Worst Phone I've Ever Had In Years!!

20 Jun 2009 Anonymous

4.3 out of 10

I got the lg scoop from alltel in August of '08 and when i got it it was good. but when i broke the screen i could not see anything! they sent me a refurbished phone in the mail and it worked but a few months later the charger port is coming loose so everytime i take it off charge the battery dies in 5 min. then the QWERTY Keyboard sticks and sometimes i cant text my friens because i am a huge texter. the battery life is horrible on this phone.

Pros

Cons

Battery Life Sucks!
No Signal in Wooded Areas!
Bluetooth Drains Battery
Keyboard Sticks and Fades Away

The absolute worst phone i ever had

16 Jun 2009 Anonymous

4 out of 10

I am now on my 6th rumor in a year and 4rth charger to the phone because it doesnt fit the phone. The rumor just stopped working, screen went out, charger parts broke in the phone, letters faded off, battery life is just horrible, and the list could continue but i think anyone would get the idea. Sprint even told me this phone is horrible and gave me money towards an upgrade and i wasnt even suppose to get and upgrade yet because they were tired of replacing this phone for free. The techs couldnt fix anything so every new rumor they gave me had the same issues. Im finally getting a new phone and would advice those who are thinking of this phone, to just go for another phone all together unless u want to deal with problems all the time in the future. If you get this phone i would advice you to get insurance or you really gonna waist your money cuz sprint will not help you without it. And notate there is a rumor 2 out so obviously theres many issues with the first rumor. I wont be waisting a dime on anymore rumors!!!!!!

Pros

I got rid of the Rumor

Cons

Anything that could go wrong with a cell phone
