It won&#8217;t hit the meatspace stores until April 4th (which isn&#8217;t part of the &#8220;first quarter&#8221; &#8211; but we&#8217;ll forgive&#8217;m). It&#8217;ll be available in blue at first, with red and purple color options launching on April 18th.<\/p>\n<p>When the LG Rumor Touch was first announced, no price was disclosed. We guessed that it&#8217;d be somewhere between $100 and $150 &#8212; and we were right. The Rumor Touch will set you back $129 on a 2-year contract, with a $50 mail-in rebate knocking the price down to $79.99 for anyone who remembers to actually mail it in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m67Mr8NRiKIS9S56MbYyH2LSo0s\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m67Mr8NRiKIS9S56MbYyH2LSo0s\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m67Mr8NRiKIS9S56MbYyH2LSo0s\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/m67Mr8NRiKIS9S56MbYyH2LSo0s\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=Q_4sbZKDO3I:esb7brA-rNg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=Q_4sbZKDO3I:esb7brA-rNg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=Q_4sbZKDO3I:esb7brA-rNg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?i=Q_4sbZKDO3I:esb7brA-rNg:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?a=Q_4sbZKDO3I:esb7brA-rNg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Mobilecrunch?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man oh man!
