  • I had this phone for a week and instantly wanted a newer phone. It's good for texting, emailing, and calling. If that's all you do with a phone then buy it if you don't want to pay a lot. And the camera isn't very good. Of course I'm speaking about a phone that came out in 2008 that was good back then. But now I wouldn't suggest buying it.

  • Where do i insert the memory card?

  • I think I'm gonna get this phone... I hate my rumor.

  • This phone doesn't suck I had it and I'm getting it again

  • awww i remember i had this phone in 10th grade lol was so excited to finaly get a phone with a KEYBOARD xD

    i just graduated this year i have a blackberry now but man ohm an memories iwht this phone...considering when it came out, it really wasnt that bad. times have changed though lol

  • I'm sure gonna be "Ranting" On this phone. xD

  • i only need the phone for unlimited text , is this phone good for texting and taking pictures ? thats all im really gonna do with a phone(: Comment back asap(:

  • fuckin hate this phone

  • i had this phone. i loved it

  • You could get a much better phone than this. The only positive I see is the Keyboard. Everything else is just, mediocre.

  • @GTRv96 I think the Rant was originally designed for basic use.

  • Can u us gps

  • Some times when go online on the phone it freezes and wont move. Then it will vibrate and got to the main menu. but other than that I love it. I like to custimize it buy downloading ringtones and screen savers.

  • i hate how he is  reading a script

  • iv had this phone 4 2 years, i really liked it at first, but then after 2 years! i needed a new 1... it crashed WAY 2 MANY times!!! ima get the SAMSUNG Intercept... my contracts due this month so goodbye RAT!...

    (side note 4 people looking 4 a mesging fone, i recomend this 1... itZz easy 2 use nd after 2 years youl hate it and want to get a better 1 so yeah)

  • I hated this phone so stinkin much !!!! It was terrible !!!!!!! I now have the epic which I just got and it's AMAZING !!!

  • dat keyboards cock-eyed 0:34

  • i have this phone it suck balls Im doesn't work and it crashes alot

  • I've had this shit forever, as people said, it calls people randomly in your pocket. My contract expires sometime this month, I'm upgrading to a HTC Evo 4G. :D

  • God, I've had this phone for two years, I hate it. I butt-call people all the damned time and it turns on by itself.

  • I had one of these phones, its terrible.

  • Sexy Hands!

  • I have this phone, it butt dials a lot and it turns off by it's self sometimes. Other then that it's awesome. I love the lay out of the text messaging. The battery can last up to about a day unless you call someone, calling someone can take a lot of battery. Hope I helped.

  • @LaughALotSeries Isnt this fone for boostmobile also? If so how much duz it cost?

  • i have it my contract expires in two days so fuck this phone. i hate it

  • My contract expires in February and im soo excited to get a new phone after 2 years of having that cheap piece of crap.

  • Ive had this phone for 2 years Its too durable! Horibal battery life... Worst phone ever!

  • i have this phone. it SUCKS BALLS. it freezes all the time, the locking system sucks, and it's so busy looking and cluttered.

    one thing i do like is the way the keyboard is set up, & it has an okay camera.

    but overall, it sucks.

  • does the camera have flash?

  • @masterded101 nooope.

  • ive had to get 4 new rants in the past few weeks. The last ones screen just stopped working after about 2 hours of use being brand new. terrible phone, the sprint store let me upgrade because they were sick of working on it and ordering new ones for me.

  • this phone is ok and is a lot better than the rumor and some other messaging phones. music is good, texting is great, camera is ok, and web browser is pretty fast. tv is jerky and low quality, and video recording is horrible, but it is a good phone. nothing compared to something like the epic 4g though.

  • Get the lg rumor touch, great phone. 

  • @monkeypenios I FUCKING HATE THAT PHONE FUCK THE LG RUMOR TOUCH GET THE SAMSUNG TRENDER! ITS SO FUCKING BETTER THAN THE LG RUMOR TOUCH!

  • ur terrible at reviews ur boering

  • Wowwww, Am I the only one that likes this phone?

    The down side is that the pic quality is kinda bad,

    but other than that, it's super awesome. :)

  • @skatergirl31548 Thanks, im totally getting this phone!!

    X-o-X-<3

  • @Beauteous21

    We'll have the same phones, sweett. :)

    have fun with it. :D

    I know I do.

  • @skatergirl31548 Thanks! XD

  • This phone sucks. The battery doesn't even last me a day, I've yet to get a personal ringtone, it loves to turn off when I flip it out to a keyboard, the U button doesn't work, I don't get internet (Thank you mom and dad), and the camera is terrible. Do. Not. Get. This. Phone. Seriously. I've had it for almost two years now, and I'm dying for my upgrade.

  • I need an expert. Is there anyone knows which one is better "Samsung Rant vs.

    LG Rumor?" I am getting LG Rumor on monday. Right now I got Samsung Rant.

  • @vincastrillo The Samsunq Rant is wayy better accordinq to mi research... i have the Lg Rumor 2 and its okay but not much i can do with it.

