NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

6 Feb 2010 BRITT

3 out of 10

Okay! So I purchased this piece of crap my freshman year. I am a junior now and my last year of school will be the year 2011. So the phone was good for about 6 mouths then my charger port was not holding the charge. So I took it to the sprint store only to find out my charger port was loose. So after I got that fixed my battery clunked out. Thank the lord for eBay because I got the new battery for a great price. I say about 5 mouths later my charger port was loose again. Not to mention the charger that is so weak it could easily break. I been through so many chargers its funny. What really pisses me of is sprint people will act like you did something to the phone. NEWSFLASH SPRINT you just sold me a piece of crap.Ugh NOBODY I MEAN NOBODY SHOULD GET THIS PHONE. And if your a picture person the camera on this phone sucks ass. My contract is soooo up now I am getting a new phone and as for you LG you will never see a Lg phone in my hand ever ever ever again I don't care how cute it is. DON'T GET THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros

Cons

Everything eles

THE SCOOP/RUMOR IS THE WORST PHONE ON THE MARKET.

The Scoop (Rumor) SUCKS. This is coming from someone who had to put up with the stupid POS for 2 whole years. I FINALLY traded it in for an enV3 and there is NO comparison. The Scoop (Rumor) is THE worst phone on the cellular phone market hands down. Problems current Scoop (Rumor) users can look forward to: No personalized ringtones, unless you’re willing to pay 4 dollars through the company + $10 download fee for a low-quality tone, charger port literally falling out of the phone after a while, screen freezing up and acting up, LED lights on the QWERTY keyboard burning out, phone randomly shutting down, entire text messages erasing when you attempt to delete one or two characters, battery pack loosening, and that’s ALL within the first year. My advice would be to RUN back to your provider and exchange or return the phone AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Also, the price for the scoop is $49.99 after a $40.00 mail in rebate. My enV3 was $39.99 after a $50.00 mail in rebate. Yes I realize the original price was the same but in the long run, NOT getting the Scoop (Rumor) is by far the best bet.

Pros

QWERTY keyboard, small

Cons

Everything else.

very durable, but too many problems.

Ok, I loved this phone- still do. If it wasn't haviing so many problems I would definitely keep it. It was overheating so bad that it burned my hand and then I got the battery replaced and that stopped. The battery life sucks after about a week of normal use. My backspace button is so used that if you just touch it on the keyboard it deletes the whole message, so I don't use the keyboard anymore. The keyboard also lags very badly. Now the final straw, it has started randomly turning off. I don't know if anyone has had this problem, I have had it a little over a year.

Pros

durability, camera, video camera, plays music nicely.

Cons

battery life after awhile, turns off randomly, backspace deletes whole message, keyboard lags
