LG LX600

Sprint and LG unveiled a slick new QWERTY messaging cell phone, the LG LX600 Lotus. The Lotus has a unique square shape that looks similar to that of a ladies makeup compact, and, in fact.

The Lotus is available in an etched purple design that seems squarely targeted at the ladies, even if the satin black version has a more typically down to business appearance.

The Lotus is one of the initial Sprint devices to make use of its new One Click home screen, which provides quite access to messaging, navigation, and even Sprint TV and the Sprint Music Store.

In addition to that lovely QWERTY keyboard, which should make the Lotus a fave for frequent email and text message authors. The Lotus also comes equipped with Bluetooth 2.0 support and a 2 megapixel digital camera with video recording ability. The LG Lotus will be available in October for US$149.99 with a two year contract.