  • I will have LG Rumor on monday replacing my Samsung Rant. After I have read the differences in between phones. I think I will keep my Rant and dealt with it. The LG Rumor is older than rant and the Rant has more features just got to learn how to operate... The Rant has video cam, and multiple contact meaning you can send; Text--pix--video to multiple different contacts at once..

  • butt dials...

    dont put it next to your ass Rofl.

    put it in your front pocket.

    does it dickdial also?

    the menu and video make up for limited pocket selection rofl ^ ^

    i put my phone in my front pockets only anyways.

  • get the rumor 2 its awesome

  • this phone fuckin sucks i got rid of it last week im getting the lg rumor touch

  • I HATE this phone! don't get it!

    it butt dials everyone and sometimes even just on its own

    and you have to keep relocking it to keep it locked! :(

    ugh i hate it

  • are yu kidding i loves my rant :) i got unlimited everythign an its worken great

  • is this phone better or the samsung s30 instinct?

  • i hate this fone

  • USE OTHER TRASITION WORDS!!!! ISTEAD OF HOWEVER 50 times say also, but then again, another thing gahh

  • @BaldovinosMexico17  I saw that about Boost, how is the web on this phone? Can you watch youtube w / it ?

    Sent from my BlackBerry® by Boost Mobile

  • @Avatarblackwolf The Rant will only come out in red, on boost mobile. Web is fine nothing special, I dont believe it can go on youtube but I'm not sure.

  • @BaldovinosMexico17 yes u can watch and get utube

  • @BaldovinosMexico17 im pretty sure u can im on boost and i got the sanyo incognito and i watch youtube vids all the time and the incognito is 129 and the samsung is 149

  • I've had this phone for a year now, and it's really not as bad as everyone says. I love the keypad, it's great for texting! And if anyone tells you the Rant is a "cheap" phone, they lied. My phone has gotten wet TWICE and it still works. I love my Rant, but I will be getting a new phone soon.

  • @iLoveSDTV ive had my rant 2 years and ive dropped it in a pool twice and it is still running strong. im upgrading to a pixi tmorow though:) i will miss the great qwerty though:(

  • My frieend has this phone , && she hatess ittt ! LMAO. && I'm veryy confused herr rant is prepaid ! :/ WTF ?

  • ive had this phone for 6 months...

    HUGE PROBLEMS --> pocket dials on a daily basis because it doesnt go on hold half the time. sends texts to random people.

    my friends get pissed at me when i pocket dial now... thanks alot samsung lol

  • i have had this phone for like a year and ive dropped it so many times and it still hasnt torn up, its like full metal. and its so easy to text on.

  • omg i hate mine! ive had it butt dial my friend 15 times in 5 minutes!!! that and the volume randomly turns on or off at will, it has annoying fearures like the tials,i hate using them there pointless to me, not a good fone DONT BUY IT!!! your going to regret it! lol

  • @musicismylife219 my rant went on in finals because it went to my operator, went on speaker, and switched to spanish

  • im getting tired of sprints carosel operating system

  • Wow wow wow wait..why do I only have 6 apps? Some1 help? Plz

  • yup mine does the same thing lol

  • it's gotta be nicer than the lg rumor 2 right??

  • DON'T GET THIS PHONE!! it sucks ass. It freezes up just like the Rumor. It'll turn on and off by itself..and lose all your memory. if you download 1 thing on it it will lose all it's memory!! then you have to delete it. texting on it sucks because the words pop up slower then what you text. It's NOT 3G. It's a waste of money, I'm getting a BlackBerry Curve.

  • is this a good phone. what are the bad things about it. somone tell me everything cus i have a instinct and i think its better than this ^.^

  • i have this phone in blue, its straight

    i mean if yu like to text and make phone calls this phone is sweet as fuck

    but yu like to mess around like an iphone

    you'll think that this phone sucks dick

  • too late i already got the rumor 2

  • me too

  • It's NOT 3g I have it.

  • how is the texting on this phone?

  • @Animepwnsnoob I love it,

  • i have this phone in red and it sux. it freezes up and i always have to restart it. i hate it so much!!!!!!!!!1

  • @etutorial Have you tried updating yoru phone? Both PRL and Firmware?

  • @Ratezable no i havent but i have to wait till i get i new one i dropped the one i had in the toilet by accident

  • i have this phine in red

  • dont get this phone it butt dials and the locking system sucks

  • i have this phone in read and it doesnt do all that

  • Is there a voice recorder in the samsung rant? If there is, can u tell me how to record songs on it? I would appreciate it.

  • @SelenaGomezfan252 it's under tools and it's called voice memos. you cant use it as a ringtone though.

  • Sadly, voice memos are only limited to 1 minute (meaning you can only record for 1 minute). I think it would be better to put songs on the phone by SD card rather than to record it?

