Not missing a beat, the modern and sleek Fusic by LG features a built-in media player as well as a microSD memory port. With this combination, you can store tons of songs on the included microSD card and even listen to them in stereo sound with a Bluetooth headset or by transmitting them to an FM receiver! Add in power features like high-speed EvDO connectivity, and you will find yourself watching streaming TV, instantly downloading songs and playing multiplayer games all at broadband-like speed

The sleek and slim LX160 combines pure class with pure convenience. With Bluetooth technology, you can talk hands-free and get organized by sending calendar events and contacts to family and friends. Add a one-touch speakerphone and a dedicated text messaging key and you can quickly stay in touch. Always on the move? Use voice-activated dialing to make your most frequent calls without even lifting a finger. Now thats a snap!

Muziq all the way; I'd rather have this than a phone AND mp3 player, one less thing in my pocket, plus the FM transmitter is pretty swank.

"Text it, share it, play it... Rumor has it! What happens when you combine a full QWERTY keyboard, music player, 1.3 megapixel camera and Bluetooth technology? Rumor has it... You'll catch up on gossip when you're on the go, and text your friends fast to keep in the "know"! The camera's for pics to snap, show and share, and listen to your favorite music anywhere!"

Sounds great, but the phone does not stay on.

You'll catch up on gossip when you're on the go - although you'll miss the messages because the phone shuts off in your pocket for no reason and without any warning.

text your friends fast to keep in the "know"! - not really all that fast when you factor in the time needed for the phone to freeze up and then completely restart.

The camera's for pics to snap, show and share - but the pictures are dark and difficult to see and the slow data connection ensures that the picture will take a while to get there and the phone usually shuts down while sending.

listen to your favorite music anywhere! - if you don't mind the music skipping and stopping randomly...you can use headphones but first you'll need to buy some with the smaller jack (can't use your iPod ear buds) and the sound is not in stereo.

Qwerty Keyboard = awesome feature.

Phone's ability to perform all these actions = fail.

[from SBrewer]

The rumor is awesome but you can't listen to music and text.

[from mattf007]

Contrary to what he says the rumor doesn't freeze up. It works fine.

LG lotus big time

[from dragonmaster22]

I too would say the LG Lotus LX600 is a great choice. When I first saw it, I thought it was a little odd looking. Not impressive. But it's a stealthy little phone. It actually looks like a miniature laptop. And as I've gotten to use it more and more, I'm appreciating it a lot. It's the best phone I've ever owned. I'm glad I didn't saddle myself with a "smart phone" like the iPhone or Blackberry. The Lotus lets you do what you need to with half the bulk!

[from xevious]

This Was My First Phone And I LOVE IT! I Dont Want Another One. BUT My Camera BrokeAnd I Cant Find Anyone Who Can Fix It Or Anywhere Thats Still Selling Them (New Or Old). Anyone Know Where I Could Go And What To Do???

[from biteme1388]

^^I Was Talking About The Muziq Phone^^ (Oops)

[from biteme1388]

Should expand the choices... the Lotus is a noteworthy phone to consider.

[from xevious]

Fusic and Music thumbs up Rumor thumbs down

[from chipwheels]

I've been using the Rumor for a couple of months now. I love it over my old phone, but it's got a couple of drawbacks that I'd like to see fixed: 1. The Media player does not allow for good organization of the MP3 files. I've put a long list of files on it into separate folder, but the Rumor just lists them as one long list--no folder organization. Makes it impossible to select specific files for playing. I wanted the folder functionality to be able to group my MP3 files. 2. BitPim does not yet support the Rumor. It'd be nice if someone at LG or Sprint would give the developers at BitPim a hand in building the interface for Bitpim. 3. The built-in camera is rather crappy: - Forget low-light conditions. Photos come out horrible, if at all. - shutter doesn't take the picture right away--there's about a 1 second delay from the time you press the button to the time it takes the picture. Horrible for taking shots of uncoroporative subjects--such as pets. In other words, if getting a camera with the phone is important to you--forget about getting a Rumor. Some of the features I really like include: --The fact that it plays MP3 files--this was my main reason for selecting this phone. --the QWERTY keyboard. Even though I don't use it for Texting, I do use it for keeping notes, creating schedules, or updating contacts. I hate using a numeric keypad for text. As simple a design it is to hide the keyboard in the slide-out--I'd suggest that this feature would be a great benefit on all phones.

