Compact-esque LG Reveal and Shimmer Kit primping for Bell launch

by Darren Murph posted Oct 25th 2008 at 7:41PM

The shock! The horror! We're beginning to see signs of an absolutely impossible trend, one that just cannot be coming to fruition. Merely hours after spotting the compact-like Samsung CLEO comes an obvious rival: the LG Reveal. The chic flip phone is said to boast a full QWERTY keypad (for realz?), a black or purple motif, a 2.0-megapixel camera, built-in Bluetooth and a 2.4-inch display. Also of note, the handset will be offered with an exclusive Swarovski Crystal Bluetooth headset as part of the LG Shimmer Kit, and each one of these packages will lead to a $5 donation to Fashion Cares. Mum's the word on pricing / exact availability, but we'd bet dollars to donuts that yet another makeup compact-turned-flip phone appears before too long. Even if it's just in our nightmares.

Why are you showing a Lotus and some other weird thing... first Lotus was before Cleo... so LG isn't rivaling Cleo, Cleo is rivaling Lotus... The reveal doesn't appear to be anything like the images, nor is it clear which phone from the link to the May 2008 post is supposed to be the reveal.

Cmon Engadget.... remember you have to work weekends!

I was wondering the same thing...the Lotus is already available through Sprint's website and in stores, yet it's barely had any coverage anywhere, plus it was announced quite a while before the CLEO. I got to actually play with a Lotus the other day at Best Buy, and I was impressed. It's a little bigger than it looks in the pictures, but the keyboard was really easy to use, and I have fairly large hands. Glad to see another provider will be offering it.
