LG's Aloha hits Virgin Mobile
Added on 2007-08-16 15:18:00
by Randall Bennett

Just in case you don't have too much scratch to spare on a celly, LG has some love for you with a $35 clamshell hitting Virgin Mobile in September. The MVNO that could is launching the device that, unsurprisingly, doesn't do much more than make phone calls. Still, with voice dialing and a speakerphone, the LG Aloha is still better than a lot of phones put out two years ago, and hey, it outdoes the iPhone's non-existent voice dialing. Hear that Apple? A $35 phone has voice dialing, and your wonderPhone doesn't.
