  • I actually hate the fact that it has a qwerty keyboard & a regular keypad at the same time.. I just don't see the sense in that... :/

  • I looooooved this phone. I don't know why. It wasn't even that good, but at the time when I had it I thought it was awesome.

  • did you say it was a dual slider thats wrong a dual slider would be like the samsung exclaim!

  • Had this phone for like two years upgrading to the EVO Shift : )

  • @djjobbie1 Me too! Would you recommend the EVO Shift?

  • I looked online and this phone costs $119.99 not $49.99.

  • @BigMrJuarez i live in tn && at best buy its 49.99. i'm acctully gonna buy it 2marrow.

  • @thesexiestbabe1991 Ok. I see it now. Sprint has this phone for $49.99 and Boost Mobile has it for $119.99. Cool phone.

  • @BigMrJuarez...i have it now...lol best buy had it on sale...for 49.99...&& i love it..the downside is it will pocket dial if you dont lock it back...other than that its been a awesome phone.(:

  • does the rant have an alarm clock? and calculator? hows the battery life? hows the calling and texting quality?

  • @MrRaider1902 Yes, it has those functions..... The battery lasted me about 3-4 days with average use..... I liked the Rant's keyboard more than the LG Rumor and my current Rumor Touch b/c the Rant's keys are rubberized and provides better tactical feedback IMO. Although, I think that LG has better calling quality in my personal experience.

    Hope this helps you out! =)

  • @KACEYSHADOW not everyones phone does that dumbass i got a new phone and it hasant happend to me once just this piece of shit i use to have.

  • its a good phone, especially for messaging, but its so dang heavy! if a phone is that heavy it should be a touch screen, but other than that its worth the money.

I luv it! :) The battery life is 5 hours! but mine is dead right now. lol. i'm not to good at charging things. lol. and the keyboard is really good! i dont really like the space key though. its like 2 keys in one, so when you try to press the middle of it, it wont work. but maybe its cuz i use my finger nails to type. but other than that its amazing! and i like that you can have your horoscope on it! :D

  • i have an LG Rumor from sprint, ((i got it October 4th, 2008)) And it was amazing. i loved everything about it! The QWERTY keyboard, how smootht the screen changed when i slid open the keyboard. BUT NOW....NOW THE SCREEN KEEPS TURNING WHITE AND IT TURNS ITSELF ON AND OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

    what is going on? 6months and my phone is DYING?! HELP?

  • i just got a samsung rant yesterday. i LOVE it

  • mine came with msn..

    a very ghetto one, but msn nonetheless.

    i want aim on it, but it doesnt look like ill get it, lol :(

  • how can msn be ghetto... u are very ignorant

  • I'm hardly ignorant. I also have a blackberry, and there's a ghetto, crappy version of MSN on this phone (the samsung). That's hardly ignorant, it's stating the truth.

  • lol.. hardly??

    i have a question tho? how can an msn thing be ghetto? do u know what ghetto means??

  • Maybe if you saw the version of MSN that's on it you'd understand. constantly freezing, not working, nothing like any MSN version I've seen it's a piece of crap compared to other phones I've seen with a fabulous version
