Just ordered the LG Rumor Touch from Virgin Mobile

twilyth · 02-27-2011, 05:12 PM

I never buy anything just because I see an ad for it, but Virgin says they give you unlimited email, web, etc for $25/month.

That was deal I couldn't pass up.

The Rumor got 4.25 stars on Phonescoop.com and had a pop out keyboard so I'm really looking forward to it.

3G coverage in my area looks really solid. That will be important since it doesn't seem to have wifi.

Anyone have experience with this android phone or Virgin Mobile?

I had Virgin Mobiles Rumor Touch, it's a very nice phone. There were just too many dead spots in my area. You can't beat the $25/mo either.

That's what my wife has...It runs off of the Sprint Network...Good phone too.

twilyth · 03-05-2011, 01:43 AM

How do I use this damned phone? Are you REALLLLLYYYYYY going to make me RTFM?

jmcslob · 03-05-2011, 04:54 AM

If you have a missed call or text don't search for the "Bubble" just touch the Little number on the top mid left of the screen...that's all Ive learned so far...LOL

Hehehe - i'm doing my 1st post from it. a little time consuming but fun.

I gave up on posting from smart phones, it shits me off. There just has to be a better way.

Aw look what you have started, now I find out I can dual boot android or windows (on my work phone) so now I'll se researching this option first, then installing tapatalk. First need faster SD card so it can run a OS.

2 weeks, 3 bricks later....

Bundy · 03-06-2011, 07:02 AM

So - to avoid installing android (just yet) I instead installed a beta Wm6.5 program called rapid read. Seems very nice but it says that GN and TPU don't support tapatalk. Is this the same for you trip? I want to know so I know where to look.

Triprift · 03-06-2011, 09:34 AM

Yes as it needs a plug in for the forum to get it working.
