LG AX260 Rumor - Green

The LG AX260 messaging phone sports a bar design that slides open to reveal a QWERTY text keyboard.

If you are looking for the convenience of a QWERTY keyboard without the hassle of a smartphone, then the LG Rumor might just be the thing for you. As successor to the LG F9200, the Rumor is an attractive handset with a hidden slide-out QWERTY keyboard plus a few advanced features like a megapixel camera, a music player, and Sprint Navigation support.

To describe the Rumor in one word, it would have to be, simple. Simplicity is beauty, as they say, the the LG Rumor certainly is a simple device which is very easy to use especially when sending text messages and e-mails. You can even access social networking sites like Facebook in just a couple of clicks. For messaging addicts, the Rumor is definitely for you.

It may not have the complete power of smartphones, but it makes up for its user-friendliness and ease of use. When looking at the LG Rumor, you can see a rather bulky candy-bar handset. It measures at around 4.3 inches by 2 inches by 0.7 inch. Its not very ergonomic and feels very bulky when placed in your pants pocket. It is a heavy device weighing in at 4.13 ounces.
