Sprint launched Highnote, Lotus and Rant
Share:
The Highnote, like the N95 and the F400, is a two-way sliding handset. One slide reveals the keypad while the other uncovers the stereo speakers. Equipped with a 2-megapixel camera and supporting EV-DO, the phone is capable of stereo BT profile, which in return is complimented by holding a microSD of up to 16GB in memory. The scroll wheel can also be used as a traditional directional pad, which is similar to Samsung's BlackJack II that was released for AT&T a while back.

The LG Lotus, which also has a QWERTY keypad, is a clamshell phone aimed at the fashion sensitive audience. Having a totally different form factor than the other two phones, the Lotus, too, has features that are similar to that of the Rant and Highnote. The LG Lotus is also fitted with a 2-megapixel camera and stereo BT profile but lacks the 16GB support for the microSD card slot. Instead, it can hold up to a 12GB memory card.
All three new phones along with the new UI, support EV-DO and are aimed to support Sprint's Simply Everything plan.
The Highnote is available for $99.99 after a 2-year contract and comes in red or blue. Priced at $49.99 with a 2-year contract, The Rant comes in red or black, and a purple version is available exclusively at Best Buy.The Lotus comes in satin black or a textured purple and can be purchased for $149.99 after a 2-year contract.

The Lotus is a lot better looking in person and the Rant actually is pretty disappointing. The guy at the store also showed me that you can open up PDF, Word, Excel and Powerpoint files on the Lotus and it has support for Exchange server!

Lotus is ugly as hell. The Rant is the same price as the rumor...that is a good deal for a new phone.

I'll tell ya what, the Rant blows the Rumour away. They look similar, but the Rant not only has EVDO, but it is built MUCH more solidly and has a better keyboard. If you handle both phones, you'll see what I mean. As far as the Lotus goes, it's actually a lot nicer than it comes across in pictures. Not that I would ever own the thing, but it's actually a cool little device. It's gonna be a big hit with the ladies.

The highnote is pretty amazing. Bought one 3 weeks ago and it is a really good phone. Samsung phones are the best. The rumor sucks Rant is alot better
