Today Sprint officially launched the LG Rumor, a fully-featured device designed to help you stay connected. While not compatible with Sprint's high-speed EV-DO network, the LG Rumor still sports Bluetooth for wireless connections and offers a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for convenient messaging or email. The display is a 2.0" 262k color TFT, 176x220 pixel resolution screen with 3D graphics support for gaming. The LG Rumor is a bit hefty, weighing in at 116g (4.1oz) and measuring 109.5mm x 63mm x 18mm (4.3" x 2.0" x 0.7").

Multimedia support on the LG Rumor includes a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording. A microSD card slot with support for capacities up to 4GB allows users to easily load the LG Rumor up with music or videos, as well. This device is also loaded with several helpful applications such as a notepad, world clock, tip calculator, and countdown timer, among others. The LG Rumor is also capable of running the Telenav GPS Navigator application for voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions. The mobile web browser on the LG Rumor allows you access to the mobile internet, including sites like Facebook.

The LG Rumor will be available on October 21st from Sprint.com and Best Buy retail outlets with pricing set at $79.99 with a 2 year contract, after a mail-in rebate. Sprint retail locations will begin offering the Rumor on November 4th. The Rumor will be available in black with a blue keyboard or white with a silver keyboard. The black version of the LG Rumor sports a soft-touch outer coating for extra grip.