[from rjudge]

Just read the previous posts about the Rumor freezing up--if this happens to you, update the firmware. There was a bug that cause the Rumor to do this, but the latest firmware update fixes this issue. If you don't have a data plan, you might try going into a Sprint store to see if they'll update the firmware without cost.

[from rjudge]

Having the worst experience with the LG Lotus LX600 display goes blank after 2-5 weeks been sent refurbished phones and the same problem with all three. Waiting on the 4th to arrive soon. The phone is not worth the money in my book.

[from MichelleZ]

Lg Lotus all the way. Loved it right out of the box. First one went swimming so i had to get a new one. New one is refurb and acts funky once and a while, but over all good. I just wish Pandoria worked on it. No real app lib. to speak of either. Other than that, phone is great. If the IPhone, G1, Pre, or Blackberry is too much stuff in a phone for you, look at the Lotus.

[from Efreaq]

Definitly not the Lotus as the screens go bad and LG refuses to aknowledge the problem. I dont plan on ever buying and LG phone again.

[from Lea]

LG is aware of the issue and we are working on finding a resolution.

[from LG Product Pro]

i really love the rumor but now that i have to back it up to my pc i'm starting to think twice because noone seems to know how to do it...

[from natmusic]

I love my Lotus. As for LG working on the screen problem, when they fix it, what do all the users get for having to pay out-of-pocket for replacement phones. I don't know about the rest of the users, but $50 every time the screen dies get old fast. One other thing, can we get hooked up with pandora, please.

[from Efreaq]

all lg phones r just right any 1 but sprint is a cheater they will cheat u like it aint nothin watch them 1 time my bill was 500 dollars and i asked them y was my bill that high and they told me wel you've been talkin and i said no my texting if free cuz that wat they had told me then they said no we didnt tell u that so i switch to tmobile the best company evaa or verizon wirless good teams

[from shaina'licious]

I have the Lotus Elite (LX610) and I love it to death. I also second the posters wondering if we can get the Pandora app. My only real gripe about the Elite so far is the lack of a decent app library. Any chance of us Elite users getting some decent ones, or at least a timeframe for the Pandora app? I see the regular Lotus users have the same question as well.

[from phoenix62483]

I would hope we'll get some apps out there... I'll try to let the Forum know if I hear of anything coming up.

[from LG Product Pro]

I have to vote for my Lotus Elite love it, Pictures flip camera convenience in navigating thou menu, easy text, email and social buttons. But I still think the Muziq lx570 was the best it ran more apps and had FM transmission I still use my wife's to use Pandora and Live Search. Albert

[from alaurey]

Great Comment, Thanks for the input.

[from LG Product Pro]

The Lotus Elite...Hands down. Its not shaped like any other phone.....Very unique

[from mamamal]

Muziq, by far the best

the rumor touch has been a huge hit

[from ThinkLGRep-cb7pzkmxoabwfle7]

The rumor touch is where it is at now. Touch screen plus doesnt have as many problems with the ribbon so kudos!!

[from tweSprint]

My mom went from a curve to a rumor 2 and loves it. As far as my store goes it's pretty even between the Remarq and the Rumor Touch but the Remarq is definitely the most returned phone at my store, and not just between LG's.

That's not good... WHat issues are you seeing?

[from LG Product Pro]

I have the LG Rumor Touch. While it is probablly worth the $30 (assuming I get my $50 rebate) it is not worth much more. This phone has several problems when it comes to pictures and videos.

