LG Rumor Review - MobileBurn
LG Rumor review by MobileBurn: “The LG Rumor is that of a quality device. The slide mechanism feels solid and the materials used convey a feeling of quality. I came away from the LG Rumor being mainly impressed with its effectiveness as an e-mail and messaging device, especially considering that it’s only a pinch larger than the typical candy bar phone. Some may not be able to deal with the LG Rumor’s lack of mobile broadband, but not everybody is ready to take the plunge into that level of service. Not only that, but with a $50 rebate and a 2 year contract the handset will only set you back $79, making it a very affordable choice.
With regards to LG Rumor’s multimedia, kudos must be given to LG for supporting the larger 4 gigabyte microSD cards, and the odd placement for the dedicated camera shutter key, although unfortunate, is hardly a deal breaker. However, the lack of EV-DO functionality may send some looking at other devices with more comprehensive connectivity.
If you come to the LG Rumor wanting an assortment of ways to compose text messages and e-mails, and otherwise keep in touch, the phone will not disappoint. Therefore, I confidently give the LG Rumor a “Recommended” rating.”
