The Lotus could be a great phone for the business oriented user. Flip phones, like the Lotus, have a better feel when making a call than bar phones, which should appeal to business-oriented users who still use their phones primarily to talk. A full QWERTY keyboard would be great for typing out occasional e-mails. At its probable form factor, the keyboard probably would be uncomfortable for heavy duty texting, and the screen is probably too small to be good to play games. But, business users don't do either, so those limitations won't matter to them. As someone who uses his phone for business purposes, the Lotus is exactly the type of phone I want.
