Indestructible

2

I have gone through a lot of phones but this one stood out because it never broke, trying everything it never broke, this phone is indestructible, its almost nearly impossible to break it. The keypad is really small, kinda hard to text. Performance It did its job with phone calls and texting. Loved the keyboard at first Voice Quality Voices were clear in some places but I think that was due to the signal. Easy to talk on. Battery Life The battery life was pretty good, but then again it was like dealing with a brick Durability This phone will not break. Its hard covering keeps it from ccracking or anything. I dropped it while at busch gardens and there was not a scratch on it, perfect phone for rowdy teens lol Ease of Use Very easy to use Design I loved the design at first because it was the latest thing to have a phone with a keyboard. But with time just like everything, it began to become out of date, can not download apps also , kind of boring.

Really good and durable.

This was one of the first phones I had and it was really good. I did a lot of texting so they keyboard came in handy. The second selection buttons on the side are also very handy and make the phone a lot easier to use than the first rumor was. Performance The phone was a little slow especially with internet and downloads. There wasn't a lot to do on it other than games and texting but the games made the phone really slow. Sometimes it would just go black and I would have to take the battery out. You can personalize it pretty easily, you can change the background, the colors of text and menus, and a lot of other things. Voice Quality Quality is good. You can hear people well and there isn't really any static. Battery Life I would use it all the time and I only every had to charge it every couple of days. I texted most of the day and made a lot of calls and still, it almost never died. Durability A very durable phone for sure! I dropped it countless times, stepped on it, dropped things on it, and what finally brought it down was water. Ease of Use The rumor two doesn't really have a lot of features so there isn't a lot of things to figure out about it but what it does have is very easy to figure out even without reading the little book. Design I like the design a lot. A great improvement over the first rumor. The buttons on the side above the key board make texting a lot easier because they are also the send buttons. The charger port is also on the bottom which makes using it while charging super easy!

Phone keeps Ticking but the Battery is Terrible

This is a good phone for someone who isn't technologically savvy or someone who wants to avoid a smartphone. It's in a fairly good price range with comparable phones and it has a slide out qwerty keyboard that makes it easy to type up notes or text messages. Basic internet searching, nothing spectacular and don't expect it to recognize everything on a webpage or display it properly. That being said, the battery life is horrendous. I had two rumor 2 phones and both had the battery die out on them within months on each other. Now neither battery will take a full charge and will last 15 minutes on a call. I'd like to believe that I just had a fault battery but both phone were charged differently and they both met the same fate so I very much doubt that. Performance When it works, pretty good. Voice Quality Good voice quality Battery Life Horrendous stay away. Durability The actual phone is very durable, the battery not so much. Ease of Use Easy. Design Fairly good for what it's for.

Nice phone, camera works quite well, love the Qwerty slide-out keyboard & capability to add photos to text. Impressive for an older unit. Performance For the things that I use, it works quite well Voice Quality Standard Battery Life Keep it charging & use it only when needed, so I can not really say Durability Strong & sturdy Ease of Use Technical, but no more so than higher-end phones Design Stylish, sturdy & compact

This phone had tech problems from the begining

While the plan is cheap, the phones are poorly made and don't measure up to the promised service.  Buy another phone and hurry because this one will eventually give you a real headache.  This was the second of tow LG phones, the other one did not have a camera feature, but the technical specifications again disallowed saving ring tones and addresses transfered from the other LG phone.  More problems and worse, bad service.

It's okay

I guess I could say it has been a good phone. It has it days. Doesn't everything. Overall I am pretty happy for it for the most part. Not only do I have this product but so does my husband and my mother-n-law. They have also been pretty happy with theres. I guess it's a family thing. I suggest always researching a product before purchasing it. Make sure for good reviews. When you purchase an item your definitly want you moneys worth.

Need's Better services

I only got my phone in case something bad happen's but the town i live in can not get good services . I don't live in the city so i guess thats why . I can't send pics or text I would have to go to a bigger city which i do hate. And you have to buy a batter after so long. so to me I think they need to make better batters. I do like that I can take pics just wish I could send them and they came out better then what they do. i have not fount to many place where it makes the pic come out good. and I have tryed online and off.

Great for the technologically impaired!

I bought these for my daughter and myself. The setup of the phone, with the slide out keyboard was simple enough for me to be able to make calls and text without a teenagers help. I am severely allergic to all this "newfangled technology" stuff. The only problem I had with it was the screen is very small, and my camera kept going in and out of some overexposed picture taking mode.

Cute for the texter in training

I like this phone. I think however it's more for someone's teenager. It's tiny keyboard did not work for me and the screen was too small for me. When surfing the web, the screen would not show the full web page and when visiting youtube I was not ableto view all the videos. Apparently this phone is not compatible to view all the videos that are uploaded to youtube...depends on the format they are uploaded. Overall for the price it's ok, it serves it's purpose for the avid texter.
