Rhymes with "Butt."
DigitalC @ Dec 11th 2008 5:33PM
yea... as in butt ugly, that is certainly a FAT clamshell
Jake Lyon @ Dec 11th 2008 6:03PM
Here is to hoping they don't shoehorn their horrible VZW wireless interface on it.
ryan @ Dec 11th 2008 6:30PM
hahaha. you're gonna be hoping for a long ass time.
Hey Ya @ Dec 12th 2008 10:39AM
Why do people even bother posting this?
Every dumbphone released for Verizon includes their UI.
Ryan C @ Dec 11th 2008 7:02PM
UGLY
Whichever phone designer who decided that clamshell QWERTY phones would be the new "in" needs to be shot.

They should ask LG for a version of the Lotus. More features and looks a hell of a lot better.
Demo @ Dec 12th 2008 12:42AM
I have a Lotus, and it's quite nice - so far my favorite dumbphone out of all the dumbphones I've owned. This however...is really ugly.
carcomptoy @ Dec 12th 2008 2:27AM
Actually I was thinking it rhymes with something else that starts with "S" and ends in "ut," but butt works too.
tash @ Feb 8th 2009 1:13AM
how in hell is there an all red version of this cell?? where did it come from ??
and why didn't samsung release it this way, i like this color so much better. i got the blue cleo and it's very nice cell to have.
