Looking for a great messaging phone to use on the Sprint network? Well, Noah has found one in the LG Rumor. The bar style device come equipped with a slide out QWERTY keyboard that when opened, automatically switches the phone to messaging mode. Other key features include a 1.3 megapixel camera with 2x zoom, media player, and expandable memory card slot.

xlaughing
5/14/2008 11:05:42 PMYep I am getting mine for $50, which is a mega-good deal! My other favorite phone is the black LG Chocolate, but I'd have to switch to verizon for that, and it doesn't have a full keyboard.

5/12/2008 12:28:56 AMIt depends on your plan/contract. My contract was a 2 year contract. And I have had the phone for 1 year 11 months so far. Originally with no discount the Rumor is $269 for me. After 1 year with my current phone and contract I get the Rumor for about $200 (about $50 discount), and after 2 years I can get it for $50 (a lot of discount!! about $200).

5/11/2008 9:56:04 PMwait so i have the razr2 , does that mean i can trade/upgrade and get a discount on the rumor if i decide to buy it?
xlaughing
5/11/2008 8:24:55 PMI agree (: I wish there were more color options. I think the white one would be really cool with a colored keyboard. Like the blue color that is on the black one. I just found out that if I wait about 3 weeks to get my Rumor, I can get it for $50. Soooo as much as I want it now, I will just wait, so I can save about $150 (:

5/11/2008 6:59:05 PMI think that for 280 you should look at other options.. but I'm getting mine for $204 because im upgrading my other phone (katana). Buth then again it is a pretty good deal, so if yo ufind a nice phone in that price range then get it but if u dont stick with the rumor! xD

5/11/2008 6:55:39 PMlol thx the black and blue one does look more guy-ish then the white and silver lol. Some people might think the black and blue one go together really well but then other people like the white and silver even more... I made up my mind about 4 hours ago and chose:(drumm roll plz!!) The white/silver one :) lol i think its simple yet playful and elagant.. IDK where those words came from but they did lmao

xlaughing
5/11/2008 4:24:31 PMI am buying one soon too! I am planning on getting the white/silver one. I think the black/blue one is more guy-ish in my opinion.
