retuned the Motorola Droid and purchased the LG Ally
June 18, 2010
Reviewer: Anonymous (USA) -
This is my first smart phone. I had the Motorola Droid for about three days and returned it and replaced it with the LG Ally. The reason was simple...the Ally has an external Talk and End button. Unlike the Droid which offers only one way to end a call and that's via a touch screen, I can end a call hitting the End button...regardless of whether the screen is dark or the phone has navigated to another screen. Ever been leaving a VM and want to hang up but you can't??
Granted, the outside physical features of the Ally appear to be identical to the LG Envy Touch (which is why I rated it 4 stars vs 5 stars)...but it performs just the same as the Droid as I believe they have the same operating system. Also, the slide-out keyboard is so much better than the Droid. The Droid's letters on the slide-out keyboard were extremely flat yet the Ally's physical keyboard is huge and the keys are raised and nicely separated.
Truthfully, the Droid would have been a perfect phone for me had it an external Talk and End button. This feature is extremely important to me, which is why I returned the Droid and replaced it with the Ally. Some people think I downgraded, but I don't see how. The only thing I lost was the 8MP camera. The Aly has the 3MP. In addition, the price between the Ally and the Droid is extreme. Consider that the Droid is $199 and the Ally is $49. And Costco has the Ally for FREE (with a 2-yr contract) and they included a car charger, home charger and ear buds for free as well. Go figure. Overall I'm ecstatic about the Ally and could never go back to a regular phone.

Best form/function in an Android

I've been an active user, including many apps, since purchasing this phone 3 weeks ago and had a Blackberry for 2 years prior.
This phone is a bit thicker but lighter than Moto Droid which my wife owns. The LG Ally screen is a bit shorter and narrower than the Motorola but I find that a positive, giving the whole phone a smaller footprint and requiring a smaller belt pouch. Small but thicker size means less flex and less torque on the screen in response to external forces. I also prefer the LG Ally's smoother exterior contours over the sharp edges of the Motorola or the HTC. I've always found LG build quality to be superb.
LG showed true genius in choosing physical (rather than virtual) buttons for Send, End, Homepage, Menu, Back & Search which are available 100% of the time regardless of screen content. As with all Droids, get a good Task-killer app (I use Advanced Task Killer) to shut down unnecessary running apps when turning off the phone; it saves a lot of battery power.

Loving this device
July 2, 2010
Reviewer: The JuneBug "junebug" (SC) -
Ok. Are you ready?
- Cell phone
- Navigation system (GPS)
- Email
- Web browser
- mp3 player
- video player
and all the features in a SINGLE DEVICE. Oh sure, everyone has laughed at me because it took me SO LONG to get a GPS but this device has IT ALL!!!!!!!
Be prepared to sign up for Google (no big deal).
LOVE THE RAISED KEYBOARD. I was considering the Motorola droid but bought this one because it's lighter, rounded corners and raised keyboard to make keys easier to find and press.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!
I even used it on vacation to navigate to the beach, play youtube videos for my nephews, find restauraunts via voice and check my email.
I want to know when this is going to evolve into a computer -- all they need is a larger hard drive and a monitor to plug it in to.

The best
July 14, 2010
Reviewer: Suzysadie
This is my first smart phone and am absolutely thrilled. I had intended to wait for the iphone to be available on another carrier but who knows how long that will be! Now that I've had my Ally for a few months, I don't think I will even get the a fore mentioned device. I love the external keyboard as well as the touch keypad.The touch is nicely responsive(not like the Apple products but still good). This phone does everything. GPS navigation, internet, phone, games, camera, etc. I have 2 complaints. First is the internal memory could be bigger. I'm limited with the apps I can add, but so often I find I wasn't using them anyhow. They're easily uninstalled in the manage apps section. I still have several apps on it. Secondly it won't play the videos that I transferred to it from my old phone. It plays the video but it has no audio. If anyone knows how to fix this, please post it. If you want a well rounded phone, this is the one. Easily connected with my blue-tooth and it comes with a 4gb sd card. The battery has held up well for me also. The first week it didn't but I was on it 24/7 playing with it. I still give it a 5 star even with my 2 complaints.

Android phone that delivers at an unbeatable price
July 25, 2010
Reviewer: Michael
The Ally is a great Android phone at an affordable price. The screen is a little small and the processor lags at times, but it doesn't take away from the overall incredible value this phone offers. I highly recommend it. One note: stay away from the "Youmail" app, great concept but it was causing random reboots. I almost returned my Ally before realizing it was a software issue.
