Hey folks,
Just a clarification. The Rumor 2 from Virgin Mobile is NOT a 3G phone.
Thanks!

That’s not what this link says:

Clearly states 3G in the specs. Typo?

Good catch, Shane.
errorYes, this was our error. We incorrectly state on our website that the Rumor 2 is a 3G phone. That was an error that got past us when we revamped the website last month.
Our Rumor 2 is not a 3G device and we are in the process of making that correction to the website.
We apologize for the confusion.
