I'm switching over to Sprint and can't decide - Rumor or Rant?? What is the difference?? This is my first "fancy" phone.
 
I would not use Sprint if it was the only phone available. They swindled me and several others I have talked to and I think it is a really lousy company. That is my 2 cents.. for what it is worth.
 
The Rant is the newer version. It has a better camera and a bigger screen. Plus, it has the Sprint TV option. We looked at these because I really wanted a Rumor when it came out, but after I "accidentally" washed my LG phone, I ended up with the Lotus.
 
LOL I thought you were referring to categorizing your thread. KWIM? :)

Ha Ha. That's true!

I ended up with the Rant because I couldn't decide and it was late and I wanted to get it done last night. I think I like the look of it better anyway.
