The LG Rumour 2 was released yesterday by Bell and Solo. There are a few differences with this model than the previous, noticeably the curves of the device and the directional pad has been changed. In addition on the keyboard they have added a designated emoticon key and dedicated directional left, right, up and down keys.
The LG Rumour 2 also has a 2-inch display with a resolution of 240 x 320. This can hold up to 16GB of memory with a MicroSD card. Current prices on Bell are: 3-year contract: $39.95; 2-year contract: $119.95; 1-year contract: $219.95 and Outright/Prepaid: $269.95. Solo also has this for $160 outright or $50 on a 2-year term.
Here is the unboxing… a review will be coming shortly:
The Rumour LG is my first mobile phone. It arrived this week as shown in your video except that the battery was packed separately. The phone did not come with an operating manual – just the quick start directions. So, ok, for set up but not particularly for indepth understanding of how to use. The manual (106 pages) on the Bell site is available from the Bell site but the print is incredibly small – better to download the pdf files and print from a computer.
I’m 60 and totally new to cellular technology although I do a lot of website editing etc. I was able to get the gist of how to use it and I am surprised of all that is packed into it. However the one downer for me is that I can’t get a strong enough signal (only 1 to 2 bars) – inside or out – to make/receive a clear call. I am in the middle of a large town – not out in the sticks so – this surprises me. I see that it has an internal antenna – wish it could be accessed to improve call quality.
There is one feature I wish they could add – some kind of notification to let me know when I am doing something that is a chargeable service. I used up almost all my initial $15 free credit but I only knowingly made one call. Newbies like me need a little yellow light so we know when we are doing something that we will be billed for!
All in all, I am happy with the LG Rumour and my first cell experience – if only I could make a clear call!