1. Pictures and videos can not be sent from the File Manager. This is the only place I can see and play videos in separate folders.

2. Videos on the SD card are NOT recognised when they are in different folders like pictures are at the My Pictures and Videos on the Main Menu.

3. The Slide Show does not work because the files are not displayed in the order they are in the File Manger.

4. The Toolbar Magnifyer does not work at all, as far as I can tell. There seems to be no way zoom in or out on web sites. My old LG CU920 could do this easily.

5. This phone is for Lefties only. The key board, while nice, pops out on the wrong side for right handers.

Like I said, it is worth $30.

I had to sign into this form with a different name & password. It did not accept my original login info, for some reson.

Searching the manual I discovered what I thought was the magnifyer is a search button. The phone has no magnifyer, as far as I know. Maybe it is not worth the $30 after all.

[from JCB3]

my mom has the original lotus which she loves, however after a little over 2 years it is wearing down. The biggest problem is the batter life now. At current pricing, I can get her a phone cheaper that a battery. Anyone have any suggestions fora phone that is not touch screen, but has a full keyboard? Also looking at lotus elite, does anyone know if you can disable the touch screen?

Thanks

Lack of some features like being able to watch youtube. Some reps say customers buy it then do a 30 day to a nicer phone later. Haven't seen many specific complaints about either. Personally I don't like the lag of the touchscreen on the Rumor Touch but I was spoiled by my old Treo 700P. The Touch doesn't feel quick enough or responsive all the time like I require.

The Lotus Elite has been a huge seller with my customers

[from ThinkLGRep-cb7pzkmxoabwfle7]

Oh and i predict that the Optimus S is going to be a huse success, i have a waiting list for it due to the delays,and with Android 2.2 out the box how many newly released devices can claim that. i think it will be a huge seller.

[from ThinkLGRep-cb7pzkmxoabwfle7]

I couldn't be happier with my Optimus. It's been referred to as an "entry-level" Android phone, and I partly agree; but it's really a solid, well-built, fine device.

[from JCSanders]

Lotus Elite and Rumor Touch the most by far... We've had a lot of people looking at the Optimus, but not a lot of buyers yet. We'll see what happens after Black Friday.

[from ThinkLGRep-ahx8jjslob9ufyc4]

i find that the rumor touch is the best phone by far!!!

[from david k]

The LG Optimus is the BEST LG phone I've EVER seen! Love it!! Thanks for giving us everything we wanted straight out of the box! You definately anticipated our every need!

[from LG_Tweaker]

well at my store everyone preffered the rumor touch but since the optimous s came out that seems to be an lg hit everyone wants it!

did is simple the LG OPTIMUS!!!!

[from ThinkLGRep-ixbwwam5guofysdb]

or it is the LG Lotus ELITE

[from ThinkLGRep-ixbwwam5guofysdb]

The phone that i have seen sold the most is the LG rumor touch for sprint. no phone has been sold out for that long

[from ThinkLGRep-ixbwwam5guofysdb]

optimus

[from ThinkLGRep-Craig]

Definitely the optimus. It is definitely a runner up to the 4G phones. Offering the only Hotspot option for a 3G phone. This is one of two phones I recommed to our customers not looking to get a 4G phone. This is a great phone especially for the money. Good job LG.

[from ThinkLGRep-9zwqd45rnvlyfz3m]

The LG Optimus S

[from ThinkLGRep-apd8zp16062uhy9t]

I like the optimus. Nice android operating system with a decent size to fit in a purse or pocket.

[from ThinkLGRep-hqakx73n51dx2zyq]

Optimus is a good choice

[from ThinkLGRep-5tr1yb7rk120vflz]

Optimus S, the best non-4G Android phone we carry... the only one I would recommend.

[from Sprint-Justin]

Definitely the Upstage!

[from ThinkLGRep-lr1bau8i6btzxk4q]

The LG Optimus S is bye far my favorite LG device to date. The lotus is a distant 2nd.

LG Optimus!
