If you’re tired reading about the same old smartphones, and we phrase that carefully, perhaps a messaging phone may help diversify your current collection? If so, the LG Rumor Touch will help fill the void well. Designed to be a touchscreen, messaging-heavy device, it will come in handy for the plenty of texting and emailing that you will be doing.

CNET writes, “The LG Rumor Touch has a unique text-messaging-friendly interface, plus it has a five-row QWERTY keyboard. It also has EV-DO Rev. 0, GPS, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack, e-mail, and easy access to social network sites. Call quality is great as well.”

However, “The LG Rumor Touch’s keyboard layout could be improved, and the photo quality is average.”

In conclusion, “The LG Rumor Touch is a touch-screen messaging phone from Sprint with a user interface that makes text messaging a breeze.”
