Sprint today officially announced the LG Rumor2. The device is unchanged from our previous reporting, and Sprint has also confirmed our exclusive report of the March 15 launch date.
PhoneNews.com was the first to report the LG Rumor2′s existence. The device will be available on Sunday at Best Buy stores, as well as from Sprint.com. Both colors (Black Titanium and Vibrant Blue) will be available in all retail channels by the end of April.

That is a launch for Telesales and online. Retail launch will be April.
Oh right, and being that it still isn’t EV-DO, who cares?
My wife has the original rumor and doesn’t care that it doesn’t do EV-DO. She only makes calls and sends text messages. She doesn’t even have a data plan. Not everybody cares about super-fast data access.
Yes, I know. And not everyone knows what it can do for them. For instance it would just be nice to have EV-DO for downloading software updates or sending picture mail.
But at this point the Rumor 2 really isn’t an upgrade to the original.
“The device is unchanged from our previous reporting” if by unchanged you mean 1.3mp camera instead of 2.0. still not clear whether this phone is EV-DO or 1xRTT. the fact sheet makes mention of NFL mobile live audio and video, but all the images show the “Vision” download/upload arrows, not “Power Vision.”
sprint. another shitty little phone. give me the touch pro2 and dont make me do that everything plan bs like the palm pre. i did the math im better off buying the phone off ebay than getting a new contract with features i dont want. DONT BE LIKE AT&T! give people affordable cell phone plans.
