Those crazy new Samsungs and LGs (well, LG singular) reppin’ Sprint’s fall lineup have dropped into stores dressed and ready for retail, and text fanatics are definitely the ones making out like bandits in this place. Starting out on the low end, the Samsung Rant drops by for $49.99 on contract in your choice of red or black, giving the LG Rumor some solid competition and upping the ante with EV-DO. The Highnote, also a fruit of Samsung’s powerful loins, rocks the music angle with an integrated loudspeaker that functions as the second slide of a dual-sliding mechanism — it runs $99.99 on contract in red or blue. Finally, the Lotus from LG takes the whole clamshell concept and flattens it out a bit, making room for a full QWERTY keyboard underneath along with a landscape display. It’s available in purple (and not just any purple — fancy purple) or black for $149.99 on contract.

Color us as unsurprised as ever, but Motorola’s unique, if not fancy, Krave ZN4 just got official. The touchscreen-based flip phone is launching today on Verizon Wireless, bringing with it two layers of touch — one on the interactive clear flip outside and another with the full 2.8-inch touchscreen inside. You’ll also find support for V CAST Mobile TV, V CAST Video, V CAST Music with Rhapsody and VZ Navigator, not to mention the 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, HTML browser and visual voicemail capabilities. It’s in stores today for a buck fifty after signing away your cellular soul for two years and waiting ages for a $50 mail-in rebate to arrive in your mailbox.
