New Phone: Virgin Mobile Aloha

My friend from Virgin Mobile just called and said that he saw some information on a new phone virgin mobile is planning to release.

The LG "Aloha" is a cheaper priced phone (Think Oystr or Marbl). It will mark the first LG phone offered by virgin mobile.

The phone features an internal antenna, access to Virgin XL/Extras, speakerphone, and polyphonic ringtones.

The phone is a simple clamshell design with no external screen. The design is anything but sleek, and it wont win any design awards, especially with the awkwardly plain face. LG's are good phones though, and are miles ahead of Kyocera's cheap phones, so hopefully this cheaper priced phone will not be plagued by the same issues that the Oystr and Marbl have.

I'm curious about the interface on it. I have the virgin k10 royale, and what really bugs me about it is the crappy interface that makes the tiny screen seem even tinier.

So far I've been most impressed with Nokia's user interfaces. They are the cleanest, easiest and prettiest. Motorola's are a nightmare -- and the main reason I hate the RAZR.

Does anybody have any scoop on LG's user interface?

okay. well, i had the slider sonic which was a kyocera and the speaker broke so i haven't had a phone for a week. I also paid like 115 dollars for this phone like three months ago.
