Bluetooth

Bluetooth pairing with the LG Rumor Touch is simple and easy. I had no problem pairing with a Bluetooth headset, a set of stereo speakers and my laptop. The Rumor Touch supports stereo music protocols and a few file transfer protocols, so if you want to go wireless instead of using a microUSB cable, you can transfer pics and files over Bluetooth instead.

Clock

You get a big clock front and center on the lock screen on the LG Rumor Touch, and throughout the main menus a small clock lingers in the notification bar. There aren't any special style options to change the look of the clock, but it was digital looking and easy to read. It was also easy to set up a quick alarm, and the clock app comes with a world clock feature and a stopwatch.

GPS

The LG Rumor Touch uses Sprint Navigator for turn-by-turn navigation. In my tests, the Rumor Touch had no trouble finding me quickly an keeping hold of a GPS signal, even as I drove in and out of the downtown area. The Rumor Touch can also geotag photos automatically. Unfortunately, you can't send location info in any of the social networking apps included with the phone.
