this phone is amazing. i havent had any problems with it. if you treat it with tlc like i did, it will work phenominal like mine does. the screen is tight, buttons work fine, if you dont beat on it, i will work just fine.

this phone was pretty good and lasted me for about 6 months max and then it wouldnt charge. it blacks out constantly and little white boxes appear on my text messages. i have replaced it twice already. this slide-out keyboard is loose and doesnt work very well. the keys are hard to press now and texts hardly ever send due to glitches. i definitely would not buy another one. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

a lot of people posting reviews for the rumor seem to have had difficulty with it, and im sure people now will go more for the rumor2 but i'll add my two cents anyway. =] i got my rumor on april 7, 2008. so i've had it for almost a year now. and i absolutley love it! the only problems i have with it is when it automatically connects itself to the internet, and it's slow going through pictures. the camera is shit in the dark, but in the right lighting it's marvelous. i seldom use my keyboard, so i haven't experienced any trouble with the cable thing. i've been checking into the rumor2 to see how it compares.. that's how amazing lg rumors are. =D

Save your money and wait for the Rumor 2 to hit stores. According to LG they fixed the ribbon cable problem, but I am not to sure about the software issues. When it comes to this phone it is the biggest piece of crap that Sprint has to offer. If you phone starts having white, reverse or crazy images on the screen then take it into your local Sprint store that offers service and repair. The ribbon cable is the most common problem with this phone. Don't slide the phone open or closed unless you are going to use the inside keypad. Some people get a nervous tick and slide it open and closed. This wears out the ribbon cable in just a short period of time. Then you hae to visit Sprint service and repair to get it replaced. Also make sure your software ends in 09. If it ends in 06 then update your phone or take it in to have it done. Be careful how much pressure you put on the outside screen because it can crack pretty easy with just a little pressure. Buy a good case for it. The charging port is also a weak spot on this phone. Take care not to shove the charger in to hard because you will break the charging port on this phone. And always have insurance on the phone, because you will have to get it replaced at least a few times during your 2 yr agreement. I recommend either the Samsung Rant or the LG Lotus. Yes I said the Lotus. It is an LG product but I have not seen very many problems with the phone since it has come onto the market. Plus it is a flip phone so you have less chance of wearing out a ribbon cable. Coming to a conclusion, just don't buy the phone. It is cheap with a full keyboard but get the insurance you will need it. The seven dollars a month Sprint charges to warranty this piece of crap is well worth the investment.
Wow One of Sprints first full qwerty keyboard phone.Crap, Crap, Crap.
Don't buy it you will regret it.

36. Terrible Phone

I have had this phone for 7 months and I am surprised it has lasted ths long. It is cracked open nearly all the way. It freezes up and turns itself off while I am texting. It has been an okay phone, but I do not recommend it to anyone wanting to upgrade. I never use the keyboard because it does not keep up with what I am typing. Although, the numeric keypad works great.
Good Numeric Keypad.
Bluetooth works well.Freezes up
Turns off randomly
Slow Keyboard
Not very durable

I dont recommend this phone. Ive had mine less than a year and its already crappen out. The screen blinks and it won't charge anymore. The celltop reboots its self like once a day, its stupid. Ill be typing a text on the keyboard then look at it, and about half of what i typed isnt there..the keyboard SUCKS! Also my sister has the same phone, and they gave her a new one in the mail, and it wouldnt activate when she called..I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PHONE..cheap peice of junk

i loved this phone... until it started spazzin out on me. i could stand the keyboard lag and it occasionally turning off...but when the screen got a ziggy (yes thats a technical term) i cant stand it. i cant see whos calling me. i cant see any of my contact info. i can barely read txts. its ridiculous. unless you are going to be ridiculously careful, dont get the phone.
cute and fun to play with... until it breaks.
the keyboard is nicely spaced.not durable at all.

I currently have the White version of this phone from Virgin Mobile. Me, my boyfriend, my bestfriend, my cousin, my sister, my professer, my boss, and several people from school are all proud owners of this phone. The keyboard works excellent. Although the camera quality is not great, it really isn't noticeable by someone who is not a frequent picture taker. It is the best phone I have ever had. It has never frozen, lagged, white out, shut off, cut off calls, and the keyboard ALWAYS works. Myself, and the roughly twenty people I know that have this phone love it and I have never heard a complaint. I've dropped this phone about twice now from high distances and there isn't a single mark on the phone. Take good care of your phone, and it will work fine.
everything except...the buttons are noisy when you push them (not good for sneaking texts in a quiet class!)
