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.

I've had this phone for a few weeks, and it's amazing. i have unlimited texting, so this phone is perfect for me. the camera is fine, considering the rumor is a phone and not a camera. i don't use the internet broswer on it, so i can't comment on that. the texting is good, i just keep forgetting i can't hold the back button down, 'cos it deletes everything. all in all, this is a fabulous phone, and i really do recommend it.
keyboard, camera, texting is easy, the vibrations are strong (that sounds so dirty), and the battery life is great.

i've had my orange LG scoop since april. i paid 50:00 for it through alltel. i loved this phone and when i first got it people said it looked a felt cheap, and i didn't believe them. well they were right, i'm working on my 3rd LG scoop. due to software problems, it shuts off randomly it's a horrible phone definitly not worth the money people are spending on them, go with another company and get the EnV2 much much better purchase.

This is a cool phone with the texting and the music player. i got two for 50 dollars and think that both phones were worth the 50 bucks

everyone wants to gripe because the phone has only a decent camera. Remember it is a phone not a digital camera. They also want to gripe about the internet speed. Remember it is a phone not a computer. I think it is a good phone. The keyboard is easy access to easy texting. I always have a strong signal and the battery life is awesome. If you are thinking about buying a phone to make calls and send texts then this is a bang for the buck. If you are looking for optimum speed online and 10 megapixel pictures then buy a computer and a digital camera. Overall 7/10...

I have had the rumor for a few months now and have had to have two replacements. I am not hard on cell phones so i dont understand why they keep messing up on me. My phone will randomly connect to the internet which is quite annoying and then somethimes it will shut itself off! This gets very bothersome. I am quite dissapointed with this phone and am upgrading to the Instinct!!!

well, i got the Scoop/Rumor a little over two months ago and it hasn't crapped out on me,lol...the only thing i don't like is when i'm texting if i havn't texted for a long while it takes forever to type a text cause the letters wont register and if you hold the back button too long it deletes the whole thing,lol
other than that its a good phone,love that i can put a video as my wallpaper

8. A good phone... at first.

At first I thought this was a great choice for a phone, but after about a month and a half, things got wacky. My screen started going crazy, turning black, white, or streaked with colors. The phone would shut off randomly, and texting got difficult because hitting the backspace button once would often result in deleting my whole message. Just a week from when these things started happening, the phone stopped trying altogether, and i was left with a white screen when the phone is on. I'd think it was just a bad individual phone, but my sister, and two of my friends have the same phone. They are also having the same troubles like I discribed above.
Many of the others' reviews are from people who just got the phone a few days or a week ago, and if i would have read them when i first got the phone, i'd agree wholeheartedly with their great reviews. Now, I can tell you from just a month or so's experience, this phone isn't worth the headaches it will cause.
