Compact Samsung CLEO gets teased in pink

We heard the name CLEO back in August when an obscure e-mail from Verizon slipped through the cracks with a bit of foreshadowing information, but until now, we've been left in the proverbial dark as to what the thing would look like. From what we can gather peering at the image above, this here flip phone looks more like a portable mirror / compact than a cellphone, but then again, maybe that's the point. Clearly aimed at your lady-friends (judging by the pink motif and floral accents), Miss Pris here should be sashaying out of secrecy and into the limelight this winter. Don't keep us waiting too long, Samsung -- soulless beauty is so easily forgotten.

[Thanks, Thurston]

Ms. Cleo is still around? I thought the government was still chasing after her. First she defrauds people pretending to be a psychic, now she hits off a deal with Samsung.

Irony.

Looks like they're following in the tracks of LG's Lotus.

This product was due to launch in the 2nd quarter and before the Lotus. I would say that LG snooped around in Samsung's trash and gave Sprint the leftovers. It would be nice to see this product come back around. The inside looks even better.

What a joke.. who would want a phone so small that doesn't have many features.. Aren't we wanting more features on phones.... By the looks of it you would be lucky to store your whole contact list in it.
