Is the Rumor phone any good?

Answer 1

I think so!  I love mine!  I went through this lady that's an I.R. for all major cellular phone carriers and land lines and everything else to do with communications, I got mine for $49 and she put me on an awesom plan.  Here's the info she sent me, before I purchased mine.  I'll be happy to share it with you.  Unfortunatly I couldn't copy the picture to it.  Sorry.

LG Rumor Black

The LG Rumor LX260 for Sprint is a great choice for those who do a lot of text, picture, video, or instant messaging. In a very small profile, the LG Rumor seems like a "normal" phone, until you slide out the hidden QWERTY keyboard - which lets you pound out the messages quickly and accurately. Inside, the LG Rumor offers broadband Web access, streaming TV and music, a music player, a 1.3 Megapixel camera/camcorder, and more! That's a lot of fun in this great little messaging phone!
