Samsung to launch “Cleo” this Monday

With Fashion week coming up we’ll see a slew of new phones. These will be pre-cursors to the really good ones that majority of the carriers will launch in November.

To start, Samsung will launch a basic flip phone called “Cleo” on Monday. This was recently kicked off by Verizon and is currently available for $49.99 USD (after a $50 mail-in rebate). Key features include multiple messaging options: text, Mobile IM and picture, has Bluetooth support, a VGA camera with “Night Shot” support. You can expect a similar price in Canada. No word on carrier but we are predicting Bell to release this.
