The new LG Aloha cell phone makes its way to Virgin Mobile retailers across the U.S. this month. With a clamshell design and metallic finish, the Aloha comes equipped with all the essentials, from real-music ringtones to multi-messaging capabilities at an affordable price.

With its polished, modern look and array of features, the LG Aloha wraps a great deal into a sleek and affordable package. It sports a metallic front and a durable, matte back finish, with an internal 65K-color display. The phone has capabilities to play real music and animated ringtones, and comes equipped with key basics such as a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing.

Virgin Mobile's Aloha by LG is 3.5-inches long by 1.9-inches wide, with a thickness of 0.9-inches, and weighs in at 2.7-ounces. It can hold up to 199 personal contacts, with five numbers, three email addresses and one URL slot available for each. It also features up to 180 minutes of talk time and 150 hours of standby time. The Aloha will be appearing on shelves and on the Web in September at a retail price point of $34.99.
