Sprint re-launches LG Rumor, this time with more green

Between the Scoop and Rumor spectrums, Sprint has managed to find a color that LG's affordable text machine has yet to feature: green. The features carry over from its black and white stablemates -- yes, including the lack of EV-DO -- but the green model gets to revel in the clever St. Patrick's Day tie-in, which Sprint really plays up in its press release. Some of our favorite groaners:

• "Sham-rock it out with the built-in MP3 player"
• "Take pictures of...a Leprechaun sighting using the 1.3MP camera"
• "Check your stock quotes to see if you are 'in the green'"
• "Avoid getting pinched for not wearing green just by carrying the new Rumor by LG"

Yeah, you get the idea. Get the latest Rumor shade in a box of Lucky Charms in the Sprint store of your choosing for $49.99 on a two-year contract after rebates.

Why file this under EV-DO?

Every time I see this phone, I am amazed by the sheer number of buttons crammed onto it.

When my wife wanted to upgrade to a QWERTY phone we looked at this and was very disappointed. It truly is nothing more than you typical lower to mid-level handset with a keyboard. Ended up going with the Centro.

You have to understand that this phone isn't supposed to be anything
more than a simple phone that has a keyboard for texting. That's all,
lucky for me that's all i wanted, mine's coming tuesday.
