I've had this phone for over a year now. I take care of my phones and it is still in great condition appearance wise. However it likes to turn itself off, the keyboard stops working at times and the T9 texting on the front is ridiculously slow. And the vibration alert is wearing down and doesnt work as well as it used to. Pick a different phone. Too many problems with the Rumor.
I have this phone for like almost a year now. The phone to mi is type boring. There isnt really anything interesting about it. If your a textually active person then this is the phone for you. But if you like music phones it is not because when you play the music u have to stay on the app that it is on and can't text or something without stopping the music.
