Yesterday LG Electronics announced the availability of their new phone titled “Rumor” for Sprint customers. The LG Rumor sports a full QWERTY keyboard, email access, and instant messaging services (AIM, MSN, & Yahoo!). The phone also boasts access to social news websites such as Facebook. The unit is available in white with silver or black with blue.
“We are excited to introduce Rumor by LG because it is great-looking, easy-to-use and very affordable,” said Danny Bowman, Sprint VP of Product Development
The LG Rumor will also support Sprint’s new messaging services which allows sending texts to landlines phones. (recipient hears the text in audio) Other neat features include a built-in fully functioning GPS navigation system with on screen turn-by-turn directions. As for now standard features it includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD (4GB), MP3 player, and access to Sprint’s music store.
The Rumor by LG will be available later this month for $79.99 after a 2-year-contract and a $50 mail-in rebate. It’s going to be interesting to see how this stands up to LG’s enV which we reviewed last year. LG is also releasing an iPhone competitor, the Voyager, which is being launched on Verizon’s network and will be easily over double the price of the Rumor. We’ll try to get a hold of one of these so check back!

Hey whatz up I just got the white one and I love it. This is the most awsomest phone i have had yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had this phone and have had many problems.. I would not recommend. I have insurance on it, and I have had 4 replacements and they all have huge problems. All have turned off and on random times during the day, eventually it just wont turn on. Keys dont work, slider doesn’t work. It’s just not a very good phone. I am very dissapointed I paid the full price for this phone with all the problems it has. For the last 2 months i’ve been using my Fusic while i wait until April when I can get a new phone! Horrible phone quality and repairs.
does anyone know how much this phone cost’s… as of april 2009… if i could get an answer back that would be greatly appreciated<3

It has all the qualities you need; bluetooth, camera, video, MP3 player, key board, internet, calling, and texting for just a low price of $39.99 at best buy, but $49.99 at your local phone places like metro PCS and others. so what are you waiting for get the rumor by LG, i am!

I am getting the LG Rumor with a prepaid plan with iwireless which is a Kroger connection. Go to iwirelesshome.com to check it out. I pay $40.00 a month and I get 200 anytime minutes, free nights and weekends, and free texting. Check it out if you don’t want to go with Sprint.

this cell is a wonderful cell. i abosolutly love it with a passion it has every you want. i have a question though how do you delete recipets address because whenever i text it save in the recipets address list and when i delete it it is still there but i don’t want it there. DOES SOMEONE KNOW HOW TO DELETE OR TAKE IT OFF i now it holds 25 i just got the phone and im trying to get 3 address of like the numbers and names
Do they still sell it? In July of 2010
Just wondering do they still sell this phone in Ottawa ?
bought this phone over a year ago and love it, the first one i had i did break in a week( fell down a flight of steps) but Bell was more then generous with the warenty and replaced it no questions asked. super easy to use, great functionallity as all i do is text. and as my warenty period is up i decide to customize the phone and foudn it very easy to disassemble , a little trickier to re-assemble. overall a top notch phone for the price at the time $100 on paygo + a $30 act. credit
