Another messaging feature-phone has just made its debut at Verizon Wireless, the LG Extravert. The phone is available through authorized retailers, such as Walmart, for only $110 (80 EUR) on prepaid.

Just like most messaging phones, the LG Extravert comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, but also offers a 2.8-inch WQVGA capacitive touchscreen that supports 240 x 400 pixels resolutions.

In addition, the feature-phone sports a mediocre 2-megapixel camera on the back that can also capture videos.

There's also a microSD card slot for memory expansion, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.5mm audio jack, as well as a 1000 mAh Li-Ion battery.

Software-wise, the phone comes with LG's proprietary user interface and features deep integration of social networking services, including Facebook and Twitter.

Although Verizon Wireless states that the phone is available for a suggested retail price of $110 (80 EUR), word on the street is that the slider may go even cheaper at Walmart.
