Death of the LG Rumor

After years of ridicule for still using T9 for texting and the inevitable failure of the charging port, I finally had to bid farewell to my LG Rumor cellphone. Instead of just throwing this old faithful companion into a recycled electronics box, I felt a more moving tribute was due. It's time for the Rumor to meet it's maker.... with the help of the P+S Technik's Weisscam at 800 FPS!
