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.

this phone is amazing for texting and it is small, but other than that it does not have a good camera and does not have other good features. I text a lot so i think it is really good, defenitely a good choice for a sprint customer

What a pile of JUNK. This phone has to be worst phone that Sprint currently offers. If the screen doesn't go fuzzy and freak out, the inside keypad will go out and/or the ribbon cable will start messing up, then nothing works. The overall design of the phone is cool and user friendly, but the problems that come with it make me say OH NO!
Save the headache and buy the Samsung M520 or the Katana LX for around the same price. If your heart is set on this phone then PLEASE purchase the insurance, you will need it. Expect to take it in for a few doctor visits to the Sprint tech bench for fresh parts and/or maybe a replacement.

Ok, This phone is a nice phone, good for texting. It's a great value for money, but on Sprint, so that dropped it a point. Honestly, though, I think I amjust going to get better service and go to Verizon for the kick-ass enV2.

I love this phone and the full keypad but,i have to warn all of you,i am on my 6th one of these.I have had more problems with his phone than any other phone.I had an LG flip phone awhile ago and it had problems as well.LG is not a good brand.All of the rumor scoops that i have gone through have had the same problems,randomly shutting off and once a day not allowing me to text so i have to shut the phone off and back on.I have contacted LG and they said it is a software problem,i love this phone and am not willing to give it up so i am hoping for another software update to come out soon.

Best phone on Sprint...until the Instinct comes out. (O, and maybe with the exception of teh Razr2 V9m). It is easy to text on, and great to use. The only downside is that it is on Sprint. It overall is great though.

This is geared towards the comment of the person having trouble texting while driving due to the font size. You are obviously stupid.
