Cons::
-clunky compared to m300
-bit heavy
-i heard keyboard cord inside of phone breaks if u slide it too much
-doesn't send or recieve messages when first used in the morning
This phone is pretty cool.
this phone was really great and i loved the pull out keyboard. i am a heavy texter. but after having it for about a month it started turning off i had to turn it on by myself
PROS
-it was really durable
-i could create a slide show for a wallpaper.
-the music quality is great.
-the pics aren't as bad as they say
-every single detail is awesome
CONS

-it kept deleting my weather location for celltop. although it stopped after a while
fun but old
this phone is very fun to play with and texting is very easy.it has a perfect fit in your hands which i love.The phone could be a little bit better,but its good for people who want a basic style.the style makes it feel old,but overall it is a good phone.
horrible
the phone is really nice when you first get it.
the full keyboard is nice, and it seems decent
after about three months, the internal screen will crack, and you wont be able to see a thing.
this is my second phone in about five months.
i dont reccommend it at all
WAS GOOD UNTIL...
KAYSO. I GOT THIS PHONE AN UPGRADE. AND I HAD IT FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS
it was great UNTIL WHENEVER I TURNED IT ON IT STARTED GOING WHITE ON THE SCREEN AND I GOT IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL THE FIRST FEW TIMES, BY TAKING THE BATTERY OUT
NOW EVERY TIME I SLIDE TO THE KEYBOARD IT GOES WHITE
AND THE LAST TIME I DIDNT GET IT TO GO BACK NORMAL its still white!!!
AND IMMA GET IT FIXED, THEN I THINK IMMA GET THE MOTO RAZR VE20
Should you Scoop One? Or Should you not?
My answer to the question above is a simple word. Yes. Here are some pros and cons.
Pros:
Looks very cool
Has a neat notepad
The Chat style texting is very up-to-date
It has good memory (some people said it dont)
The music player is very good and sounds good
The menu is very different then most phones
When you slide the phone you quickly text
Has bluetooth
Recieves and send text, pic messages FAST!
Has a video camera (Thats pretty fun)
Has IM preloaded (COOL!)
Has a button next to the screen for IM
Has a button next to the screen for music
The music sounds very clear
IDK if I said this but send messages FAST!
Sends messages VERY FAST (1-3 seconds)
Cons:
Camera quality could be better
To be honest everyone thats ALL the cons. I am not lying. I have never had a phonescoop account. I JUST made one just to write this review. I REALLY do recommend this phone. Its the "LG Scoop". I'm not saying anything about the "Rumor" because i dont own it. I have Alltel. So people who have Alltel. I am NOT lying to you. If your looking for a good texting, music playing, different featured phone, this is it. I have a grey one. It has turned on and off but there IS a solution to it. Make sure you DO NOT have over 40 send messages and over 40 recieved messages in your messages. If you do this WILL cause your phone to freeze. So there you go. By the way people if anyone has a question about the "Scoop" text me at 479-35-5467. If you have questions about the "Rumor" also text but I CANNOT answer anything that has to do with Sprint. Oh and one more thing, you CANNOT use songs you get as your ringers. You have to buy ringer songs. Please read this: This is not the phones fault. Starting Aug I think 1 or 2nd NO Alltel phones will have this ability. Sorry ALltel people. So if you HAVE to be an ALltel and your gonna get a new phone.You might as well get this phone cuz all the others wil be the same. Remember you can text me at 479-353-5467
The Rumor is an great phone...
The rumor is a great phone. Since it is not a flip phone, I just have to be a little more careful not to scratch it, which isn't really that big of a deal. I am a firm believer that if you don't take care of your phone, it's gonna to break! If you treat it well, it won't break!
Pro's
Great service (Sprint)
Cool pull out keyboard
Very user friendly
Fun candybar style
Love the white
Con's/Ehhh
No flash-buy a camera for the fancy stuff. If you're looking for quality pictures buy a digital.
Altogether. I have had no issues with my Rumor. I am very happy with my purchase! :-)
horrible.
I got this phone in December 2007, and by June 2008 i was back to my old phone, which came free with my plan.
while the keyboard on this phone was awesome to have, the quality of the phone just stunk.
The first phone didn't even activate, so another was sent to me in the meantime. that one was great for a month or two, and then the qwerty keyboard didn't work at all.
so i paid 35 dollars for a refurbished replacement.
After another month, that one broke as well... this time, it didn't even start up.
so another $35 goes into another refurbished phone.
another month or two later, and the phone breaks, yet again. A new battery fixed the problem for another month, and then the thing refuses to start up past the title screen.
so rather than spending another $35 on another phone, i just activated my old one.
when i went in to see about another one, there was a guy beside me with the same problem with his rumor.
again, the qwerty keyboard is great,
but i would definitely not recommend the phone.
not bad!
The rumor is a great phone with a slide out keyboard that makes texting a very fun thing to do. Here are some pros and cons about the lg rumor.
Pros:
* the keyboard is fantastic one of the best ive used!!
* small and light weight.
* 3 (4 soon) colors availabile!
* Ev-Do so not bad Internet connection
Cons:
* the camera sucks. Period.
* the interface desing isnt all that interesing
* the signal varries.. I live in Shawnee ,KS
Well overall that's about it! The phone is great with a starting price at $49.99 with a 2 year contract!
By the way I made this review with my iPhone
Wonderful Phone
I was leary of getting this phone because I had read so many bad reviews about it. I went ahead an got the phone and I love it. I am a heavy texter and the QWERTY keyboard is wonderful. I purchased a 4gb memory card slot and I have tons of songs pictures and even full length movies about 10 to be exact. Quality of movies are great considering it is a phone. The camera is ok, wish it had a flash for indoor use but with the right lighting you can get a pretty good pic. When I first purchased my phone the only on available was the black/blue. Now there is the white/silver, green/grey in which my mom and sister have one of each.
The pros,
Media player is pretty good
Keyboard is wonderful
All around great phone
The cons
You can't save pic or songs to phone from SD
Card.
Using the web for a long time, the phone will
turn off and turn back on.
No sprint TV
I love this phone, so the good definately out weighs the bad. Hope this has helped someone. This is by far the best phone for me.
