The other day the Sheriff brought us the Fusic ll, we thought, yeah that’s nice, sorta upstagy, Sprint will most likely sell it like pancakes at iHop. But then through the magic of the internets, our little birdie drops the LG Messaging Slider on us. I can’t imagine that this will be the name when it hits the streets in Q4 07, but I can imgine it being a big hit for the number 3 US carrier, that is of course if they get it out first.
Sorry folks there aren’t too many details that we can bestow on you at the moment, but this is what we have so far:
Integrated Camera
Bluetooth
Slide out Qwerty
Micro SD
1xRTT
It looks like When this one hits it will be in $200 price point range, which of course should include all of the usual rebates. Like the Gandolf (Palm) The LG Messaging Slider is meant to appeal to the heavy texting crowd and will most likely include music downloading and Sprints PowerVision with EVDO speeds. I can’t say that I am seeing a wow factor here, but hey I’m a Treo guy. I can say it’s pretty good looking device. As always, as soon as we get more info we will get it out to you!

We do not have a date as of yet, but knowing Sprint, now that they know we know, they’ll get it out as soon as possible. The ony info we have is Q4 which is the last few months of the year. Which is coming up fast actually!
ANY OTHER COLORS????????????
When will this phone be available to buy…..Might have to replace my M1 for that one.
Sorry folk, can’t give you anymore details right now, but we are on top of this one as it is evident a lot of you are interested. The moment we get more details we will post it.
I’m gonna get this phone tomorrow!
The phone comes out nov. 1st and is available in black and silver I believe.
I cannot find this phone anywhere! It’s Dec. 2, so I would assume that it would be all over sprint.com by now; it’s not. I’m intrested in getting this phone. Please help:
Where can I get one?!?!!
Dylan, it’s called the LG Rumor and Sprint has been selling them since October. We’ve talked about it extensively here. Call or go to Sprint, I’m positive you won’t have a problem picking one up.
This pic of the Rumor up above is not the same as the Rumor in stores now? How can we get the version of the one above, is it only sold at select locations? Thanks
This site has a picture of the current LG Rumor that is out:

I dont know what that phone is pictured above
People, this pic is a story including the leaked photo in which we broke the coming of this device way back in June. The device came out in June, and is called the rumor. As stated in the above story, we new the name would change when it dropped.
Here is one of the many post we’ve done on the device: http://morningpaper.typepad.com/morning_paper/2007/09/sprints-lg-rumo.html
The Rumor is available in stores or online.
