LG Rumor (LX260) Reviewed - is this device worth holding on to?

myside — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 12:03:35 -0500

I will be renewing my Sprint contract in October. I plan on taking advantage of the phone upgrade credit but find myself thinking that I may hold off until sometime after tax season. The reason is that I have a fully functional phone that does most of the tasks I need performed.

Out of the box, I have to announce that the device is crippled. It takes a bit of time and trouble to get your MSL code (root access ID) to enable the ability to install 3rd party Java midlet applications. If you need to have file-system access, you will need a data cable and BitPIM to access the Java policy file.

After the above is accomplished, the phone performs amazingly proficient with most anything you may push to the LG Rumor core to do. I use Opera Mini 5 successfully with dozens of open web page tabs. I have Skype installed for instant messaging. Mobile GMAPS is a wonderful tool for GPS navigation with routing and multiple street and land views. I take great advantage of an application called MTvIRC for IRC communications. All these applications are available free once the initial pain of rooting your phone wears off.

My cons at this time:

The location API is GPSONE and is A-GPS. Note that you are able to use Qualcomm's location services.
Yes, you can put your running Java midlets in the background for multitasking. The bad news is that I do not know how. While randomly swiping the QWERTY keypad in and out a couple times, it will perform this operation. Both Sprint and LG claim that this is not possible. Shame on you both.
I use a Windows Mobile smart-phone for several purposes. I would like a one do-it-all device.
It feels as though all the new and cool applications being developed are for the Android.

My solution to the above cons is enough incentive to buy a full fledged smartphone when my contract is up and after I receive my tax returns.

I would absolutely - surely tell anyone interested in the LG Rumor (LX260) or Rumor 2 to not waste your time and money. The cons are greater than my list and span multiple phone specific utilities. However, if you find one on e-bay for 10 dollars and 20 shipping, it may be worth the purchase price for a young text messaging friend of yours. Believe me, it will not make them popular however.

I made a visit to YouTube a short moment ago and was overwhelmed with the front page videos of a very talented singer, songwriter, and pianist - Greyson Michael

Yes, I am an adult, and this musician is young enough to make me feel a bit odd to say this: I will buy his record in a heart beat.

Ellen Degeneres has offered him a recording option for record production and sales. By the looks of his expression after Ellen's announcement, I am sure this opportunity will not be passed up.

Don't quite believe this young man will show up in adult CD collections as legitimate, unique, and personal music tracks resulting in dedicated adult fans? Check [here] for just one of many solos he has performed. Afterwards try searching for some of his self written songs.
