  LG Rumor Reflex Phone, Black (Sprint)

  Wireless (LG)
  

  Rating (4 reviews):

  (2.8/5)

  

  Best runt in the litter of dumb (a.k.a. feature) phones...

  I've been a feature phone user with Sprint for over 4 years now. Over that time, I've used the Palm Centro, the HTC Snap and the Samsung Reclaim. This is my first LG phone, and also my first touch screen phone. I own an iPad3 and an iTouch, but I don't want a smartphone like an iPhone or Android because I don't want to pay a higher monthly fee/cost.I've used this new Rumor Reflex phone for 4 days now. I give it an overall 3.5 stars rating that breakdowns as follows on the particular areas:4 stars for the case/phone body - feels solid, not too thick, easy to pop off/on the back to remove/insert the battery and microSD card. GREAT that the phone can take a microSD card of up to 32GB!4 stars for seemingly no problem with reception/drop calls, or sound quality on calls.4 stars for an easy to understand and utilize user-interface.3.5 stars for lcd touch screen - colors are bright and sharp, fonts appear clear and sharp, and the touch sensitivity of... 3/5 Res ipsa loquitur - "Curt" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: LG Rumor Reflex Phone, Black (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I've been a feature phone user with Sprint for over 4 years now.

  Great phone for non-smartphone users

  I'm against paying for a data plan on principle, so I've never owned a smartphone. I need a phone for calling/texting, and previous had the LG Lotus. I LOVED that phone and wished that LG had kept it, but you can only get them used now, so I decided to upgrade. I was going to get the LG Rumor Touch, but when I went to the Sprint site, I saw the Reflex.So far, so good. I'm new to the touchscreen, but I'm getting used to it and I think I will love it. The 3" screen is a good size, the camera is decent and the battery only has to be charged every 3-4 days, which is the best I've seen from the phones I've owned. Best of all, I love the fact that this phone can be locked and doesn't unlock when a text or call comes in, therefore there's no butt or purse dialing. 4/5 RealSoulMusicLover "blackbooksetc" (Virginia) - See all my reviews This review is from: LG Rumor Reflex Phone, Black (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I'm against paying for a data plan on principle, so I've never owned a smartphone.

  Motorola XPRT Android Phone (Sprint)

  Wireless (Motorola)
  

  Rating (5 reviews):

  (4.0/5)

  

  XPRT Overheats .. Sprint/Motorola please address issue!

  I am now on my 3rd XPRT phone. 1 had a bad speaker and 2 are overheating for no reason. Battery app has shown 115 degrees..now that's hot! No combination of app kills, battery pulls, restarts, or trying different batteries helps. Once the XPRT starts to run hot, it doesn't stop. The overheat is a known issue for the "sister" Droid Pro from Verizon. Check the internet...lots out there regarding the Droid Pro but very little regarding the XPRT since it is so new. I really like the phone but there is clearly an issue here that needs to be addressed. Motorola, please get this fixed! 1/5 TheLungMD - See all my reviews This review is from: Motorola XPRT Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I am now on my 3rd XPRT phone. 1 had a bad speaker and 2 are overheating for no reason.

  Wife loves her new Phone with a Blackberry feel

  I got this phone for my wife for the simple fact that my wife & I was tired of the radio and antenna issues with HTC phones and Samsung phones. The Nexus S 4g(which me and the wife had) was the last straw and I knew I needed to go to a tried and true manufacturer and one that is a master of a trade and not just a jack of a bunch of ones. Motorola may not have the so called flashy and smooth UI (even though I can't tell the difference who focuses so much on a UI)of HTC and Samsung. Motorola knows how to make a fucntional phone that gets good reception whether it be wi-fi,1G,2G,3G, or 4G. Forget the additional features a phone has to be able to make a call and keep a signal, without that it is a shiny useless paper weight. My wife is going to stay with Motorola since she needs a functional phone and not some shiny UI with features that don't work because her phone can't keep a signal.Pros:Reception with radios and antenna's is KingUI Plain and just does what is... 5/5 marcusj3000 (shreveport, louisiana United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Motorola XPRT Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I got this phone for my wife for the simple fact that my wife & I was tired of the radio and antenna issues with HTC phones and Samsung phones.

  Nice step up from BlackBerry Curve

  I'm really pleased with this phone. I bought it because I'm going to Paris in the Fall and wanted to be able to use it there. I especially like the combination of the qwerty keyboard and touchscreen. It seems to be better built than my BlackBerry. I had to have my Curve replaced and then worked on again. So far, no problems with the XPRT. 5/5 Hard to fool "addie" (Texas) - See all my reviews This review is from: Motorola XPRT Android Phone (Sprint) (Wireless Phone) I'm really pleased with this phone.
