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.

I really like the ALLY; I’m having problems tuning it off, when I called about this they had me remove the battery to reboot it, but I’m still learning all the tricks about this phone.
P.S. pick up the accessories on amazon or ebay
Rating: 5 / 5
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.

This is kind of your basic Android phone, but that’s not a bad thing by any means. It’s awesome, because it’s sooo much easier to use than the rest of the Android phones, because this phone doesn’t have all the unnecessary apps, buttons, colors the rest of the phones have. Nuff said!
