For the Canucks in the crowd that got a taste of the LG Rumour on Bell, get ready for the LG Rumour 2… It’s coming to Bell on June 9th at the following price points:

  • 3-year: $69.95
  • 2-year: $119.95

The main difference between the original Rumour and the Rumour 2 is the addition of a 4th row of slide-out QWERTY keyboard keys. Yep, the extra row of keys should make it easier on those that do a lot of messaging… There’s even directional arrows and an ‘emoticon’ key to help you show your emotions within your text messages. The Rumour 2 also packs a 1.3MP camera (with video), 2″ 240×320 display, Bluetooth, GPS, 2.5mm stereo headset jack, speakerphone and expandable memory up to 16GB.

    I am on my 3rd LG Rumour 2 since I bought it two weeks ago.
    I dealt with the issue until yesterday and couldn’t take it anymore. They gave me a new one and it did it again. I am sure this one will to.
    Here is the problem: I use the front keyboard the most. I don’t like the drop down menu of words as it slows typing down. So I turn it off. The phone is fine. I can scroll through the words (ie. good, home, gone, etc) than BAM. It doesn’t work anymore. I try to scroll and can only get the numbers. I have been told with the rumour that you have to use the drop down menu, I guess that would be fine IF I knew it didn’t sometimes work the other way!
    After a week and a half, it also deleted My Words. Huge inconvience after spending $300 on a phone.
    I apparently have to wait for the manager on Monday to discuss getting a new different phone. I would not recommend this phone to anyone. It is not dependable.
