Samsung Rant Reviews:

Design: we asked our Sprint rep if Samsung had simply licensed the design from LG, because the Samsung Rant looks strikingly similar to the LG Rumor. The LG Rumor from Sprint was one such device last year, and this year, it looks as if the Samsung Rant will take its place in Sprint’s lineup. The Samsung Rant measuring 4.5 inches long by 2.1 inches wide by 0.7 inch thick, the Samsung Rant is only slightly bigger than the Rumor. It has a 2.1-inch diagonal display with support for 262,000 colors and has a 176×220 pixel resolution.

Samsung Rant at Sprint

Samsung cell phone — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 05:19:40 +0000

It is reported that the Samsung Rant is set to launch on the Sprint network and come in purple, red and black. the phone looks strikingly similar to the LG Rumor. It is noticeably different in the hand though, as the Rant weighs .8oz more and is a bit larger overall.The keyboard on the Samsung Rant is much better than on LG’s phone. Samsung added an extra row of keys, which makes room for a more natural layout.
