      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;godgirl317 submitted this review of the LG Rumor2 / Cosmos / Banter / UX-265 / Script:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am not an avid cell phone user, so I just wanted to buy a simple phone that I could use for texting and calling without all the bells and whistles.  The Cosmos is exactly that, but cooler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;- Very handy slide out QWERTY keyboard with larger than average buttons and clear print&lt;br /&gt;- Good sound quality and good volume, on both regular calls and speaker phone&lt;br /&gt;- Long battery life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;- You have to push three buttons to unlock the phone before you can answer it, BUT that is simply overcome by just sliding out the keypad, which automatically answers on speaker phone.&lt;br /&gt;- Email/Facebook/apps/etc are not available for use unless you purchase a data package (but those are the bells and whistles that I wasn't interested in anyway)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would strongly recommend this phone for anyone who wants a simple, good quality, easy-to-use phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;VagSmasher submitted this review of the LG Rumor2 / Cosmos / Banter / UX-265 / Script:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had the LG Banter for 2 years and I never had a problem with it until I dropped it about a million times. My fingers flew over the keyboard, and the menus were so easy I could do just about anything without even looking at my phone. The camera was all right, for a phone. I could download free ringtones off Myxer, surf the web, and steal photos off the internet to use as wallpapers. The only problem I ever had with it came after dropping it repeatedly (it still survived a years worth more drops than any other phone I've ever had) and then the texting would get screwy and repeat letters. I was extremely disappointed when it finally completely broke and I had to get an Intensity 2 (Banter is discontinued) and I honestly dislike the Intensity 2. Way less features and the keyboard does not make sense. I would give anything to have my Banter back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: web surfing is very easy, and phone supports free ringtones&lt;br /&gt;-texting is a breeze with the keyboard&lt;br /&gt;-huge photo memory&lt;br /&gt;-survived probably 10 falls down a flight of cement stairs at my old job&lt;br /&gt;-to message or call a contact you just had to type in the first few numbers of their name and it would pop up, without having to go to contacts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: texting on the front buttons is nearly impossible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, a great phone! People who complain about it probably have a defective phone and has nothing to do with the model.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

But after a couple weeks it wouldnt hold a charge. Come to find out the charge port was broken, also my texts would go under the wrong names, and the words would be scrabbled. So i thought maybe i need a new phone. So i order one and the first day the 9 on the keypad wouldnt work, so i had 2 phones in one went through 2 phones within a week. Then the final had a little water damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros-&lt;br /&gt;very good for texting&lt;br /&gt;good on service&lt;br /&gt;good memory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons-&lt;br /&gt;turned on and off frequently&lt;br /&gt;scrambled texts&lt;br /&gt;bad charge ports&lt;br /&gt;messed up buttons&lt;br /&gt;battery drains quickly&lt;br /&gt;on recall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dont get me wrong was a good phone&lt;br /&gt;but still not that great&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

We ended up buying an LG Cosmos for her and right of the bat it was not impressive. Yes, its the most economical way to message on the go and fills a need, but these are some things that could have been better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Slider is definitely too loose. It would slide open too easily and you could feel it when talking on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The phone cycled on its' own so many times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. It would get stuck on menus or would not move quickly thru menus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Sound quality for the earpiece could have been better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Placement of keys is not intuitive and neither are then menus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Camera is an embarrassment!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Keys felt cheap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Good screen quality&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. That's about it......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had the phone swapped out and most of the issues persisted.  So we ed up leaving our carrier.  LG really did not perform well on this one.  They have much better phones and we felt as if they just put something out to cover a gap or an order.  Not much thought went into this phone. Sorry LG, we're disappointed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

There are a few things I don't like.  It has been losing reception lately and I think it is just wearing out.  My call timer is 532:53:59.  I am considering getting a used phone on ebay to replace it since this one is able to connect my laptop to the internet over bluetooth (112kbps) at no charge.  Originally my provider said it would not work, but it does!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

