What do you think of the LG Rumor touch?

I'm looking for my first phone. My family's plan is sprint. From the research I've done it would seem that the LG Rumor Touch is the best phone, from Sprint, that I can get without getting into the smart phones. Is that true, and what do you think of the phone? Thanks... :)What do you think of the LG Rumor touch?
LG has had a lot of success with their Rumor line on Sprint, along with variants on Alltel and now Verizon Wireless. However, two generations in more of the same will no longer do for Sprint customers so LG has made some major changes to the third member of the Rumor family. As the name implies, the Rumor Touch adds a touch screen to the familiar side-sliding design, but the upgrades don’t stop there. There is a brand new interface for the new device, social network apps, an upgrade to 3G data and a 2 megapixel camera. Included with the Rumor Touch you’ll find the microUSB AC adapter and a 1GB microSD card.





Design:



The LG Rumor Touch features a 3” resistive touchscreen and a side-sliding full QWERTY keyboard. To be honest there aren’t really too many phones like the LG Rumor Touch, in fact the only ones we can find domestically are the Samsung Glyde and Rogue, as well as the flip-style LG Voyager and enV Touch. Smartphones have been penetrating the consumer market more and more, and with an ever dwindling price gap between feature and smart, touchscreens haven’t found a real foothold on feature phones yet.The 3-inch resistive touchscreen has a resolution of 240x400 pixels, which is passable for a mid-range device and brightness and color depth (262K) were also just fine.



Below the display are three physical buttons: Back, Home and Phone (sound familiar?) The left side has a volume rocker and camera button, while the right houses the power/lock key, 3.5mm headset jack and microSD card slot. The microUSB charging/data port sits alone at the bottom. The back of the Rumor Touch is coated in soft touch plastic and features a pattern, something we’re seeing increasingly from LG units like the Lotus, Lotus Elite and Rumor 2. It simply houses the 2 megapixel camera and speaker cutout.What do you think of the LG Rumor touch?
Garbage. Go for an Android smart phone.
