In-Depth Review

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.

Phone Is Good While It Works

Overall Rating:
2.5 out of 5

From: West Allis, WI (United States)
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).
