What Rumor? Its true that it sucks.

Pros Color, QWERTY keyboard, camera, settings for back rounds/main screen appearance, size, and the grip.
Cons battery life, poor paint, reboots, water damage, many chargers, screen problems, keyboard coverings, speaker sound.
Recommended it? No
The Bottom Line:  Try not to buy this particular Rumor, and if you want a type of Rumor, then buy the 2nd generation or the touch.
The LG rumor was my very first phone. I was so excited that I finally had a phone that had the qwerty keyboard, and it was conveniently my favorite color; lime green. The first day I had the phone, nothing was wrong, everything worked perfectly, and what did I know, it was my first phone. Once the Updated Rumor came out, and my father bought one for himself, I immediately realized what a piece of junk the phone was. The paint was all chipped off around the sides, the buttons started to loose their coating, scratches were everywhere, my chargers broke at least 2 times, and I had gone through 3 batteries due to "water damage": which made NO sense because I never dropped in in water. Turns out that if you leave a junky phone in the bathroom with you while you shower the water vapor gets trapped inside there, and boom, there's your water damage. Accidentally I had left my phone in my pocket one day, and my mom washed it. Well, it didn't really bother me since I hated it. Sprint insisted that they would give me a free one, since I had insurance. The new phone came in, and here's the funny part, the manufacture had actually stopped making the phone, so I had what was now a "recycled phone" meaning that the company fixed broken LG rumors, matching my color, and tried  fixing them to resell. Key word: TRIED. The 2nd phone was a lot worse than the first one ever was. My screen decided to go black on half of it, and it randomly rebooted itself (WHICH MY CURRENT RUMOR TOUCH STILL DOES TO THIS DAY), plus all the problems my first Rumor had. I eventually just stopped using my phone, and used my friends phones because I couldn't stand it anymore. I would recommend NOT buying this phone due to these facts: The Rumor touch is a better deal if your looking for a type of Rumor, the battery life was horrible, camera quality was disgustingly horrible, it was susceptible to water damage, rebooting itself, cheap keyboard, small screen, and all around poor quality.
