QWERTY Rumor by LG
Oct 9, 07 04:08 PM PDT

Sprint has been teasing us with their new QWERTY 3G phone, but besides the photo, Sprint is tight-lipped about the device – that’s part of the maketing ploy.
Anyhow, here’s our best guess: we think that this is not a Windows Mobile device and that it will rather be the Sprint equivalent to the Verizon LG Envy. It will have a somewhat proprietary OS and user interface, which most likely, will suck – although I hope that I’m wrong. As the poster says, it’s a 3G device.
Update: read our LG Rumor Hands-On

I LOVE THIS CELL PHONE it is so sweet how it slides to the side and has a keyboard.. the only thing i dont like how it is so fatt i think they should make a skinnier version of it and they should make the buttons on the front silky and together cuz they are so raised up

By Kali , 04/03/08 4:20 PM (CommentID #532757)
I have this phone, but in white. And I hate it. I thoght it was cool for alittle bit, and it sucks to text on the "keyboard". I can text fast on it cause I know a keyboard perfectally, but if most of the time it deleys the words coming in and you also have to punch the button really hard to get it on there. And it takes terrible pictures. Too bad i've allready had it more than 30 days or I would return it :|

The battery life on this phone is the best I've ever had with the past 6 cell phones I've owned, whoever said it is poor is retarted. I do not know how to put my own ring tones on it yet, if anyone knows let me know.

By Tori , 22/12/07 11:37 PM (CommentID #402554)
i am getting the rumor because i have the upstage && it sucks. it freezes all the time, it calls people when i put it in my pocket, the screen cracked within 2 month, && it doesnt save songs that are sent to me. :/ the rumor sounds like it will be a lott better. :)
By Jaimi , 13/12/07 9:42 PM (CommentID #393256)
Yeah I have the upstage too and it sucks. the only thing i like about it, is how well the battery life is for such a small phone. and i text constantly and it still lasts. im getting this sometime next month. im hoping its better than the Fusic by LG that I once had. :) and is the sound good if you DL the songs instead of recording them yourself?
By kierstin , 13/12/07 8:30 PM (CommentID #393228)
yes you can just go to voive memo record than options and set as contacts or what you want it for

i got this phone for my birthday and overall its really good! the only problems with it are that the camera takes FOREVER to take a picture and when it finally does take one, its not so great.also, the battery dies in about a day or two which is very shortlasting. but the key board and the media player makes it all worth it=]
By jon , 25/11/07 8:23 PM (CommentID #376059)

By marc , 15/11/07 8:30 PM (CommentID #364886)
I bought the phone, the MP3 doesn't allow for downloads from the Sprint Music Store or digital gallery. Look at page 180 of the product guide. They put in Vision software (3-4 years old) in it. Hopefully you want to use illegal file shareing sites to download music into this phone.

A very nice phone for the price. If your looking for a noncomplicated qwerty cell phone, this would be your best choice. You get all the basic's, and if your not sure if you want it, go check it out at the Sprint stores nearby. Great phone for anyone. Love it, recommended!
