Easy on the wallet, if not the eyes

The $130 LG Unify is only available from Walmart, and is one of three phones available on the Virgin Mobile Custom prepaid plan.

Virgin Mobile Custom

The Custom app lets you manage your plan on the fly. You can subtract and add minutes, text messages and data, and see an estimate of your new bill.

The phone's plastic chassis feels cheap, bu sturdy: I'm not exactly going to show this phone off, but it definitely feels sturdy.

The phone is light, but it is by no means svelte.

There's a 5-megapixel camera on the rear. Image quality isn't great, but in bright light you can get some serviceable shots.

Plenty of juice

The 2,460 mAh battery pack is certainly no slouch. The phone lasted about 12 hours on our video playback battery drain test, which come in handy if you plan on going a while between charges.
