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.

after a month with the rumor, it does everything i want it to. Now that Sprint updated the web browser to google, the web is easy to access and is a reasonable substitute for a P.C.. All in all the rumor has good range with sprint's network and is a great phone for the money.

12. Worst Phone I've had

This is the worst phone I've owned so far. When I'm texting it will randomly freeze and not let me use any of the keys without restarting my phone. It doesn't send pictures half the time.. The camera is slow and not that great. Also, it's randomly restarted itself many times as well. I'm very unsatisfied. I feel like I wasted my money.

13. LG Rumor Review

I also just recently purchased the Rumor from US Cellular less than a month ago. My keyboard on the thing freezes at random though. Sometimes it will work again after powercycling.Other times I will have to completely take out the battery and restart the device. I took it back to US Cellular and the rep also told me about the software glitch. Too bad this is one of the only QWERTY keyboard phones they have that doesn't require Windows Mobile for 24.95 per month! Looks like I'm stuck with it. Hopefully they'll come out with new software soon!!!

I AGREE ABOUT THE RUMOR. I SENT MINE BACK. PLUS, IT DOESN'T DO WHAT THE SPRINT SALES PERSON TOLD ME IT WOULD DO OVER THE PHONE. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE RUMOR LG IS YOU'RE ABLE TO RESTRICT YOUR CALLS 2 "CONTACTS ONLY". YES, IT DOES SHUT OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS 2 AND AT THE WORST TIMES SO I FEEL YOU ALL ON THAT.

15. Great Phone

I have had this phone for about a week and I really like it. I do more texting than talking these days so I went with this phone because of the QWERTY sliding keyboard. One of the US cellular agents told me that there was something wrong with the software being slow, but so far I think she was lying because I find nothing slow about it. (I think she just wanted me to get a more expensive phone, which I later gave into, but came back about a few weeks later to get this one.)

This phone bites. The buttons wear off fast and its suppose to be a number one phone for texting?!? Come on... it also likes to freeze up and power off whenever. The sounds that get put off of it bites. I only like the picture ability and thats not worth the money I paid for it.

17. Buyer Beware

The phone has a unique design and has numerous positive attributes, however these are void when the phone freezes up and has to be exchanged 3 times within a 45 day period. I do strongly recommend that you get the insurance and the micro SD memory card so you do not lose your pictures, videos, and memo recordings each time you change phones. Did I mention it had to be exchanged 3 times in 45 days? The manual is vague and does not explain how the less obvious features work. Additionally, I personally lost 10 downloads of ring tones and two games that under our system could not be saved to the micro SD card. So in addition to the deductible cost, I lost money on various downloads. It is a great phone when it works; it just does not work long enough. I am awaiting my third phone.

18. Rumor..

I got this phone in November, week of Thanksgiving. So I got it right away. And I got the white one. It had loud voice&speakerphone, sent messages quickly. But was not a durable phone at all. It looks cool, but is one of the worst phones to get if you have problems with phones breaking. If you even drop this phone a few times, it will stop working. I have gone through 7 of them. So I finally gave up and decided to get a Samsung m300.

I turned in my slow moto krzr for this phone and paid the ful 279 and it was worth every penny.I text on average 7,000 a month and boy did this come in handy. the phone is small to handle which makes it easy to text even with one hand! you have two options to text. If you are a texter this is the phone to get. I revcently got the SPrint Instinct when it first came out and now i am getting rid of it!!!! I just bought me a new rumor online for full price and didnt bother me one bit for spending tht
