Decent starter phone with a great QWERTY keyboard.

3

This was the first phone I got when I switched over to Sprint from a pay-as-you-go service. I absolutely loved this phone when I first got it. The keyboard fit great in my hands and was easy to use. Performance This phone did exactly what I needed it for, primarily texting. I didn't have much need to go online with it and the few times I did browse the internet on this phone it was clunky and difficult to navigate. But it wasn't meant for that- use it for what it's meant for and it works great. Voice Quality I never had an issue with voice quality on this phone. Battery Life Battery life was excellent. Durability This is hard to answer. Physically, the phone could take a beating. However, I had to have it replaced twice in two years because the screen began to go fuzzy. The second time it got to the point where I could no longer read my screen and had to guess which button to push when I had an incoming call. Ease of Use Very intuitive. I immediately had no trouble navigating this phone. Design At the time, I thought it was gorgeous. Now with the much sleeker smartphones on the market the Rumor looks a little clunky but it still is not an ugly phone and the sliding keyboard is very handy.

Not Durable

I loved the look and functions of this phone, but it didn't hold up very well. Just from normal use my x key stopped working after only 2 months and there was nothing they could do to fix it. A few months later it just stopped working all together. When I turned it on, it just continually tried to power up but never actually got past the loading screen. I wouldn't get another one.

The LG Rumor Reflex Has Everything For You But The Kitchen Sink~

The LG Rumor "Reflex" Cell Phone was my perfect match. It has a huge3-inch WQVGA touchscreen; built-in GPS; 2MP Camera & Camcorder; 3 GB Data capabilities; full Qwerty Keypad; and equipped with Bluetooth technology; memory card support; speakerphone; Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting & 3-Way Calling . There is easy access to facebook and twitter and keep in touch via your email. Sorry folks, no android on this model...I didn't want a smart phone because I was trying to keep my expenses down. This is truly the next best cell phone to owning one though. I already have an android tablet. Other spec's are 512 MB ROM/256 MB RAM with 480 Mhz processor. Excellent battery life which is only shortened by using the internet functions. I received my phone for free while signing a two year contract with Credo {a Sprint service}. I love my new phone and have been sharing the news with family and friends. I definitely recommend~ Performance Awesome capabilities. Performs very well. Doesn't take long to adjust to. Voice Quality Great voice quality. Battery Life Battery life is excellent as long as you do not wear down by texting all day or going online Durability I already accidently dropped and it remained intact with no scratches. Very durable. Ease of Use As with anything, it takes a little time to adjust to all the applications. Comes with book. Design Love the size and how easy it is to slip into my purse. Excellent product

It isn't what it seems!

I have had this phone for almost a year it has given me so many problems. I have already had 2 replacements, but sadly they give you the same phone. My first phone I had like if you would put any pressure on it or anything it would simply cut off. The phone would cut off for the slightest fall. The second phone I got the speaker quit on me. I could hear people talking to me but, they couldn't hear me. I just had too many problems with this phone.

If you are a text fanatic this is a great phone for you!

This phone is easy to learn to use. It flips sideways to reveal a full keyboard. This is a great phone for someone who likes to text alot. As for phone usage, I have had many people tell me they have trouble hearing me on it. I have trouble hearing the person I am talking to as well a lot of times. I think this is due to the single pinhole sized speakers you talk into and listen through. You can hear better if you put the other person on speaker but they will have trouble hearing you. Overall I enjoy the phone because I like to text.

great phone for texting!

this is a great texting phone.... the slide out qwerty keyboard is a great feature! i havent had any problems with it so far and i have had it for two years... my only problem that i hope is fixed in the rumor 2 is the camera.... the pictures you take on the camera are ok in quality. i think it could use a night time feature.... if it's a little dark, your pics arent going to come out well.... other than the camera, i have no problems with the phone =)

LG Rumor is a cool little phone

5

My LG Rumor is a good little phone. It has great reception even without an external antenna. My last phone wouldn't work inside most stores! This on is great! I like the keyboard and use the calendar everyday. It is easy to use and very functional. My daughter loves the mp3 player she always want to listen to music in the stores and it keeps her busy. The camera ok. The camcorder is good to take short video clips. I would recommend it to anybody. The only thing that is the problem is the earbud port on the side of the phone. The is lose fitting and slips out easily.

I got this phone for free through the government.

I signed up at safelinkwireless.com for this lifeline of Ohio program to get a free phone to qualifying individuals and I love it! I get texting and all kinds of neat extras, games and ringtones. I would recommend this little black phone to everyone. I love it. You just cannot get or give any pictures with texting on this phone.

I love my tracfone!

I love my tracfone because I am able to purchase minutes before I use them instead of getting a huge bill at the end of the month. If I need a lot of minutes, I get more, and if I need more, I simply get more.NO surprises or bills that I cannot afford at the end of the month.If I just want a few minutes, I just pay for a few minutes. The service is always there when I need it, so that is perfect too.! I needed a simple phone to make occasional calls, and the tracfone

Great Phone

I have been using this phone for over a year now with no problems, it was simple to figure out I get great reception and find the calendar and alarm features very useful. It has held up through all the accidental abuse I have put it through.
