Rumor or wait??

😕
Im really attracted to the rumor, however, I am EXTREMELY hesitant on making the decision or painfully waiting it out for another month and a half for the new year. I'm looking for neat new phones like the rumor..anything with a full keyboard and preferrably windows. Even though the rumor does not have windows, I'm wondering if it's even worth me spending the extra $15 or more a month to gain internet access if the browser in the phone is going to be cheap or "watered down" as i once read. I want to get my moneys worth..can anyone help me out and/or know of any upcoming phones that I should be looking forward to?? I MUST get rid of my prepaid!!!!

Wait till "Black Friday" man! The new Moto Q9 will be your best bet...an EV-DO phone with the full keyboard your looking for, and Windows Mobile 6 as well! Personally, I think it'll be perfect. So lemme get this straight, are you an existing customer or going to sign up? 🙂

I would totally wait! The phone is not "bad" but it's not the best and there should definately be better things to come!

The Rumor isn't a smartphone, and since you say you prefer something with Windows, you probably are more geared towards the smartphones. That isn't to say that the Rumor is bad, though. However, it lacks EVDO, which I thought should've been a must for that phone. (cf. enV) Methinks the Rumor was designed more for parents to give their teens that wouldn't allow them to download songs over-the-air, thereby giving some cost control if the parent buys flat-rate text and data plans.

🤣
I agree, I must admit when I have visited two Sprint stores, there were groups of young kids asking about it. And you are correct, I am geared mroe towards a smartphone. I use to own the treo 700w from verizon but let it go after dissapointing reception. I have also owned two blackberry's, but I tend to stear away from them. I suppose the concealment of the keyboard and the physical format of the phone really attracted me.

November 23rd man go with the Moto Q9! And again bro, are you an existing customer, or new? Because if your new, save yourself $15 dollars/month and sign up for SERO! $30/month, 500 minutes, INCLUDES unlimited text, internet, nights and weekends at 7 etc etc.

I HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT THIS PHONE BE DISCARDED AND THAT NOONE I KNOW BUYS 1 OF THESE.!!!I HAVE POSTED THIS IN AS MANY FORUMS AS I COULD FIND ON THIS PHONE.
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A JUNK PHONE!!The sprint music and sprint tv doesn’t work(sprint blames lg for this),cant send picture mail or text with pictures attached,Everytime I try to go to my content manager I get something about the phone needs a handler,tell it to get the handler and the phone shuts down and restarts then tells you it needs the handler again.
I have called Lg and asked what format the ringtones were supposed to be in for them to work on my daughters rumor phone and they told me they didnt know that they just make the phones and sprint sends them the software to load ...

You need a life, it's obvious that you really don't know what going on.

First, Sprint dosn't block TV or Radio on phones, they make money on those. It's more like Windows Mobile not being able to support it. WM5's media player does not support TV or radio.

Second,

BUT SPRINT WILL SURE TELL YOU TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER(AND THE LG PEOPLE DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PHONE ACCORDING TO THE SUPPORT PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH)

HTC makes the Mogul and Touch, and yes Verizon does call the Mogul a Mogul, they don't call it a ppc6800, I think they call it the VX6800.

Thirdly, Every carrier charges for ringtones, get use to it, Sprint allows you to go to 3rd party sites and downloa...

(insert long rant/post)


Holy necro post! Since this was brought back from the dead, might as well add something useful to it...

There are numerous models coming out in August- October.
