I have the Samsung Intercept, which is also offered by Virgin Mobile for the same plan. It's about $100 more expensive, and while I can't vouch for whether it's $100 better since I've never used the LG phone, I can say that you get what you pay for. Still, it's very encouraging to see this trend, and really when you compare how much you're saving on the contract then the phone essentially pays for itself within the year even if you get the more expensive Intercept.
