LG Lotus: clamshell QWERTY phone anyone?

So RIM said they couldn’t put together a BlackBerry Flip with a full QWERTY keyboard. LG said, “We can.”

Take a look at the LG Lotus that will be available on the Sprint network. It’s a flip phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and an odd square form factor.

What else does it do outside of being a texting machine? The Lotus comes with GPS navigation, music player (which works with the Sprint Music Store), Bluetooth, and a 2.0MP camera that also does video. LG claims over 5 hours of talk time and the phone weighs in at 3.7 ounces.

You can pick one up in black or purple at $149.99 if you grab it alongside a ball and chain two year contract.
