Info from Lg, not "rumors" from sprint biased or anti-sprint people, actually points to a malfunction from the actual hardware. Details on an issue where LG recieved a large amount of defective microphones that were used in the manufacture of a few of their phones, the RUMOR included, so LG stopped distributing them until the malfucntion was corrected. The phone wasnt pulled from the stores, they did just sell out of them. They were all notified that the rumor would be on hold until mid to late january due to the hardware issues. Not to say the firmware wasnt needed, but it did not affect as many of the phones as some recent articles have meant you to believe. The Black rumor was never flagged, just the white one. One of the local stores near me just recieved a small amount of black rumors for sale. The lack of stock on the Black rumor was just due to more than estimated sales. The white rumor was the on on the assembly line affected by the microphone malfunction
