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.

Good

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!

173. the rumor

i got mine a couple of days ago and its pretty much great! it fits all my needs. i think its really good that Sprint finally came out with a phone that has a qwerty keypad and isnt a smart phone. many people bought palms and pocket pc's just for the fact that it had a full keypad for better texting. the only thing i dont really like is the camera..but it works for what i need it for and that it doesnt have the sprint music store. other than that..the phone is amazing.

175. had mine for 2 days

Neat phone, looks highspeed. feels nice. camera isnt the greatest.. but it will do. all the phone features are great. but the extra features.... media player ect.. are lacking support. the phone didnt come with a USB cable, and Sprint doesnt carry them yet, (so im told by the sales rep). It will play most music... but some it wont even see, must be a format problem or something. I still havent got it to play a single video, (music video). Sprint needs to get on track here and offer some support. Not able to use all the Extras my phone plan has on it yet.. any ideas, or tips on how to get things straightend out?

176. LG Rumor Phone

6 Nov 2007 by Captain Rebecca

80%8out of 10

The camera is not the greatest and it does not have a flash.

The ringers are not as loud as I would like them so I am having to get loud obnoxious ringers to ensure I hear the phone.

Many applications are not compatible with this phone at this time so I am annoyed I cannot use applications I became dependent on with my old phone. I miss not having an up to the minute weather application.

The keyboard is awesome, and I really love it. The buttons are spaced far enough apart. The awesome keyboard makes up for the other features the phone lacks. The phone comes with a lock/unlock feature to prevent you from dialing accidentally if bumped...[BACK] key.

Just select loud ringtones and be patient for applications to be compatible with this phone. The phone rocks!

177. Great Phone!

I traded in my UpStage for this phone, and I love it! I didnt like the UpStage very much though. The only thing I dont love about the Rumor is the camera. The quality is not very good for a 1.3m camera. Other than that, I love the qwerty pad, all the buttons are in the perfect place, easy to use, Very smart looking phone. LG keeps putting out great products, and this is definitley one of their very best!

Phone look and feels good, need about 30 good days for a good test drive. But so far it very good phone, aspecially for texting i don't have to press the button 2 tmes or 3 to get a letter i need, just type away on the slideout keyboard.

180. Great Phone

This is a really great phone. It has every feature I could ask for, the only thing that it is lacking is a larger display. the display is average, but im upgrading from an a900 samsung, so im use to a huge display. But besides that, and a little menu lag, which is normal for phones these days, its a great phone, aspecially for texting.
