LG Rumor White

User rating 2.5   Read reviews - Add review
The LG Rumor is an affordable slider style phone with a full QWERTY keyboard designed for those individuals who need to stay in touch on the go. Key features include a 1.3 megapixel camera with 2x zoom, Bluetooth, MP3 player and an expandable memory card slot with up to 4GB of storage capacity.
LG Rumor blackWhat’s Good: Compact, rugged design with full QWERTY keyboard; Easy to use; Auto-rotating display; Good SMS, IM, and Email integration

What’s Not Good: Limited functionality beyond voice calling and messaging; No Power Vision access makes for slow Web browsing; Reports of laggy software and keyboard issues (I encountered none); Weak camera

Bottom Line: Rumor is a basic candy bar phone with a focus on messaging, and in this regard it really shone in my tests.  I found the handset easy and fun to use so long as I kept to its strengths: Messaging and more messaging with voice calling and limited Web  and media functionality thrown in.  Rumor’s comfy QWERTY board, rugged design and soft-grip finish, and auto-rotating display make it a solid choice for cell phone users who value texting as much (or more) as voice calling.

not a good phone

Overall Rating:

Pros: It has a nice keyboard that is spaced just right.

Cons: the phone is just a bad one.
bluetooth on any of the four i have had hasnit worked. it wont call people when i tell it too.

Summary: if you drop the phone 1 foot onto the ground it wont work anymore. that is the reason i am looking for a phone now-only the outside keypad works. i have gone through 4 of these and its just not worth the time it has spent in repair. my screen also just went black and also it went to different colors one time. i really like LG product but this one just isnt worth it.

Summary: I've had the rumor for about 7 months now, and half the time its been in repair! it breaks in the weirdest ways. I'm on my 4th rumor because they have to keep sending me new ones.
dont even think about putting it in your back pocket and sitting on it, the screen will crack!

About my second month of having the phone the screen just went black! They dont even know what happened, but everytime i go to get it fixed, all the other people there have the rumor and are waiting to get theirs fixed too!

i'm actually looking for a new phone right now, i just need to get rid of this phone! its ridiculous. i was recently told LG told my carrier that its one of the worst phones they've made. and i 100% agree!

Its awesome man u should have it

Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Nice keyboard

Cons: Display conks out. LG doesn't stand behind it.

Summary: On Vacation I turned the phone off while attending a movie, after the movie I turned it back on and only got a white screen. Returned to LG for warranty repair but they would not honor the warranty. When visiting Cell service provider customer immediately in front of me also had the same problem (white screen).
