LG Lotus

“You can pick up the Lotus in either jet-black or purple (overlaid with a floral print) color schemes. But pretty faces aside, we’re still not convinced you’re the one for us, Lotus. Yeah you’re on the right track with your 262,000-color screen and tightly packed form factor, but we just need more from a phone — especially one we’ll be locked down with for two years. Sure you’re a fun fling but at the end of the day we’d much rather have a meaningful relationship with a handset that has a less haphazard keypad, more included memory and a smarter interface.”

“If you like the unconventional and have a high tolerance for being made fun of, the Lotus might be the phone you're looking for. With its squarish shape, there's no doubt it is somewhat odd in appearance. If you're willing to look past appearances and judge the Lotus on what's inside (because that's what really counts, right?), there's a lot to like about the Lotus.”