My daughter and I saw the BANTER and thought it was a really cool phone at a very good price and they kept selling out  ( this was over 2 years ago ) we finally got ours at the Alltel store, it had nice new features and at first we loved it and were impressed - THEN we started to use it and it is the worst phone anyone in my household has ever owned! If your on a call and get a text, the calls immediatly drop ( we have never had any other phone do this ) it is not very durable and the camera is lackluster and takes horrible photos! I used mine untill 2 days ago ( after getting it replaced 5 times under the original warranty ) and my daughter is still using hers for the time being,but will be switching to a different phone soon. LG used to be decent but recently the quality has gone downhill hard and fast and We are going back to using Motorola and samsung. The battery life is even attrocious! The only good thing I can say about the banter is it is a cool looking phone and the memory is decent with the use of a card. In my honest tried and true oppinion,I am glad alltel discontinued the BANTER - if you are ever offered one or buy one as a replacement PLEASE DONT, you will thank me for the heads up later- yes,it was under a 100 bucks but a complete waste of money and a nightmare!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It had good sound quality, no glitches, better reception than my AT&amp;amp;T Pan tech and the blue tooth worked with the Sync in my car.  The "r" key started giving me fits toward the end but other than that, the keypad worked well and I played games constantly on the phone giving the keys a real workout.  But as I said, the phone died early for no reason.  I didn't drop it or get it wet.  The screen just went blue and the buttons wouldn't beep.  It still came on but you can't see or hear what you're dialing, so it's usless.  Had to get a new phone so I just upgraded to the Rumor Touch.  We'll see if that lasts longer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The battery life is good and the phone reception is great, just like all LG phones. Very rarely the phone shuts down and restart. I have not determined if it is a software issue or a loose battery which a thin business card seemed to have fix.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Large front screen&lt;br /&gt;      reception&lt;br /&gt;      no mandatory data package&lt;br /&gt;      good loud speaker&lt;br /&gt;      reliable &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: front screen can scratch&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I rarely make a comment about a phone I get from Verizon, but I feel compelled to comment about the VN250 Cosmos because it's disappointing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to a nearby Verizon store to test the phones available to me for FREE online at Verizon because I won't pay for the cheaply built crap that's in the market, and this phone is no exception. Most of the phones out over the past several years from Verizon are lousy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought a Samsung Sway back in March on Ebay(because I gave my Motorola V385 to my wife) and I really liked the Sway because it was a slider but the texting became an annoyance with the lag etc. I refuse to get a phone that REQUIRES me to have a data plan. So I tested out the Cosmos, Intensity and the LG 8360. I wanted to get the Intensity(they've since improved the resolution on the screen &amp;amp; made the screen bigger on their new one.....my loss) because Samsung makes solid product but the screen resolution was grainy and the 8360 screen was too small. So I went with the Cosmos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the Cosmos. The battery life totally sucks. 5-6 short calls and 5-6 text messages and I'm down to one or two bars. I have to charge it every night based on that load on the phone. The text messaging is wierd because when you type a message, after typing one line and it returns, you then can't see the line you just typed. This is really annoying. Though workable, I'd fire the guy who designed this phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In defense of the phone, the screens are sharp/clear, the text font size is great, the qwerty keyboard is excellent, the speaker phone is excellent, just keep the speaker phone one level below highest on the volume and there is zero distortion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, the phone is just ok. Again, the battery life is horrible. I've had LG, Motorola and Samsung phone's in the past and I have to say that LG continues be be last on my choice of phones and is continuing to get worse from 5 years ago.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;narn3049 submitted this review of the LG Rumor2 / Cosmos / Banter / UX-265 / Script:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LG BANTER BY US CELLULAR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had the chance to use this phone a tiny bit because of a friend giving it to me to do a review and then i gave it back. The phone has a solid look to it and a good upgrade from the scoop/rumor. The keyboard and sound quality as well as some other bugs with a better camera and little other tiny differences were fixed. It seems like LG read the negative reviews of the first rumor/scoop and made a good phone out of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there is small cons with this phone that werent on the first phone, even if the settings are correct as you want them the camera seems to take pictures of everything grainy. I don't know why but it does. Other phones don't of this model. One thing that was hard to get used to was the select keys on the qwerty keyboard being further away from the options that you want to select. Also I find the text message showing all conversations a little tiny bit confusing. Over all if want a good messaging phone for the usc or alltel network,, choose this. it is a good choice&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I liked the slider part of it, till it broke the other day. The spring just popped out while sliding the keyboard out. Reception is bad, I have 2 put it on speakerphone just 2 hear good. Web is not the best b/c its not full HTML. No video. It powers off by itself. Great for txters, if u don't mind having just a basic txting phone. I'm waiting 2 get a Motorola Devour. Ready 2 get rid of the LG Banter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;whiskey7 submitted this review of the LG Rumor2 / Cosmos / Banter / UX-265 / Script:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;3&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have this phone on the Sprint network. I am an adult user who mostly uses my phones for voice calls, including many work-related calls. I have been using mostly Sanyos in the past for their dependability and great voice quality, but decided to give the LG Rumor 2 a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, this phone is decent and works as it should. It feels pretty well made and has a nice overall look and feel. The keyboard is very nice; text messaging on it is fantastic. I have not experienced any bugs/glitches/malfunctions after a month of use. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For 1.3mp, the camera is good, but not great. As others stated, picture quality gets poor in low light, although there is a "night mode" that does help considerably in low light conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I care about a phone for its calling abilities more than anything. The Rumor2 is very good for incoming voice and reception is solid, however outgoing voice quality is flawed. I have done several tests and  compared to a good Sanyo or compared to talking into my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth, the outbound voice of the Rumor2 has a low fidelity. It sounds digitized with reduced voice clarity and poor voice definition, kindof like a CB radio (but not so severe). Many people won’t notice or care about this, but I am picky in this area. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Another complaint is that 2.5mm  wired headsets  work horribly with the Rumor2. I have tried a few different brands all with the same result: incoming voice has a very low volume and outgoing voice sounds way overdriven and distorted.  So, the only option for great sounding calls on this phone is with a good Bluetooth headset. That said, speaking into the handset itself is not horrible and the phone has some other redeeming attributes making it a decent phone overall. I'm sure it is great for heavy texters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I woke up one day and it was sitting on the counter with a broken screen.  My old phone was dropped down the metal back stairs onto the asphalt parking lot, and after I picked up the pieces and put the battery back in/cover back on, it was fine.  This phone evidently can break from being set down hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: Qwerty keyboard.  Good for texting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: Poor quality/durability. Not suitable for any active person. Also, calls sometimes fade out and you can barely hear the person on the other end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary:  Don't waste your money.  I was happier with my 5 year old flip phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

So far its okay, its not the best but its ok..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRO:&lt;br /&gt;Amazing Signal - Probably not a phone thing, but its on Sprint's network that gets amazing coverage where I live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Size - Over all I like the size and shape of the phone, I"m not into the little phones anymore(I went thru the whole razr craze)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keyboard is great to text on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screen is good size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CON:&lt;br /&gt;Buttons on the outside are small, but you get used to them..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Predictive Text! I hate how you can't have predictive on the front and normal on the keyboard, i hate the predictive on the keyboard.. ugh.. anyone know how to change that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Camera.. No Video: I wish it had video... and camera isn't great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Battery.. sucks. I have to charge mine about every 10 to 12 hours of normal use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a delay sometimes.. sorta sluggish&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over all its a decent phone, but i believe you could get better..&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
