Ooh! Isn't it darling? We love the latest in fashion phones to come from LG. It's petite, pretty and stylishly sophisticated, with the convenience of a full alpha-keypad without the clunk fug of crackberries. The LG Lotus is yet another fabulous alternative to the geekarazzi's fugment of geek-fugly gadgets.

If we've delightfully mentioned it once, we've delightfully mentioned it a thousand times with a thousand smiles: Make it pretty! The male-dominated tech market is slowly -- make that very slowly -- coming around to the realization that style counts. Tech-droolie frattish guys didn't make iPods, iPhones and Macs the phenom they have become, women did.

So, hello, thank you LG for listening to the fabulous masses and at least making little steps in the right direction, the direction of prettiment. Keep it up! Below is the ditty from Sprint, the exclusive provider for the LG Lotus:

"LG Lotus: Available in October [2008] for $149.99 with a two-year contract, the stylish LG Lotus makes a distinctive fashion statement as a full QWERTY flip phone with a unique square shape and two attractive color options - textured purple or satin black.
