The Bottom Line	Despite a few niggling design issues, the Samsung Rant is an excellent messaging phone for Sprint messaging fans.	The LG Rumor2 is a great option for a messaging phone, but LG missed the opportunity to make it both new and improved.	Despite a few niggling design issues, the Samsung Rant is an excellent messaging phone for Sprint messaging fans.	Though the LG Rumor is not as fast as we'd like, it's still a great messaging multimedia device for those who don't need a lot of speed.	The Samsung Rogue is a great multimedia touch-screen messaging phone for Verizon Wireless customers.
