Virgin Mobile will soon add a pretty special handset to their current line of mobile phones. LG Aloha is one of those devices that will manage to stand out at any times without being excessively elegant, expensive or have an intricate design. But because it's completely white.

LG Aloha is only an entry-level clamshell
phone that manages to bring only the most basic performances to its user. The handset lacks even a camera or an external display screen. It still has a small internal color LCD and some basic features, such as voice dialing capability and a speakerphone. The handset is part of a special offer from Virgin Mobile and will come in a limited number.

"Adding LG Mobile Phones to our handset line-up is a win for consumers, given the company's track record of developing affordable phones with great performance, striking looks and features our customers love", said Dan Schulman, CEO of Virgin Mobile USA. "The Aloha has all of that. And we are impressed and gratified with LG's dedication in joining our efforts to raise awareness about the national crisis surrounding youth homelessness", he further added.

Its sizes are quite small, as the device needs no extra space for any evolved performances. It is only 3.5-inches long by 1.9-inches wide, with a thickness of 0.9 inches and weighs in at 2.7-ounces. The phone's striking design impresses through its simple lines and pure white color.

That's all that LG Aloha needs in order to stand out, as many people are willing to place their handset's appearance before its capabilities. For this reason, it's more of a statement phone that people will have extremely easy access to, on account of its small price.

LG Aloha will be available from now on at Virgin Mobile for the retail price of USD 35. It will be found in the operators' stores and on the internet in the near future, starting September.
