LG Rumor 2 Phone, Titanium (Sprint) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with U.S. 3G, GPS with Free Voice Navigation, Wi-Fi, and 4 GB MicroSD Card--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK..to start, I gotta say that the FREE shipping from Amazon SUCKS. So, if you want good shipping, dont use the FREE shipping that Amazon offers. Why? Tracking is horrible, tracking history is completely inaccurate.
(I used the nokia N82 before)
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BUY THE CELLPHONE, READ THIS REVIEW. I THINK IT WILL HELP A LOT. IT IS LONG, I KNOW.
Moving on, the cellphone is good for the price. Come on, where will you get a 300$ cellphone that has all the functions that this one has? It is insane: 3.2 camera, touchscreen, more customizable than iphone, external memory, etc etc.
Regarding the touchscreen...I think it is personal taste.. I never used the iphone, and I think that this touchscreen it is VERY responsive. AFTER buying this phone and getting used to it, I used a friend's Itouch and I gotta say that my nokia 5800 is the winner. But as I said, it is personal taste. Still, it is a very responsible touchscreen (no matter you say that it is a resistive touchscreen)..like, you got no excuse..it is responsive, and it is responsive. PERIOD.
Good things about it:
-Starting to have more apps...you just gotta know where to find, for FREE.
-MACRO of the camera is awesome.
-I got the GPS with turn by turn voice direction (trial), and it is a dream. I wont know when they take away my trial...however, with voice direction, this thing it is a real GPS.
-The media button is pretty useful.
-It is legit that it unlocks when you take it close to your face when you are talking.
-Speakers are also awesome. Super loud. Sound quality when you plug in earpieces are also really nice.
-I love the cable to plug it in to the tv. I convert videos, put it on my cellphone and lay on my bed, plug the cellphone into the tv and voila. It is REALLY nice.
-About apps. Right now I have 42 but I only use maybe 8 of them lol.
-The screen it is mega-clear. It is one of the best screens ive seen.
The "so-so" of this phone:
-Build quality. It is pretty well built, however the screen it is TOO plasticky. When I put it under the sun, the reflection shows a big difference in the surface, I mean..it is not completely flat. Using the reflection of light you will realize it is not completely flat. In other words, the screen presents big flex (like in laptops, for instance). However, the rest of the cellphone is well built. If you take out the screen part of the cellphone, it is a pretty solid cellphone.
-The camera. I dont know. Sometime it takes great pictures, sometimes it stinks. When there is too much suns, it doesnt work well. When there isnt light, it also sucks. It has to have the right amount of light.
-For some people it may be ok, but this is a freaken fingerprint magnet. only the back cover it is mate. The rest of the cellphone devours fingerprint as a dinasour.
-Battery life it is not the best, but not the worst.
The bad:
-The interface it is not the friendliest. It could be better. I hope that with the update, it will be user friendlier.
-The screen. As I said, it is too flexible. It kills me to see differences with the reflection of the light (you know what im saying if you have the cellphone). It makes me hella nervous.
-Sometimes the phone in landscape mode, when you want to scroll down or up for example in some setting, it is freaking hard. I always keep tapping the wrong thing. in vertical mode this doesnt happen, because the scroll bar it is sticked to the right of the screen, so you dont have margin of error. however, in landscape mode the scroll bar is in the middle of the screen, so it gets tricky.
-Honestly, the phone it isnt the best looking phone in the market. It is just a chunk of plastic. (This is for people that care about appearances. I personally dont care, but im trying to be objective)Ok, I think this is pretty much it. If you read this, you may decide whether to buy ir or not. I think it is a pretty good phone for the price. If you are RICH and money it is not your main problem, I would say go buy yourself a N97. Oppositely, I would say definitely go for this cellphone; I like it pretty much. You wont regret it (however, remember all the things I wrote in this review). If you are ok with the cons of this cellphone, you wont regret. And in my opinion, the Pro's overcome the Con's so... I dont know, it is your call!
I hope this helped.

No additional licenses needed for extra countries, regions or services like traffic information or city guides. Data charges from network operators may apply.

Voice Guidance and Traffic Information Turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation comes free for both drivers and pedestrians. For drivers this includes lane assistance, traffic information, safety camera, and speed warnings. For pedestrians, this includes shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones for over 100 cities around the world as well as 6,000 3D landmarks in over 200 cities to help you find exactly where you are.

Unique Hybrid Technology Ovi Maps is built on an advanced technology called hybrid vector maps. Vector maps are high quality but less data intensive and allow you to continue to navigate even if you lose your network connection. This means that maps downloaded or updated across a network connection are about half the size of bulky bitmaps used by other mobile map providers. The hybrid technology ensures that, unlike other providers, any downloaded map data is stored on the device for future use.

No Network Connection Required When Navigating Avoid expensive, battery-draining network connections with Nokia's unique hybrid technology. Maps can be pre-loaded on to your Nokia smartphone so you can set Ovi Maps to offline mode, saving battery power, and the navigation system will still work. This is particularly useful for those worried about data connection costs when travelling abroad or when you are travelling through areas with little or no network coverage.

Best Global Coverage You take your mobile with you wherever you go in the world so, as standard, voice guided navigation for both pedestrians and drivers is available for 74 countries in 46 different languages and there are maps for over 180 countries. This gives you the best maps with the largest global coverage for free.



Amazon Video on DemandAmazon Video on Demand offers over 40,000 movie and TV titles that you can watch on the go using your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone, and set-up is easy. You'll first need to download the Amazon Video on Demand video player (which may also be called the Amazon "Unbox" player; not compatible with Mac or Linux computers).
The Amazon Video on Demand player can download two types of videos. To save space on your computer's hard drive, the Amazon Video Player will only download the larger video file for watching in the Player. You will need to also download the smaller portable file in order to transfer your video to your 5800 XpressMusic. You can only transfer a portable version of a video if you've previously downloaded the full video to your computer using the Amazon Video Player. The 8 GB microSD memory card included with the 5800 XpressMusic should allow you to store around 15 average full-length movies

Note that you will not be able to transfer Rental Videos to your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic--only purchased videos can be transferred. For complete instructions, see this Amazon Help article.