  • i hate this phone so much its always butt calling turns off all the time freezez way to much ends my calls alot when i have great signal i am telling u know get a different cellphone am getting rid of this peice of shit wensday for a htc hero :)

  • good phone

  • this phone sucks it always calls people when i have it in my pocket

  • I sometimes have the same problem.

  • this phone is without a doubt the worst phone for pocket dialing ive ever used. Also the low batter noise you cant even hear the person talking. Its the last call u can make but its not worth making because of the beeping. I guess alot of phones are guilty of this. The unlocking in the pocket thing really just drives me nuts though. All my numbers get changed around its sending emails and shit while im just going about my business working.

  • @emutiny i totally agree wit you..i just got it and itll be in my pocket and all of a sudden ill hear it calling someone ! its probably the worst thing about it!

  • i have this phone and if i dont put it on lock it does that 2 me 2 i like the phone but the problem i have with it is that if i put it on lock then put it in my pocket it gets hot 4 some reason

  • @crazystuff2000 Uhh, the hotness is probably from your body heat.

  • This phone is okay, yet I don't suggest it. I have to get used to it though. Dang contracts I:

  • i liked this phone when i had it.. i mean my phone didnt take years to get messages. and i have internet and e verything, and i reallyl ike the 1touch thing, i had myspace,youtube,facebook and a textm,essaging button in my carousel.. not to mention i dropped it everyday for like a year and it never fucked me over. yeah it froze up a few times but it was still tolerable. ..i got a new one though last week, blackberry touuur :)))

  • i have this phone and it's pretty shitty, especially when you don't have internet for it. you can't add ringtones to it unless you have internet, and it recieves texts extremely late sometimes. me and a friend tested this by having him text me while i was sitting next to him. i got the text ten minutes later. it totally fucks up a conversation. for example, right now i'm texting someone and she has no idea what i'm talking about because i'm getting everything three minutes after they were sent

  • long comment is long

  • You know, I'm thinking that's just a problem with Sprint. I have some random, generic Sanyo phone on Sprint, and my phone does that exact thing. I absolutely hate getting messages ten minutes after they were sent. It's the worst because like you said, it kills a conversation.

  • WORST. PHONE. EVER. I'm getting rid of it today. I hate this piece of shit so much.

  • @haven00 y do it suck?

  • @haven00 whys that i was about to get one for boost mobile?

  • Comment removed

  • @NAWFSIDESOLDIER because it freezes up constantly. The screen will also randomly go black and not come back on.The phone will sometimes start vibrating for no reason and wont stop till you take the battery out. Those are just some of the problems I had with mine.

  • @haven00 i was thinkin about gettin one for boost mobile tho but idk what to say

  • @NAWFSIDESOLDIER I would say...no. I'm sure they have another phone that is similar a lot better than this one.

  • @haven00 WHAT ABOUT IT ON BOOST MOBILE

  • @NAWFSIDESOLDIER dont get it i have and it sucks

  • @haven00 i know dude wtf its so go dude im breaking it and switching it for the samsung epic

  • This phone rocks and if its turnren on and off on it own that meens that somethings wrong with your phone and if you got the insurence you can get a brand new one for free

  • yes it does freezes! Mine just froze 2day, and sometimes it turns on and off by its self!

    and now it won't turn back on!

  • my rant broke yesterday s im gettin the samsung exclaim for free :)

  • the rant is a good fone and nothing has gone wrong

  • Took a light fall, ear speaker broken!!

  • do not get this phone. it is glitchy and freezes. it doesn't have an outbox for texts even though it says it does, so you'll be re-typing a lot of texts when they fail to send. the browser it comes with is a joke, you can't scroll sideways so you can't read anything. opera mini doesn't work on it unless you use a really old version. the only thing good about the rant is the keyboard is nice.

  • dont listen 2 him!! my neighbor has this phone and its the best it does not freeze or get glitchy take my word 4 it!!

  • You said it! piece of @#$!

  • im getting this phone today (:

  • I'm gettting this phone tommorow. i'm so happy.this is a great phone

  • the samsung exclaim is a lot better

  • idk where u get these prices from the sprint ppl say i have 2 get a new 2 year plan with when i buy any new phone in this case it would cost me 239.05 and that with my "upgrade discount" of -75$ really if there is a cheaper way to do this i'd love to know

  • i have a rumor but i is damaged so it is getting replaced with a rant.. is it really way better like people say?

  • yes it is

  • fuck yea it is

  • Ok just so im not comfuse the Samsung M540 is the SAME thing as the rant right?

  • to bad the rumor sucks

  • Nice phone, but within 2 months of getting one my screen was cracked, and no, I didn't drop it.

  • so how did the screen crack?

  • No idea. I didn't drop it, and it was in a belt case. My only guess is I must have leaned against something and the phone was in the way. Basically I took it out of its case and the screen was cracked.

  • i got my rant for free cuz i bought it at sams club and said that if u open up a new line u get the samsung rant for free

  • when you yext does it show your text like in i.m form??

  • its a great phone so far it hasnt frozen on me and ive had it for 6 months
