LG Rumor 2 definitely coming to Virgin Mobile

A few months ago, before we learned of the Virgin Mobile acquisition by Sprint, there were whispers that the LG Rumor 2 would hit the prepaid carrier. It got a couple of positive notes in the comments of that post, so those people are probably happy that this will happen. An Engadget Mobile reader picked it up in contest rules. Which, of course, you can enter if you want to win the Rumor 2.






The phone is already available at Radio Shack for $129.99.
It will be added for sale at Virgin’s website on October 27, 2009.

I bought the LG Rumor 2 from Virgin MObile. I seems that you can only get it through Radio Shack at this time. I want to say, its an awesome phone. I just love it. Its about time to get a real phone. I had the T-XC phone and it stunk. terrible reception and drop calls all the time. This phone is unbelieveable. Great signal no drop calls. I get many bars that I never got from thr T-XC phone. Its fast, super clear pictures, I can’t same nothing but great things. i was told by a rep from Radio Shack that we will start to see even better phone in the future coming our way for Virgin now that Sprint owns it. So far I am a happy customer with the LG Rumor 2. Ita about time to get a good phone from Virgin Mobile. Its worth the $129 I spent on it

@ Steve
Can you write a text longer than 160 characters on the Rumor 2 or is it like the other VM phones and stops writting the message at 160?
