After bizarre names like Rant, Corby, and Clubby, it appears the phone industry has finally buckled into a state of chaos — a state where words no longer exist at all. Samsung has brought a new trio of midrange text-centric devices to T-Mobile today, starting on the left with the (we’re told “Smiley” is an acceptable substitute, thank goodness) that features a portrait QWERTY slide, Exchange support, and a 1.3 megapixel camera; it goes for just $19.99 on contract. Moving up the ladder a rung, the Gravity 3 naturally replaces the Gravity 2 with both a numeric keypad and slide-out landscape QWERTY keyboard, 2 megapixel cam, and full HTML browsing for $49.99 on contract. Finally, the Gravity T is basically a touchscreen version of the Gravity 3 with basically identical specs other than the 2.8-inch full touchscreen; it goes for $74.99 on contract. All three are available today.

So it turns out LG really wasn’t messing around with the “Mini” name on its new GD880 full touchscreen set that’s likely due to break out at its MWC open house next week, because our dear colleagues at Engadget Spanish have scored a quick video of the thing — and goodness, it’s small. F480 owners and fans are probably plan to feel right at home with this thing, a phone that LG claims is the world’s smallest with a 3.2-inch display. The phone’s hard angles and odd material transitions are probably plan to be an acquired taste for some, but hey, just how badly do you want a record-holding device (no matter how trivial that record may be) in your pocket?
