Classy Samsung Cleo launches in Canada

posted by PhoneArena Team / Nov 08, 2008, 3:20 AM

Besides trying to say the title of the article three times fast, Canadian customers will find that the new Samsung Cleo not only has a lot to offer, but looks good to boot! Sure to go well in a handbag, the device is offered in pink, blue, and champagne colors, and offers a QWERTY keyboard, 1.3-megapixel camera, and MP3 functionality. It has formally launched from Samsung in the Canadian market, however it is not available with a carrier at the moment. Will it come to the US at some point? We certainly hope so. If not, Sprint still has its Lotus.

Possibly Samsung Strut... VZW offers a carry pouch for the PCD Blitz (TXT8010) which states it also fits the Samsung Strut. Noone, that I know of at least, has leaked or announched anything about the samsung strut. Given that this Cleo seems to have the same short-stature, wide body design, this could possibly come to VZW as the Strut. That would make sense, considering Sprint has the Lotus, VZW could get this as a direct competitor. The only Samsung qwerty non-pda phone VZW carries is the aging, discontinued twice already Alias, so this would be a likely replacement. If PhoneArena would report if this phone is CDMA, that would really make this alot more plausible. Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, forgot about the glyde. On purpose. I pretty much refuse to sell it to any of my customers. So i guess the alias isn't "the ONLY samsung qwerty non-pda phone VZW carries"; just the only one worth mentioning.

Well, its semi-confirmed. Checked out an article on phonescoop, which sited samsunghttp://pages.samsung.com/ca/kissesfromcleo/English/ , then the FCChttps://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearchResult.cfm?RequestTimeout=30 The cleo is also known as the U440, which means it is coming to Verizon. If that isn't the so-called Strut I don't know what is.
