on it you can do so many things with it like internet access and you can get on facebook. It also has a camcorder for recording things On the phone it has a lot more features. Personally, my favorite thing is the slide out key pad. I love to text and with those other phones, you won't be able to text as fast as you would like to. I'm telling you this phone is so great, and if you liked this reveiw you will like the phone.

I work for sprint customer care and it takes a half hour because people call in and spend an hour on the phone with us because they are bored and have no one else to talk to.. and to answer your question you do need a $15 vision plan to access the messanger.. and if you do not have one it is .3 cents per kb.. and the rumor is an awesome phone however does not have power vision so does not support power vision features which kind of sucks! but for those of you who love to text it would be the perfect phone!

I have had lots of different types of cellphones, from the Razr to the infamous Treo and many many more... but for good reasons I absolutely love the Rumor. I just recently signed up with sprint and got the Rumor. and it gives me a phone for what a phone is needed for. I text a whole lot so its perfect. I can send out mulitple messages in far less time than on a regular texting keypad. Anyways if your sick of your expensive phone not bringing keeping up with its looks... then switch. its worth it.. did I mention the easy access music player!!!

164. Question

I'm not in the mood to call Sprints customer service (takes half an hour to talk to an actual person) I was wondering, do you need the web to access the instant messengers like yahoo and aim? If you don't need the web, is there an access fee? If you do need the web, how much is it and is there still an access fee...thanks!

165. Why its crappy

I think it sucked because I would be looking on internet and it would not show the images on the site the only site that was good for it was facebook because its already installed, then also because i would be texting next thing you know it restarts itself, thats stupid. One more bad thing is when you load aim it only shows 30 people off your buddy list when i have 120 that should be showing. But besides that its o.k but i switched just yesterday from Rumor to Centro that is the best one i think.. Justin

166. amazing phone!!!

this phone is probly the best phone i have ever had! it has not died on me once considering i text a whole lot and use the instant msgr. speaking of texting, i absolutly love the keyboard! it comes in handy! i dont have to keep presing buttons and screwing up my t9 word stuff or anything. all i have to do is type like im doing right now on this keyboard. it makes texting a whole lot easier! it does take a little while, maybe a day or 2, to get used to the keyboard. but youll eventually get it. i got used to it on the 1st day! you have to hold it like you would a psp in order to use the keyboard, that also makes the screen wider, but shorter. that comes in great use for pictures or video. the internet is the fastest ive ever had on a phone. it has always been able to stay on the internet and hasnt failed once on me yet. it always connects. with my old phone, the lg lx 570, the internet would hardly ever half work for me and if it didnt connect at all, id have to turn my phone off and then turn it back on again which was a hastle. i have not had any problems with it yet. it is a very impressive phone. but i do think the camera could have been 2 megapixels instead of 1.3. but whatever, its still a great phone. whoever gets this phone is going to love it just as i have if their a heavy texter like me =D have a great day everyone!!! =D

167. Excelent

This Phone does exactly what it was designed to do and does it very very well. For 50 bucks how can you go wrong. the texting feature is simply put: out of this world. the only problem i have with this phone is that when it comes time for a new one i'll need to find another QWERTY keyboard Phone.
The time it takes from the off position to being able to make a phone call is approximately 18 seconds, pretty fast. it gets a signal everywehere i can make and receive TXT's and phone calls even with 1 bar and the sound is still very very good.
If u want EVDO go somewhere else if u want a phone that makes phone calls and SMS. u can do no better then this phone at this time.
Besides its kind of like the girl in gigh school who is "plain jane", take off her glasses and put on some heels and a mini skirt and she breaks free. this phone looks ho hum but then break out the key board and it blows peoples minds.
I get Compliments at work all the time about how cool it is. and when its in phone mode it attracts no attention at all.
If your even THINKING of buying this phone: DO SO

When I first heard of this phone I didn't think that it would be all that great I was completly WRONG! I was amazed at the performance that the phone gave me. With its wonderful texting capabilities(thanks to the qwerty pad) and neat style, I fell in love! All I have to say against this phone is that the camera COULD be better...but nothing is perfect, right?

I am really disappointed with the LG rumor, it doesnt fit my life style-which best buy didnt tell me when purchasing the phone, firstly the camera SUCKS I have taken better pictures with a 5 yr old nokia! 2ndly the internet is SLOW This phone was disappointing for my lifestyle, HOWEVER if you're looking for a phone just to text and make calls on, it's a cute phone!
