The latest introduction from LG Electronics, the LG GW300, looks suave enough to pass off as a lower-end smartphone, but hey, don’t you guys get fooled by its looks. This is actually just another mobile phone, without even the slightest bit of a smartphone’s usual traits.

The good thing about this device, though, is that it comes with an integrated Facebook client, so it will keep all teeny-boppers very happy. Other specs include 3G-free EDGE, 2.4” QVGA display, stereo Bluetooth and a full QWERTY keyboard for heavy texters. There is yet no info on the pricing or availability of this phone, but something tells us this is gonna become one hell of a popular device when it does enter the market.

Virgin Mobile USA today announced the launch of Broadband2Go, a 3G nationwide wireless Internet service without an annual contract, monthly subscription or activation fee.
