LG Rumor2 (Sprint)

By (cnet.com)

The LG Rumor2 has an easy-to-use design with a vibrant display and a spacious keyboard. It offers solid call quality and extensive e-mail and messaging support.

"Far from the best out there."

By mikeman75 (cnet.com)

You can't set a preloaded picture as a pictur... 

The phone looks nice, and physically using it feels good. It is easy to type things out/dial numbers. You can use both the QWERTY keyboard and the number pad for texting

The interface is beyond clumsy. It's maddening. The interface is in bad need of improvement

"Don't buy this garbage phone!"

By hemirick426 (cnet.com)

It'll suck you in with it's good looks

This phone sucks! I bought it new at the end of Aug. On Oct 25th the screen went black. IG wants me to ship it back for a rebuild. That will take 7-10 working days and I will lose all of my stored data! Don't purchase this piece of crap phone
