I haven't played with the calendar or alarm clock, but it was super simple to set up contacts and adjust all the other phone's settings. Only thing I could not do was activate it myself, but everything else has been very easy to figure out without sighted assistance or having to read the manual.
On a side note,Virgin was awesome when I needed to send my first Rumor back. I explained the problem and they just put another in the mail to me.
Also, a great place to find great deals on cell phone accessories is www.bargaincell.com I've bought several things from there and have been quite pleased. hth, Betsy Quoting Chip Orange <Corange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
Don christie just showed me his LG Rumor2 from Sprint, and I have to say it's very impressive. it has a slide out chiclet style keyboard for entering your contacts or text messages, and it says it has, besides contacts, a calendar, alarm clock, and notepad apps. The speech seemed to be a clear female voice, and not provided by one of the big name cell phone talking programs like talx or mobile speak. I can't tell you how much money I've saved by having a virgin mobile phone, I think we spend $60 a year to own one. thanks Betsie.

I think Sprint supports this model too. They of course have a new touch screen version as well, but don't know anything about it. There is very little I can not do with this neat little phone and I got it for under $100.
