You're wrong there. I read your review because I'm having the same issue as that person was. I checked in my options, auto delete was already disabled. I know what he's talking about. If you hit back twice, sometimes it will delete two characters, sometimes the entire thing, then you have to start all over. It's very frustrating if you're in a rush and texting something complex. It shouldnt have to be that irritating. The only thing I've found to work is to power cycle the entire phone, which sucks because if you are getting a text, it wont show up after you power cycle, it takes forever to enter into your inbox :P Oh, and I read the manual, thanks for that tip. :P jackass. Try to power cycle, or even sometimes i find a quick but very temporary fix is to text using the normal keypad for a bit, then try switching back to the qwerty

Pretty Good

I have had my Rumor for almost a month now, and I greatly enjoy the phone.  The only complaint that I have had is that I'm going to have to purchase a memory card in order to use the internet the way I would like, but that is because I'm cheap and paid enough initially for the phone that I don't want to pay more to use the phone.  Outside of that, it's worked great, has done everything that I've needed it to.  Can I get a free memroy card for posting this! LOL

Pros

works great
dependable
nice design
love the screen

Cons

extra purchase for the memory chip

To the idiot, gizmoinva, that wrote:

"I too purchased the LG UX 260 through US Cellular. I got it because it was the only non-Blackberry inexpensive slider with a QWERTY keyboard. I do NOT recommend anyone buy this phone if they want to text efficiently. I complained the very next day after I got the phone about the text lag that occurs when you type a message. It will delete an entire message if you hit the backspace without warning. I took it back and US Cellular and they gave me a new one and the same thing happened with it. US Cellular told me they couldn't do anything else to help me after they swapped out my phone. I went on LG's website and submitted a help question to their tech support. Their tech support wanted me to send them my phone. This was after I told them about US Cellular swapping out my phone. I told them it would not help for me to send them my phone and me do without one for two weeks. I finally got to speak with a vice president of marketing or customer affairs from LG after I filed an official complaint. It took about a week for someone from LG's Alabama office to get him to call me. The LG VP didn't really care about what I had to say about this terrible phone. He told me that I would have to send in the phone in order for them to accurately determine the root cause as to why my phone was not working as desired. I proceeded to tell him about the hundreds of internet posts by other dissatisfied owners of this phone. He acted as if I didn't know what I was talking about.  SO, I ASK YOU, IF LG'S CORPORATE OFFICERS DON'T CARE ABOUT MY PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PHONE, DO YOU THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR CRAPPY PHONES?! NEVER EVER AGAIN WILL I OWN A PHONE WITH THE LG LOGO ON IT. IF LG'S LOGO MEANS LIFE IS GOOD, THAT IS BS!!!! PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THE PAIN I HAVE GONE THROUGH. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!"

 

There's an option that stop that in menu -> messaging -> settings -> auto-delete -> OFF. They probably didn't help you because they don't want to do business with people who don't have the sense to read a manual before returning a phone twice. Also... in the time that you wrote your lengthy complaint on a review site, you could have read the section in the menual that tells you how to do that. Your do-nothing-myself attitude poisons our economy. It's because of people like you that we pay such high premiums for customer support.

 

My review:

The phone functions great. It is, contrary to what the idiot above me wrote, a fine texting phone. Nothing special should be expected because nothing special is delivered. All the reviews are as simple as that. It's a QWERTY phone, as the specs state, and I've had no problems with it so far. I actually enjoy the auto delete and the typing functions that the phone has to help you. The only negative thing I can think of is how bulky the phone is. I suppose if it was any thinner/lighter it'd be less durable though and the rumor's durability, so far, has been spectacular. I've dropped this phone in water, dropped this phone on concrete, dropped this phone while running on a dirt track, dropped the phone while making a jumpshot, and I've been keeping it in my overstuffed backpack in the compartment that holds my pencils and pens. The phone has a higher durability than I expected. (I have to admit that I've been rather reckless with the phone the first month because it was covered by a warranty, but now I actually have to watch out for it...) Anyways, as I previously stated, don't expect a lot because it won't deliver a lot. The phone advertises it's ability to text and that's exactly what you'll get. Other functions are frivolous, non-essential, superfluous. Any reviews on them will only reveal that they are pale or rival other phones. Seldom will you find a review that priases any function other than it's ability to text. The design, which isn't a feature, is also deserving of praise. I like the sleek design. I could go on to describe, in flowery girl chat, it's design, but I have better things to do. In any case, pictures are better at explaining than I am. Also note that the textures differ with varying colors. Black has a leathery/rubbery feel to it. Green and white are plasticy and the rest of the colors I do not know.

 

Side Note: My friend claims that the keypad in front is hard to text with. I wouldn't be able to back that claim up though because I use the QWERTY keypad.

Pros

-Texting
-Durable
-*Does the job*

Cons

-Sorry A-fanboys, no touch screen.
-No features worth mentioning.(A con? It doesn't advertise it's features..)
-gizmoinva will think you're an idiot for buying the phone when in reality he's an idiot for expecting customer service to read sections from the manual to him.
