The LG Lotus has a form factor that is rather new to the mobile scene and Verizon doesn’t like having perceived holes in their product lineup. That is probably why they made the Samsung Strut, a clamshell phone that is rumored to sport many similar specs.

If you’re hoping this phone launches there is good news and bad news…

• The good news: accessories like the ones above specifically list the Samsung Strut as being compatible
• The bad news: none of the accessories are exclusive to the Samsung strut and the device’s firmware seems to be a year old, meaning the phone could have since been canned (a year is a long time!)

Anyone that will be excited/disappointed if the Samsung Strut does/doesn’t launch?
