The only thing I would say needs improvement is that the ring tone volume could be louder. Rating: 4 / 5 I love the slideout qwerty keyboard and the sleek design.

I am informed that this is due to a bug in the softwares phone. When two keys (don't know which) are pressed, it puts the phone in debug mode. What a piece of junk!! Buy a different phone. LG stinks.

You will need to buy the USB cord and attachment for headphones separately, which was annoying. The camera works fine and the keyboard layout is nice. The music player os basic and stalls when changing between songs. Rating: 3 / 5 I like this phone, but it comes with nothing.

Garrett Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:50:23 +0000 http://usamobiles.net/lg-rumor-2-phone-titanium#comment-1289 I've owned both the Rumor and the Rumor2, and I'm torn between which I like better. The first big difference is the QWERTY pad - the original did not have a dedicated number line or a smiley button, both of which are nice. However, having spent almost a year with the Rumor, I'm having to re-learn where certain buttons are (namely the enter button, and that there's also a dedicated period button), but that's to be expected with any new phone. <br />I do miss my camcorder on the original Rumor. Had I spent more time at the store (yes, Sprint Customer Service was driving me nuts and I just wanted to get out of there with my wallet intact), I would have noticed that it didn't have a camcorder, and might have gone with a different phone. <br />However, that is more than made up for by the threaded text messaging (very nice when you're trying to recall a conversation, so you don't have to keep jumping between the inbox and sent box), as well as the onslaught of alarms. The original Rumor had 3 alarms plus a quick (1min, 10min, 30min, 1hr). The Rumor 2 has 5 alarms, plus a "Walk the Dog" alarm (as well as three different ringers revolving around walking your dog), and the quick alarm. Probably my favorite feature? Once again, the microSD capacity has been bumped up - this time to 16gigs!!! I'm still working to fill my 4gig that I had in the Rumor, but I suppose that once 16gig cards drop in price the way the 2s and 4s have, I'll find myself buying a bigger card. Beware, though, with a bigger card and more music, it takes longer and longer to load the music player. <br />Speaking of which, the music player has some nice updates from the original Rumor as well. Again, as someone who's been through way too many phones (9 in the last 4 years, to be exact), I have had the Fusic with it's music player (by far my favorite), the Musiq with it's player (the Java based piece of junk, which was only good because I could put the player in the background and still use my phone 100% for other apps), the Rumor (very basic player, just with shuffle & repeat functions), and now this one. It's still closest to the original Rumor in that I can't create different playlists (at least, in the 24 hours of owning it, I haven't found a way to yet), but it does have the option of playing songs in a list or having it shown as a player with the song information and time remaining. Again, still pretty basic, but a ton better than the original Rumor. <br /> <br />Overall, I'm just happy that I have a phone that isn't quirky (yet), one that has a killer QWERTY and text layout, and one that takes pretty decent pics for a 1.3 camera. Again, lots of alarm choices, the music player's decent, and not too much new to learn from the original Rumor. If I find anything else worth mentioning, I'll try to remember to bring it up :) Rating: 4 / 5 I’ve owned both the Rumor and the Rumor2, and I’m torn between which I like better.
