CTIA: LG's Lotus hits the runway

Mobile phones are a dime a dozen at CTIA this week, but LG's fashionable Lotus handset stood out from the rest last night at Mobile Focus because of its unique square design, metallic purple cover, and a delicate floral engraving that gives it that oh-so-feminine look.

Upon closer inspection, I found out the squarish flip phone has a full QWERTY keyboard for texters, a One Click button that can be programmed to summon your favorite application (text, email, media player), a two-megapixel camera with video capture, stereo Bluetooth, music player, GPS, and microSD memory slot.

It seems every gadget out there now debuts a line of accessories upon its release, but the LG guys did something different by teaming up with Project Runaway's season four winner Christian Siriano who designed a scarf specially made for the Lotus.

This exclusive design features a very cool pocket that fits the phone perfectly, and it's made of soft stretchy material that can be used anytime of the year. The scarf was unveiled today at New York's Fashion Week as part of Siriano's first major fashion show since winning "Project Runway."

Not sure if the scarf will ever go on sale, but the phone will be making its way into Sprint stores starting next month for the low price of $149 with a two-year contract.
