ya at my store the rant is currently 50 3rd party stores have different prices depending on where they get their phones from i believe. The store i am at is a repair center and we have actually started having a decent amount of problems with the rant black screens/not starting things like that but it can never come close to the original rumor that was by far the worse phone ive ever seen. I havent seen any problems with the new rumor yet though and i have recommended it to a few people because they appear to have fixed all the problems from the original with it (horrible charging port/etc)
i haven't even ordered the rumor2 yet. the horror stories and many many many angry customers who had the rumor 1 make me want to stay away from it. (btw we're not a repair center so you can imagine how angry they were when i couldn't really do anything to help them.. plus my own frustration of the same. i hate it when i can't help my customers)
