I want to kill this phone!

Yesterday Scott Brewer

4.3 out of 10

I bought the Rumor when it first came out and Life was Good. The phone looks cool and the qwerty keyboard is sweet. My friends all fell in love with it too and got their own Rumors. Then the problems started. The phone freezes up and/or just shuts off for no reason at all. Checking email, reading/writing text messages and simply checking the time are all too much for this phone to handle. My friends all have the same problems. LG sent me a replacement and the new phone started doing the same thing within 24 hours of activation. The new one is actually worse then the first phone! Firmware updates, cleaning the battery contacts and frequently turning the phone off then on again have not solved the problems...this is just a poorly build phone.

Pros

Qwerty Keyboard

Cons

The phone can not successfully operate without freezing up and shutting down for no reason.

I've had this phone for three monthes. I'm a teen and i text constantly. I have heard and seen the other reviews for this phone, and i think everyone is being too harsh. I have had NO troubles with this phone, and i have even dropped it three times on tile, and it works perfectly. Of course the internet costs money, that's not the phone, that's the company you have. If you charge it for five hours, it usually lasts me more than half the day.it's very easy for texting, with the QWERTY keyboard too. ALthough, i was disapointed with the camera quality, i got over it. This phone is great(if u treat it well). And it seems to be pretty reliable.

Pros

quick for texting
reliable
turns on easily

Cons

camera is a little blurry
doesn't have a very large memory without memory card

I have this phone on US Cellular and it constantly freezes, the keypad will freeze up and stop working and you'll have to restart the phone about every hour. THIS IS ONLY ON US CELLULAR, I've spoken with other people I know who have this phone on US Cellular and they have this problem, if you're going to get it get it with sprint or verizon.
