Verizon introduces the LG Extravert for pre-paid customers

With all the high-end smartphones being released by Verizon recently, such as the Motorola DROID RAZR and HTC Rezound, pre-paid customers may be felling left behind. For those who need just a basic phone without a lot of high-end features, you can now choose from the new LG Extravert.

It comes with a 4-row QWERTY keyboard that slides away under the 2.8" WQVGA (400x240) touch-screen TFT display. Other features on the LG Extravert include multiple home screens, 2MP camera, 320x240 video recording, music player, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth 3.0, and supports up to 32GB microSDHC memory cards. But it is missing 3G EVDO, which means data is limited to 1X speeds. The included 1000mAh battery is rated to provide up to 350 minutes of talk time or 550 hours of stand-by time.

You can purchase the LG Extravert directly from Verizon's Pre-Paid site for $109.99, though we've heard that it can be purchased for less from other 3rd party resellers, such as Wal-Mart.
