Initially, the LG Rumor experienced launch delays and stock shortages and to top all these problems, Sprint is now stopping the shipment of the handset to its retail stores, putting a halt on the sales of the phone while it fixes the error with the phone’s firmware. The debugging menu that was meant for engineers was left active in the firmware thus enabling accidental access when navigating the main menu or dialing numbers. Upon activation, this debugging menu will wipe the phone and the phone will be required to be sent back to the factory to reinstall the firmware.

The LG Rumor will not be sold by Sprint until the problem is fixed and applied to existing stock of Sprint LG Rumor handsets.
